Pretty cool. I believe all of these titles have Steam keys except for the first three games in the original Avernum trilogy and Blades of Avernum. Which reminds me, isn't it kind of weird to compete against your own Steam sale?

Dawww look at that face.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Can't say I ever noticed Jeff Vogel was considered a living legend.

It wouldn't be tr00 indie without poor financial and marketing decisions

 

[Elwro]

You also get the hint books!

 

[Hugstari]

Are these worth taking the time to play?

 

[sea]

Are these worth taking the time to play?

Yes. His games range from "great" to "good for an indie game" to "well, there's nothing else to play" generally with the older ones being better. The only one that really isn't good is Avadon (shitty boring story/characters and way too much filler combat) but even Avadon is preferable to some much bigger budget RPGs out there.

 

[garren]

Finally Nethergate and Geneforge for cheap enough to bother buying.

 

[Konjad]

Are these worth taking the time to play?

Geneforges yes, Avernum and Avadon are shit.

 

[TeknoBM]

Avadon is just fine

 

[SuicideBunny]

avernum 6 is good, despite the stupid tiered story structure. avadon.. is.. a bioware game without digital boobs.

I want to take you seriously but that shiny "I backed Project Eternity" fagtag is blocking my view

 

[Castanova]

I paid $1, minimum to get the Steam keys. I gave 75 cents to charity and 25 cents to humble bundle. I don't think present day Vogel deserves to be rewarded for what he did 10 years ago.

Someone explain the Steam keys to me. Why would anyone want them?

Can't say I ever noticed Jeff Vogel was considered a living legend.

Did you also notice the absence of your sense of humor?

 

[sea]

Someone explain the Steam keys to me. Why would anyone want them?

So you can get the games on Steam?

 

[Crooked Bee]

The more games I have, the handier I find it to have them all in one place and easily accessibly from any computer, since I own quite a few of them and synchronizing everything can be a pain.

I hope there comes a day when Steam, or an equivalent, lets me upload any non-Steam games to my personal digital library too -- that'd be heaven.

OK.

Sounds too modern for me. I think I'll stick to one machine, and that will be an immobile desktop one. I'll just throw my Steam keys to a garbage can.

You can give them here if you don't want them: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/the-rpg-codex-giftstravaganza-thread.78755/

I'm not going to gift anything to idiots who can't donate Vogel $5 to get pretty much all of his games. Geneforge 5 alone is easily worth 50 bucks, and probably one of the best CRPGs around.

Wouldn't a generic cloud storage service be sufficient for this purpose?

Maybe -- for non-Steam games. I would however like my Steam and non-Steam (in a perfect world including emulated) games to be stored in one library where I can run any of them from; I don't think a cloud storage service would support that for Steam games, but I haven't really looked into those for stuff like that so maybe I'm wrong.
