  1. I had the great pleasure of having met and spoken with Ray Bradbury on a few occasions. He was a warm, intelligent, loving man. He was everything that is good in humanity and only a little of what's bad and I'll miss him every day.

     

    And for those of you who have never read his work, you really should rectify that. Try The Illustrated Man, or The Martian Chronicles, or The Halloween Tree, or Fahrenheit 451, or pretty much anything you can get your hands on. Ray Bradbury wrote like a child with the skills and understanding of an adult.

    Look back at the original post. I did say US city. You can stop trying to point out errors I made in the post now, thank you.

    Uh, the answer is New York City. Did you mean "in California"?

    West of the Mississippi and east of Reno. Right. As Dikiyoba points out, you give the trick away if you say California, because most people think of Nevada as being entirely east of California.

    I'm wondering about the people in Arizona, though. Now they're on Mountain time, but in the winter they're on Pacific time, so which should they pick? ;-)

    Somewhere down the board you should find Randomizer's post and the followup comments for how he did solo on torment. It's certainly possible on Normal, as well, but you'll need to be very careful about character point assignment and so on.
  6. More than four in the game. My brain is blanking the names right now, but there's another in Formello. One in Kyass. One in Bargha. Also the pregnant woman in one of the early towns.

     

    Sorry, brain not fully engaged, but there are lots of places to get various potions and elixirs. Just a question of which ingredients you have most of, and remember that Wisdom Crystals are possibly the most important things to be able to make.

    -what mortar?, Nightwatcher

    Fixed the lost opening quote marker.

    And, there is no mortar. It's a joke.

    Yeah, he forgets to give you the magic bucket of infinite mortar with which to hold the bricks together. ;-)

    I have fun with the blinking pants sometimes. Put them on a melee fighter and it can be interesting. NEVER put them on a mage unless you just want her dead.

    I'm quite disappointed by the orb though. I thought it would be a free roam not limited in turns, which is actually more a jump than a flight...

    On the good side, in the current version it simply won't let you make the leap if it's too far. I understand that in the original, you could take off and you would come down after three squares, no matter what was below you.
