RPG Codex Let's Play Database (3rd Edition)

[Kz3r0]

Nevill

"Hyborian Age" by Kz3r0 is wrongly listed in "Let's Plays" as well as "CYOA".
Also it was sadly not "Completed"...

I need some vote and I will update then.

 

[Nevill]

Removed the duplicate and moved to 'Ongoing'.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Ongoing: Final Fantasy XAT, Final Fantasy 35, and Longway by Crooked Bee

Join Crooked Bee as she drives a tank to save the world in Final Fantasy XAT, witnesses the breath-taking evolution of the Final Fantasy series in FF 35, and eats the cookies she was supposed to deliver to Scott the Idiot's grandmother in Longway -- three games that share the same theme of eating and drinking things in the imaginative yet so familiar world of fan-made Final Fantasy games.

Denim Demon wrote a CYOA Press tool, which takes all of the author's posts and puts them on a single page for a more comfortable read. The CYOAs that were put through this tool are now denoted in the database with a corresponding link.

[Cassidy]

A certain discussion in another thread just reminded me: you missed one of the most important graphic novel adaptations of the work of H.P. Lovecraft in the current list of completed Let's Reads, Neonomicon (Not Safe For Sanity)

 

[Nevill]

Added for great science.

Does anyone know where Vaarna_Aarne's threads have gone? All I get is errors:

Alan Moore's WildCATS by Vaarna_Aarne
Mr. Majestic by Vaarna_Aarne
Stormwatch: Team Achilles by Vaarna_Aarne
WildCATS Nemesis by Vaarna_Aarne
Wildstorm Megathread by Vaarna_Aarne

 

[Kz3r0]

Does anyone know where Vaarna_Aarne's threads have gone? All I get is errors:

Probably the IP fairy hid them from the preying eyes of the evil lawyers trolls.

 

[Nevill]

Seem to have been deleted. A shame.

I requested deletion.

Removed them from the index.

 

[MicoSelva]

It was a good decision to move this into your hands, Nevill, you are doing a great job with the thread. Hopefully, your enthusiasm will not wane (too fast).

The new layout is cool, although I would still remove the spoiler tag for completed LPs - it is a pain in the ass to click it every time I visit.

I get where you are coming from, but then there will be people who would consider it a pain in the ass to scroll to other sections they are interested in. I know I did.

Hearts of Iron [Darkest Hour] - Fatherland by Cassidy - added to Ongoing. Missed that one somehow.

Sword Daughter by abnaxus - added to Completed

Hearts of Iron 2: Modern Day Scenario (Libya) by Cassidy - moved to Broken. Only half of the LP survived.

 

[Nevill]

Somewhat conflicted about Cassidy's LPs.

Completed:

Civilization III by Cassidy (about 20% of images are missing all over the place. Alpha Centauri part abandoned)
Hearts of Iron 2 by Cassidy (a fair amount of images are missing)

Abandoned:

Alpha Protocol by Cassidy (a fair amount of missing images, especially towards the beginning)
Hearts of Iron 2: Fallout Mod by Cassidy (a fair amount of missing images)
Victoria 2 by Cassidy (a fair amount of missing images)

Alpha Protocol might be hard to read in places, since, for example, conversation were done with screenshots and some of those didn't survive. However, these LPs are good stuff - better than most. They are kind of borked, but are they borked enough to warrant a one-way trip to the Broken category?

One thing I am certain of, though, is that Imageshack.us is a bad hosting choice for LPs.

 

[Nevill]

Changes to the LP section:
Dominions 4: EA Helheim by Grimwulf - added to Ongoing
Dominions 4: LA Bogarus by Grimwulf - added to Ongoing

Absolutely amazing stuff. No one appreciates strategy games quite like the glorious Vatniks.

ADOM by empi - moved to Completed. It is as complete as it will ever be.
Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence by RK47 - moved to Completed.

Not sure about the Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble by Crooked Bee. It is listed in Completed, yet it is obviously abandoned. Should I move it there?

The border separating a Completed LP from an Abandoned one is not very obvious.

 

[Nevill]

Changes to the LP section:
Call of Cthulhu: Shadow Of The Comet by ghostdog - moved to Broken.
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening by DarthBehemoth - moved to Broken
Weird Worlds by Multi-headed Cow - moved to Broken

Changes to the Let's Read section:
Judge Dreadd by Stereotypical Villain - added to Completed

Changes to the CYOA section:
Detention Delving (CYOA) by Cheesecake - added to Ongoing
Lordship: A Suggestion Game by Gobblecock - added to Ongoing

I am gradually backing up certain LPs. Too many were lost due to poor hosting choices, and even the ones that are featured in the Completed section are sometimes missing a good chunk of images. I will mark the ones I keep locally with a '*' symbol for a while, until I am done sorting them out. If this is bothering anyone, I can probably remove the extra symbols and keep the list locally as well.

