Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I disagree. Spider, spider, spider, and spider are definitely major characters, and I can see spider, spider, and spider counting as well, but spider and spider really don't do much besides provide some background entertainment, and spider is a standard Bob. The other spiders I can't remember, which doesn't necessarily mean anything one way or another. —Alorael, who actually admits to some surprise over the absence of more cross-universe characters. It's the kind of easter egg that is both common and seems to fit Jeff's style, at least in earlier games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Chessrook44 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Don't forget, the GIFTS actually show up in Nethergate: Resurrection too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 The GIFTS are essentially the company mascot. I am disappointed that they are not in Avadon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Dragonboy Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well, their actual mascot Spider died years ago. http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/misc/jvogel.html Maybe she denied Jeff using her name postmortem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 I think Jeff said explicitly somewhere that the GIFTS were lifted from his D&D campaigns, which... makes a lot of sense. He must have been a particularly cruel DM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of thing can fail to work very badly, as different universes have a different feel and different monsters are appropriate. For example, I didn't like the GIFTs in Nethergate, that had it's own milieu they didn't really work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
