For everyone who actually offered a general opinion, thank you. For everyone who complained about the topic. Don't read it. If you have such a problem with seeing the repitious drone of editors asking for basic opinions, then get off this forum.

I have never personally had that particular problem, but you could try increasing the memory allowance, and maybe shutting down other applications (if you have them on) Have you tried reinstalling?

I am currently making a BOA scenario. However, I have a question for everyone on how they feel. What do you think makes a good scenario? Is it the plot? The attention to detail? A mix of the two? Is it the battles, blah blah blah, etc.. What do you guys think is the most important mix to make a good RPG game?

Well I won't tell you what it does at the end, but if you attack Erika it allows you to kill her without being fried to a little crisp (if I remember right, otherwise sorry little crisp)

Uh, please suck my a** ya f***. D*** big-headed bas***d

I'm kinda confused. This is the beta version you're just now releasing? Well, I have been using it for about 2 weeks. SOOOO, ??????

The explanations would be the same length, the battles themselves would take place inside of a town. I think it would be an interesting twist. Most people are so involved in the large parts of the scenario that most the time they forget about the smaller parts. I personally believe that a scenario is made from it's detail and it's plot line. Not the plot line alone.

What do you guys think about a scenario that has EVERY outdoor special encounter be a town? So for example if you were to stumble upon a camp of troglodytes, you would get a description (something along the lines of blah blah blah you see troglodytes) and then as you move closer it flips to a town for the actual battle. (so instead of killing them, and it says you find some gold or a wand, you have to actually find it) I mean in almost every situation too (besides finding herbs) like say you find a corpse on the outdoor screen, then you would be transported to town, and have a little maze of trees/caverns/ruins to find the corpse and actually retrieve anything from it. I will probably implement this anyways because I think it would make the scenario different at least (dont you ba^&%#ds steal it ) but I would like to know what you guys think about it, and whether or not it would bother/please/suprise you.

I meant the Easter Egg (but you probably knew that)

IM CONFUSED... Is this all real? or are you guys just BSing? What is the full process of finding these easter eggs of confusioness? AHHHH BRAIN DAMAGE!!!! Please help... I played Geneforge 2, and never found a easter egg. I also had a fyora named squirrel which I kept from the beggining and got to inner gaz-uk (i think i cheated though) Whats the secret name you're supposed to use? If you all tell me, and it doesn't work, There will be much DOOMAGE of doom. So please, end my confusion and tell me, WTF?

While I read the article pretty well Kelandon, some parts I agree with. Other parts (no offense Jeff I love you) are crap. Plain and utter crap. The basis makes sense. Yes. I have no problem with Humans and Sliths and Nephilim and these skills stay the same, and edged weapons will always be edged weapons. Thats fine. What should have been done is additions. Have a basis, every game does. Thats fine by me and everyone else with any type of brain. However there is no reason that you cannot add more. Make a spell list solid, and then allow people to make more spells to add on. Make the same concept as the weapon that has a custom graphic, and is no longer valid outside of that particular scenario. However I see why he didn't. He didn't say it. But I see it. It's the three main things that everybody doesn't want to give up. Money, Effort, and Time. Well, this is why I say it's crap. I gave up money to buy BOA. I gave effort to making scenarios. I gave up time to testing them to a fault. So, in conclusion, sorry if I offended anyone, but with a reasonable limit, there is no reason why these things couldn't have been implemented in from the start. EDIT- oh and for final request I have to go with the post last said before mine, The ability to add NPC into the actual party itself. Would be a nice addition.

Special Item or no? I'm not positive since I never actually played A3, only E3, if it's a special Item, it comes in handy later in the game. If it's a bracelet. Then wear it. Or sell it or whatever.

While this is completely incomphrehensible for Jeff to do. (It would require a remake more then a modification) I want to be able to modify races/spells/skills. And be able to add races/spells/skills. While as I said before it is highly unlikely, I believe this would vastly expand the capabilites of the editor, along with the creativity of the editors. Edit- BTW this has nothing to do with the format itself, just something I would love to see implemented...

A good amount of time, but not too long. It was mainly just a matter of conversion, and if your not being sarcastic, thats only like 1/8th of what I actually completed, I was almost done before I kinda lost interest in it. Not because I was no longer interested, but because no one else seemed to be. Edit- I also have 99% of the Geneforge 2 system converted. (99% because I have about 2 pages I forgot to add) If your interested at all PM, me and I could show you.

My bad, I'll try and cut that down.

Most likely, sorry if it bothered you.

Dear i, where did I double post, I see nowhere on this last page that has two consecutive posts of me on it.

