found safe haven next to water

gotta say once you start grinding that shit it's hard to stop before you hit 100

Uh, I need some consultation.

One of my dudes periodically turns into... something, I think he got this after being bitten by a phase spider. It doesn't show up anywhere either in charsheet or under conditions.

Question 1: how do I remove this. The only way that I can see so far is to kill and rez him, and I'd rather avoid that.

Question 2: is this supposed to stop the guy from being able to pick locks? Because that's a bigger bummer than the random polymorph.

Lycanthropy, worst affliction in the game. When I had characters contracting it, I ended up walking back to the lower level of the Shrine of the Raptor... that square with the dancing multi-colored lights. Supposed to cure all diseases, and that seemed to do the trick.

I also heard that in Version 2, resting at Shrines is supposed to cure the condition.

Ho shit, guys! I've started playing this game a couple of days ago and it's absolutely mesmerizing how deep and fun it is.

What's even crazier is how it all fits onto 100 megabytes. Cleve is really a technical wizard.

I've read in your revio that lycanthropy is supposed to make a guy go berserk. The funny thing is it happened to my bard, and apparently using instruments in combat can't turn against you in any way, so the affliction ends up being a benefit for him - he can play the music against enemies as always, except at double speed :D

 

[Rpguy]

Can a Wolfin have Lycanthropy? does he turn into a human?

What the hell happened to mercyRPG and Invictus anyhow? Expected those two to be all over this thread.

 

[Bohr]

At one point one could find butthurt comments from mercyRPG on any Grimoire-related Youtube video, drama, Steam discussion, Watch article etc... in the end I think he just didn't have Zep's stamina

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Wait what, completely missed it.

I am still here, but things have been so busy at work that I hardly get time for deep gaming so I had been waiting for V2 to replay Grimoire but now I don’t have the time

 

[OndrejSc]

Doest thou workest at Otherside Entertainment?

Finished Grimoire today. Hard to say how long it took me, since I played V1 without Steam updates for a while - probably around 200 hours in total. Had random encounters switched off though.

The Grimoire Wiki is now fully updated with the V2 information too: http://grimoire.wiki

I'm thinking of maybe creating a list of the most powerful weapons in the game and their locations for easy reference. Might come in handy in any new replay.

I think Cleve is a pretty cool guy. He has some views that let's say I just don't agree with, but he has a true passion for CRPGs and put love, sweat and tears into Grimoire. So he's okay in my book. I want to play this but I feel I need a lot of time and have so many other games waiting too. But Grimoire has to be considered a true labor of love from someone who really loves the genre.

Cheers, Cleve. You're a cool dude.

Me:

So how is the manual progressing? is it coming this Friday?

GOLDEN ERA GAMES [developer] 4 hours ago

IT is! This Friday actually means this Friday on this Friday! I am just finishing it up now and getting a toolchain to kick out a PDF with a version number. Will be uploading the manual sometime in the next 12 hours. I could continue working on it another 25 years but it's pretty extensive at the moment and is filled with illustrations and charts. Hopefully most people will consider it definitive. I gotta leave something for the Hint Manual Omnibus.

 

[Circuit the Short]

I'm eating delicious stuffed crow à la thal tonight.

 

[Bohr]

Only a couple of months since the 'pdf is done, just got to tinker with the formatting' post, pretty quick by Grimoire standards

 

[ManaJunkie]

Grimoire Manual Volume 1 incoming!

 

[Dorateen]

The Hint Manual will be so large, you'd think its mother had been rogered by an omnibus.

 

[Zep Zepo]

It's not coming out.

I'm kind of honored.

 

[Yosharian]

So I took the plunge and bought the game, woop. I am a complete newbie to all kinds of blobber games. I literally have no idea what I'm doing. Please give many tips and suggestions. Thank you.
