Hmm, tricky. I'd probably have to say flight/telekinesis and total recall. I would say pyrokinesis too, but while it looks flashy I can't really think of many practical uses for it.

Character submitted.

Wow. I hadn't realized just how many custom graphics I'd made over the years. I did make them quite a while ago; is anything I have even worth adding? A lot of them are quite similar to others, since I'd save each version of an in progress graphic; probably would be best for me to only send the best of any given set? Also, some of the floor- and wall-sets are incomplete, due to various things. Would you want them anyway, or just ones with a semi-complete itemset? What about the ones that just transplant existing furniture onto other existing floors/walls; should I check for already existing versions of them, or just send them all? Or none? Thanks :-D

Dark here. I just wish the smilies worked, but I suppose one can't have everything. Also, the "Avernum: Escape from the Pit" forum header is very funny-looking on non-white.

Hmm, tricky. I keep thinking I have it solved, then realize that it wouldn't work.

That way I can see your description of the graphic and use it to feed my indexes. Or you can just zip them up and send them Private Message along with a description of each one. Hmm, I don't have descriptions, really. They're just ones I've had for my own personal use. What form should these descriptions take? A list of keywords, or an actual description sentence/paragraph?

How would one go about submitting graphics to this archive? I have dozens of BoE graphics (mostly edits, but some original) from several unfinished scenarios I started years ago and will probably never get around to finishing or releasing. It would be nice to know that at least the graphics would be available to anyone else who wanted them.

Besides, it's not like I have time to do MMORPG's now... It certainly isn't Kotor 3, at least not as I would have wanted it. My first beta weekend was very disillusioning, but - even though some of the MMO elements are quite distracting at first and it's so different from Kotors 1&2 - I'll still play it, enjoy it for what it is, and quietly mourn its lost potential. As I haven't played Dragon Age 2, I can't specifically answer that fear. I do know people who won't play TOR after having seen what it's like, and I'm guessing you might fall into that category.

I just got my early game access today. Haven't actually logged in yet, but from what I saw in beta I'm looking forward to it.

Do we know yet if Thursday is going to work for the next session?

Exile 1. No Avernum can come close.

Click to reveal.. (Ak-Deevt Level 7) Adding: 1 to Intelligence, 5 to Evocation (1+2+3+4+5), 1 to First Aid (4) Name: Ak-Deevt Alignment: Inquisitive Race: Lacewing Occupation: Traveling Mage Level: 7 Skill Points: 1 Strength: 5 Dexterity: 4 Intelligence: 7 HP: 45/45 Stamina: -/10 Magic (Conjuration): 6 Magic (Transmutation): 6 Magic (Evocation): 5 Magic (Enchantment): 5 Martial (Knives): 3 First Aid: 4 Composure: 3 Nature: 3 Perception: 2 Stealth: 2 Artifice: 2 Thievery: 1 (RB) History: 1 (RB) New spells: Strike (evoc), (pending approval), Evokes a powerful blast of elemental or other energy (i.e. lightning) to bombard a target, or several targets close together with weaker blasts. Manipulate (evoc), (pending approval), allows the caster to move or otherwise alter existing substances. This spell’s effects are stronger the closer the substance is to a base energy or element, and may cost stamina for very large or impure instances.

That is a magnificent achievement. Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your brief vacation.

I have a couple of vague character ideas but, as much as I'd love to play this, I get the feeling that my unavailability on weekends could be a bit of a problem.

I've long been considering DMing a two or three part campaign series, starting with level one characters and going up from there, (sort of like the Selos/Risis>RoMD progression.) I have a basic map of my island and a general idea of what I want to do in each of the campaigns; a few NPCs, situations, and enemies. But I have no idea where to start as far as what preparation actually goes into running such a thing. How much needs to be planned in advance, and how much do you let the players deviate from your plans? Is it excessive to have three alternate routes planned out around the same obstacle? What do I do to ensure that situations are properly balanced and possible? How do I avoid giving too much away, while still telling enough that everyone isn't completely confused? How do I know whether to push the players forward or just let them muddle around in any given situation? I'm just so totally new to doing something like this, with people I don't know IRL, it's a rather daunting prospect. I've been putting off actually thinking about it all year, but if anything's going to get done, I guess I need to start somewhere. Any experienced DMs care to help me out?

Just wanted to say I love your little countdown thingy. :-D

Given the opportunity, I'd probably give it a try. Pretty much exactly this.

Any news on the log and/or calendar front?

:-(

Heh, I was just thinking earlier today that I hadn't seen you posting in a while. Welcome back, and congratulations on the internship! :-D

How goes the date-choosing for our next session?

Left shift. But I don't type right at all; though I did try to learn the right way at one point, I quickly got tired of the exercises and resigned myself to ~40 words per minute my hideous monstrosity of a method allows.

Six hours left; Steam Daily Deal: Avadon for 4.99. If I hadn't already bought it I'd pick it up.

Is it just me, or have these forums developed some...interesting trends in the past few weeks...

I've been waiting and checking his blog frequently, in the hopes he'll tell us about how Avadon did on Steam, but he hasn't said anything about it since the announcement.