Not to be a spoiler but, First off, Rhentar Ihrno is a friend, and the key is for a rogue vahnatai city to the north, thats all you get

A. Your computer hates you. or B. Your computer hates Geneforge. or C. Geneforge hates you. or D. Geneforge hates your computer. or E. Your computer is about to explode. or F. Your computer is trying to emote that it is a wolf being ripped apart by rabid pigs. or G. If you hoped to get anything from this message, you will be disappointed. or H. Did you try hitting it with a hammer? or I. "I" stands for I'm all out of ideas. or J. Try hitting it with a hammer again. or K. What kind of computer are you on? or L. Is it a Windows? or M. Should have gotten a Macintosh. or N. We all know that SpiderWeb Software develop all their games for Macintosh before Windows. Thats because Macintosh have better games, like Geneforge. or O. If you are on a Macintosh, it's because you either haven't hit it with the hammer hard enough, or your computer hates you. and P. Thats just about all I got. or Q. I could probably go through the entire alphabet. or R. I'll stop wasting your time now. or S. It's 10 PM, Do you know where your squirrel is? or T. If your still reading, you must be as bored as me. or U. If you are STILL reading I might just give you the awnser by the end, but it won't work if you don't read EVERY one. or V. If only I had a heart. I would blah blah blah (or something like that) or W. Try taking out the save game and reinstalling Geneforge. or X. D*** I am almost out of things to say, good thing theres only two left. or Y. Try the hammer one more time. or Z. Yea, I got nothing, and because of that, you get nothing. So sorry I have no idea, but do try reinstalling (and keeping your saved file) if that doesn't work, I dunno. It could be a million things (or 26 as I've listed). Oh, and try the hammer one more time just for good luck.

I'm not worried about being exactly exile, however the Valorim thing???? Exile is about Exile, no matter what anyone says, not the surface. It's about wanting to go back to the surface yes, but it's exile, the underworld. If you're going to do an Exile RPG I would have to say to do it right. You can put whatever you would like into but I have a few base suggestions. Dwarves? Negative. If this you plan on having any right to call this an Exile rpg, at least keep away from the normal D&D races. If you've ever read a D&D book you'll notice that a lot of information is contained in them. Included with every book there is a basis of races, and then an addition or change. Exile would be no different. Humans are the basis. Troglodytes, Ogres, Goblins. Theres a basis, but the normal races that are found in almost every setting I do not believe belong in an Exile setting no matter what the situation. Unless the Vahnatai create them, then they might be there. (please for the love of god don't have the Vahnatai create them. It would be one of the lamest things I think I could ever see.) If you are just starting to create this I have a lot of info that could make the process much quicker. If what is on your website is all that you have, then unfortunately you should have never posted, because (as I know from experience) converting any game to D&D from the computer is a time consuming and large task. If you want to make an Exile RPG, tell me, but if you plan on making an rpg with any races that are not normally found, don't bother posting. I do not care if it is exactly exile, but the basis should be the same. Anyway, let me know what you decide. (and by the way, you're probably putting in the other races and (d*** forgot the word, um things that normally show up) in a D&D setting so that people who don't know Exile will feel more comfortable in it. I would suggest against this. Me personally, I would feel much more comfortable playing an RPG setting that I didn't know, then one that confused the h*** out of me because they tried to make it somewhat familiar. Stick with what you want to do, but if you would like help hosting it, I could probably bring more than any other player.)

BTW, alot of the bugs I have not worked out in the before mentioned system, but thats ok, cause it could be done easily. So, how do you plan on the entire dice rolling part? Or if not dice what system? I suppose you could make a random number generator for the DM to use. People would be to unreliable to say what they got. Unless you found good gamers, but thats hard.

Ran out of room, oh well, I got more, so please, don't f(*^ this up. Exile D&D is such a good concept, but if you screw it up, it all goes to hell, BTW sorry if I offended you, this is all just my opinion.

