  1. PtD Bugs and technical difficulties

    Naturally I have since been unable to replicate the error. I am beginning to strongly suspect it had something to do with a conflict with some lingering memory usage by a program my wife had been running earlier in the day. ~Aldin

  2. PtD Bugs and technical difficulties

    Great game so far! I only recently came across it here and I'm having a blast with it. I have an intermittent CTD that is somehow related to the barter process. Sometimes, not always, when I try to move an item from the available item box to the barter box it crashes the game. This has...

  3. How to survive in RPGcodex for dummies

    No no no no NO! The only way to survive the codex is to lurk under the surface, never letting yourself become so tempted to respond that you actually... post... Oh crud! ~Aldin, rapidly relurking

  4. Troika Games no longer exists

    'Twas fun while it lasted, now go forth and corrupt, erhm, INFLUENCE others! ~Aldin, tipping a jaunty hat to a jaunty angle ps Give Cooter a cookie for me!

  5. Game News GODS demo at 3DGamers

    I dunno about this one. Staggering around like a drunken sailor I walked up the plank and became trapped in a bunch of barrels near the mast. Realistic? Perhaps. Though unintentionally so methinks. Unless they make walking around less disorienting or offer free dramamine I'm skipping this...

  6. Company News GameSpot remembers Black Isle

    *shrug* Still inaccurate. As a Cali resident I can assure you that travel over a large portion of the US wasn't remotely possible. I suspect this is another case of someone who's read the reviews but never played the game... *sigh* ~Aldin

  7. Interview Temple of Elemental Evil interview at GameBanshee.

    and here's another kewl snippet from Steve Moret about combat: c) Will the game have a square combat grid visible? We use a non gridded version of combat, which actually seems to work out really well. Personally I feel the grid made 3rd edition easier to play pen and paper, but with the...

  8. Looking for some RPG reccomendations...

    now there's the pot calling the kettle black for ya (well except for the rather obvious bit about HanoverF NOT being a troll and all). LCJr, Care to state just how HanoverF's response wasn't entirely appropriate to your comment? He gave you an alternative which fit the question you asked...

  9. Lack of Publicity for Greyhawk ToEE.

    Yup, Clerics (and Rogues) are generally touted as overpowered, while many deride Rangers, Druids and Bards (and occasionally Sorcerors) as underwhelming. Monks and Paladins are called too restrictive. So I guess only Barbarians, Fighters, and Wizards are balanced - well, except for the Wizard...

  10. Lack of Publicity for Greyhawk ToEE.

    Because, as we all know, no one thinks the core classes are unbalanced :roll: Since there's a level cap at 10 character levels, having prestige classes might be fun, but hardly overpowering or game-breaking. This is especially true if they stick to the PrCs that are easiest to code (which...

  11. What is the Greatest Rpg that you have ever actually played

    Let's just say any site with the tag line 'putting the role back in RPG' is going to have a certain protectiveness toward the purity of the genre. As for the rest, frankly, games like PS:T can give hardcore RPGers fits. You don't pick the character, you don't pick the starting stats and...

  12. Lack of Publicity for Greyhawk ToEE.

    Troika and Infogrames have both been burned badly by game overexposure lately. For Troika it was Arcanum, a game which missed Christmas, then was doomed by a publisher decision to "wait for a global release" while the warez were flowing. Infogrames has a rather hostile fan base banging the...

  13. Where is the interacttivity in RPG

    Arcanum did one thing rather well. It denied the PC the ability to do everything. If you decided to be a human Diplomage thief you could do a lot, but not even close to all there was to do. This is how RPGs ought to be designed. One idea for keeping things challenging is to set "guards" at...

  14. Where is the interacttivity in RPG

    Games you can't lose are nothing more than glorified magazine articles. ~Aldin

  15. Anyone care to tell me...

    ...just what the heck Angbad is and why I should care? ~Aldin (who is interested in this steampunk thingy SP mentioned but has no idea what it is)