Let's unban Andyman Messiah! staged by DarkUnderlord - moved to WTF

Thinking of a separate section where I could list LPs that are not completely broken, but that are a bit hard to follow due to damage. Ideally, the completed LPs should be reserved for stuff that is 100% readable.

I am also trying to sort the mess that is the Abandoned section. For now, I have set a target of 3 updates as a guideline of whether or not an LP is considered 'Vapourware', e.g. if it shoud belong to the "Didn't really take off" section.

Changes to the Abandoned LP Section:

Neverwinter Nights: A Dance with Rogues by RK47 - moved to Completed. First part of the module is done, might as well move it there.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura by Shota Shernokavich - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair
Armageddon Empires by Disconnected - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair
Avernum 4 by ElectricOtter - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair
Curse of the Azure Bonds by oldmanpaco - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair
Disgaea by Cenobyte - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair
Divine Divinity by Machined Plate Man - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair
Final Fantasy VI by GarfunkeL - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair. It was an awesome LP, too.
Fountain of Dreams by mirrorshades - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair
Heroes of Jin Yong by MisterStone - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair
Merlinda's Icewind Dale 2 Mod by Rohit_N - moved to Broken, Beyond Repair

Victoria 2 by Cassidy - moved to Broken, Salvageable

Betrayal at Krondor by Suchy - moved to Vapourware
(Una)Bomberman 64 by Edward_R_Murrow - moved to Vapourware
Doom (the roguelike) by 7hm - moved to Vapourware
Do You Like Horny Bunnies? (Hentai Restaurant Simulator) by sportforredneck - moved to Vapourware. A bit of showcasing, and that was it.
Dragon Wars by Zoidstar - moved to Vapourware
Eye of the Beholder by Topher - moved to Vapourware
Hinterland by Ashery - moved to Vapourware
Icewind Dale by Aegeri - moved to Vapourware
Jagged Alliance 2 by ironyuri - moved to Vapourware - there were 4 updates, but he only took Drassen before abandoning the LP.
Might and Magic VI - The Chaos Conspiracy by theverybigslayer - moved to Vapourware. This was supposed to be a mod review/LP, but there are just a few screenshots/comments and that's it.
Miss Popularity by JarlFrank - moved to Vapourware. I suppose two updates were enough to see what kind of game it was.
Murders in Space by SCO - moved to Vapourware. All images are missing, too, making it a Broken one as well. However, it looks - well, sounds - interesting enough that I didn't move it straight to the Graveyard.
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer by Lumpy/Nerve Gas/Pastel - moved to Vapourware. This one has barely started, with 3 screenshots in total.

Fabled Lands by Jaime Lannister - moved under Abandoned CYOAs

Changes to the Let's Read section:
Hardboiled Sakata by spekkio - added to Completed.

Edit: my Chrome is acting up. Sometimes it does not display images, even though it should. I will double-check all the LPs I marked as 'Broken' to make sure it's not just me seeing things.

Edit2: screw it, spekkio's Fallout Tactics LP was the last straw. I have introduced 3 separate categories of brokenness - for salvageable LPs, completed and abandoned, and for those that are beyond repair.

The question remains, do we want the 'beyond repair' section at all? There are some legit LPs there, but most of the stuff is of the 'abandoned on page 2' kind. Perhaps it might be worth it to clean it up.

At least the "didn't take off" section shows off something from the game, a genre or a few screenshots - I can see the value in that.

Changes to the Broken LP section:

Hearts of Iron 2: Modern Day Scenario (Libya) by Cassidy - moved to Broken, Salvageable (abandoned)
Sengoku Rance by Lestat (images missing), continued by Whiskeywolf - restored back to Completed
X-COM 2 - Terror from the Deep started by GarfunkeL, finished by Orgasm - moved to Broken, Salvageable (completed)

Edit3: spekkio says his Fallout Tactics and Odin's Sphere LPs are backed up on his HDD. Excellent.

 

[Nevill]

Fallout Tactics by spekkio is moved back to Completed, since there is a backup copy readily available. If only more people kept such copies.

I hope we will be able to restore Odin Sphere next.

Edit: done!

 

[spekkio]

^Gib monies.

[Baron Dupek]

You were right. Seems like I choosed poorly and minus . com is borking more and more images in my LPs. Thank goodness next one will go into imgur (or do you have another reliable?).
Not sure if worth going into Broken...
I'm gonna do something with it (i.e. throw them all to my imgur account).