Yo, Vertigo. If you want to just read what I wrote, read the top and bottom parts of my posts. Saw your website. If you made those rules/races/classes then sorry but no, just just no. I made a avernum/exile rpg setting and first off the races should look much more like this: New Playable Races Human *Avernite *Imperial Slitherazakai *Avernite *Savage @Nephilim, *Avernite *Tribal @Nepharim *Avernite *Tribal Vahnatai *Dark Vahnatai *Crystal Vahnatai *Seering Vahnatai Troglodytes Goblins(maybe) *LeaderShip Caste *Warrior Caste The classes do much better avernum style: New Base Classes *All Avernites (except race specific) Soldier Rogue Berserker Cleric Archer Rebel Hedge Wizard Shaman Sorcerer Custom(maybe) New Favored Prestige Class Specifications Human, Any (except Race Specific) Slitherazakai: EmberMage, SpearBlade, I'llfigureoutpriestnamelater Nephilim: Roamer, NightBlade, Shaman(N) Nepharim: DeathBlade, Wanderer, Shaman(N) Vahnatai: Crystal Shaper, BladeMaster, Keeper, Crystal Worker Troglodytes: Khazi, Defender, Lord Goblins: Savage, Shaman(G), Zealot The Spells/Special abilites would probably work better avernum style too: Special Abilities @ Good Traits * Strong Back You are strong, stout, and easily able to bear heavy loads. You can carry more weight, and armor encumbers you less than it normally would. XP Penalty: 10% # Weight Capacity X1.5 # Encumberment X.5 * Nimble Fingers You have a natural aptitude for tools, traps, and delicate machinery of all sorts. You will receive a bonus whenever you have to deal with these sorts of objects. XP Penalty: 15% # +5 to Tool Use * Beastmaster Many animals have taken a liking to you, to the extent that they will follow you and help you. Every day, you can summon one beast to your aid. It will fight in your defense. The higher your level, the better a creature that will come. XP Penalty: 15% # Call Beast 1/day * Strong Will Certain foes will attempt to use their clever magical powers to cloud your mind. Fortunately, when you have this ability, you are much more likely to resist this trickery. XP Penalty: 15% # Resistance to mental effects +25% * Good Education You have received the best education the surface world had to offer. You are much more likely to be able to handle situations which require lots of knowledge, such as decoding magical runes. XP Penalty: 15% # Arcane Lore +5 * Toughness Your body is very resilient, and your constitution is unusually strong. You are less likely to take serious damage in hostile situations and disease and poison will have less of an effect on you. XP Penalty: 20% # Protection From Melee Damage +20% # Protection From Disease and Poison +50% * Fast On Feet You are very fleet of foot and your reaction time is among the best. You will act much more quickly in combat and sometimes you will receive bonus action points. XP Penalty: 20% # Initiative +3 # Action Points +1 every other turn * Natural Mage Some people learn magic. For you, it's a natural skill, as ingrained as walking and breathing. All of your spells receive bonuses and you can cast mage spells even while wearing encumbering armor. XP Penalty: 25% # Mage Spells +1 # Priest Spells +1 # SP +5 each lvl. * Elite Warrior You were trained in the ways of war almost from birth. When other children were learning to walk, you were learning how to hold a knife. You receive bonuses in combat and these bonuses increase as you gain levels. XP Penalty: 30% # Chosen Weapon Profession +3 levels # Chance to Hit +10% * Divinely Touched One of your ancestors was not mortal. A touch of divine blood flows in your veins. You have several special abilities, each of which can be used once per day. XP Penalty: 40% # Call Spirit, 1/day This is the ability to communicate with the spirit world. In addition to always having someone to talk too, once per day you can summon a shade to aid you. The higher your level, the better you will obtain. # Lay On Hands, 1/day This blessing is a healing touch. Once per day, you can heal yourself. The amount of healing increases with your level. # Natural Curing, 1/day Merely by concentrating, you can purge yourself of disease and poison. The higher your level, the better the effect. @ Bad Traits * Cursed At Birth A mage took an unfortunate dislike to your parents. As a result, you were cursed when you were born. Through no fault of your own, you will sometimes receive penalties to your actions, and some magical effects will harm you more. XP Bonus: 20% # -1 to all rolls # -10% resistance to Magic * Sickness Prone You were a sickly child and this frailty has plagued you even in adulthood. Disease, poison, and similar afflictions will have more of an effect on you. XP Bonus: 20% # +50% Disease/Poison Effects * Sluggish You are slow on your feet and your reaction time is poor, at best. You will receive less action points in combat and your turn to act will come later then normal. XP Bonus: 30% # -3 to Initiative # -1 Action point, every other turn * Brittle Bones On the surface, there is a tragic condition which causes all who suffer it to have very brittle bones. Unfortunately, you are counted among its victims. Going into melee is a very bad idea for you. The blows of your enemies will be devastating. XP Bonus: 30% # -50% protection from Melee Damage * Completely Inept The adventuring life is a completely bad match for you. You freeze up when creatures attack you. The slightest chill causes you to catch cold. Enemy blows are devastating to you. You stumble a lot. Every day is a struggle just to keep moving. You even have trouble putting your pants on correctly in the morning. XP Bonus: 40% # -35% protection from All Damage # -1 Action Point, permanent # -3 Initiative Trained Abilities * Pathfinder Pathfinder skill helps you find your way through hostile terrain. Your chance of being poisoned by swamps and the like is reduced. The more of this skill you have, the better the effect. Inherited Abilities Go Berzerk, 1/day You can cause yourself to go berserk, increasing your effectiveness in combat while enabling your foes to hit you more easily. The higher your level, the better the effect. Earned Abilities Ritual of Sanctification, 1/day Summons forth great holy power, destroying any nearby evil objects, such as altars. Affects everything within 2 spaces of your group, Use of this ability is very draining. So, you can only use it once per day. Beyond all that I must say that "VALORIM???? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???? EXILE D$#@IT EXILE!!!! If you like my system, let me know, I have a lot of it done...

Yo, PM me (or e-mail) on when you start, or when you're actually in the room, I wouldn't mind helping with the staff part, or just a player, let me know. SMIRF OF DOOM HAS SPOKEN!
