“Me posing for a fan, while my homie gets eaten by a pack of zombies whilst defending my helicopter” – Best picture caption ever.

I pine for baldur’s gate II. And for the original ultima underworld I.

heh. Can’t have 28 days of waiting with today’s Facebook generation! Tomorrow at worst!

Yeah, I’ve been using that acronym in my dev and I like it. Aftermath could be “Bloody Aftermath” (BA) or something like that.

“After” feels like half a title. Maybe if I was proper indie and gave it mandatory punctuation (like “After…” or “After!”, to go old-school science freak movie-style.)

28 Days La-oh wait.

I actually like The Day After. Plus it Acronyms well – TDA – which you can’t really say about “A”.

What about just “After”?

(plus obligatory “Who’s your girlfriend, have you told Karly” comment)

Newbies vs pros? Amateurs vs connoisseurs? An age old struggle, and one that isn’t limited to computer games. I see hardcore followers of certain movie series, TV shows, sports teams, particular brands of cars, history and trivia, alcohol, World of Warcraft, books, sex, horticulture, even frigging make-up.

Nothing wrong with it of course, and there’s nothing wrong with spreading your interests out and just trying a bit of everything. That’s the freedom of choice, mate!

Comment on The Roles We Play by David McKenzie

It’s interesting to read about a player’s character concept and compare it to one’s own impressions as part of the game. We didn’t really go for much of a formal set of introductions when we started up our characters, and even if we did I’m glad to say I think all our characters have grown a lot since then.
To my mind all the characters have become much more sure of themselves, Rainor shows a watchfulness where there was a hesitancy, Switch forges ahead more trusting to her skills and prepared exit strategy and Jope displays a personal investment in the Kingdom and party’s welfare as well as his original drive for glory.
That’s the view from my chair at any rate – I’m looking forward to see how we go as the stakes are raised in the second half of our story.

Comment on Virtual economies by Paul Murray

There are minecraft server plugins that create virtual economies. I farm wood and sell it at the “trade center” at mcau.org . Everyone bitches about the brice I charge, but sooner or later they pay it. Oh yes, they pay the price – $800 for a stack of 64 logs.

The price structure is “anchored” by a store that buys/sells iron for 200, gold for 500, and diamonds for 1000. With no transaction fee, it’s effectively a bank.

Well, Serpent’s Skull is set on a tropical Island and has a snake theme in the artwork – it’s pretty much a given that there will be Yuan-ti at some point. A snakey “swiftness of the cobra” theme to the mutagen works: it gives your character a reason to be exploring this particular part of Golarion, if she is into herpetology. Perhaps an alchemical interest in exotic poisons, too.

Hey B, Sounds like a plan! Best of luck with it. When you need a playtester, let me know — hopefully I’ll do better on that than on stalking you for didactic purposes…

Indeed I have! They look pretty awesome. I like how they shake themselves dry after splashing in the water.
