What no Green haired Fire Mage Gnomes...

I take back my request for your job at Blizz ;-)

of course maybe that's just because we haven't been introduced to the boss mobs yet...

Nice work as always Ixo!

Thats really cool background idea, but it certaintly made me laugh hard when I saw a lot of names I know 8-)

I mean, have you ever been playing a game and thought, "gosh, how do they think of these names.." maybe this is one method, because everything seemed to fit so perfectly, Such as Tobold as mayor, seemed a mayor like name.

Was a great read mate.

You know what I really like about this (apart from the zombies, and Spinks being a badass? :) ).

It reminds me a bit of Casablanca. I wonder if that's something you could build on a bit. Have other people in the town who also need their travel passes, that sort of thing.

Sounds good; I should have read a bit more. Yeah, it's just details, but these are the sort of questions I come up with. I'm weird that way. (I do that with novels and movies, too. It's the bane of working on the production side of these things; it's reflexive to poke at the edges of these things. I mean no disrespect.)

Ysh, I think you nominated yourself merely by

Oh wait, maybe that's WHY I'm dead...

2009-10-30T16:29:41.283-07:00

yeah, but at that point he was on the verge of figuring it out....

He was coming into town for supplies and got nabbed, and then figured it out and ran back off. I could even say 'he stumbled out of the house with his notebook in hand, saw spinks standing over his dead son, and rushed over to scoop him up'.

...or that night he escaped back across the bridge with the

Quick question: (Hatch) is looking for the notes from the other side of the river, but (Tesh) actually found the cure on the south side, if I'm reading that right. Did he not have notes there in the south?

You all scorned me, now I get to put on my Halloween costume and plot your downfall!

*rubs hands together*

(I see whut you did thar... first, you convince me to play a Forsaken Prot Warrior, now I'm a Drow necromancer... I'm almost afraid of what's next. Is it bad that I'm enjoying this?)

Alternatively, you can just whack Tobold, and take his ‘free ride coupon’.

I find myself strangely opposed to that alternative. Given that it seems to be the path of least resistance, I'll end up getting whacked a lot.

"I like the realistic approach where no one is blameless and no one is entirely evil either."
^^^ I like hatch's analysis.

Gah!

Elnia is a female. The person who plays here is a guy. But the character Elnia is female NE.

2009-10-29T18:49:19.921-07:00

lol the NPC for Elnia is a blond chick with a flower in her hair :P

I'll make it a guy, but my first line of conversation once he tells me his name is 'isn't elnia a pretty girly sounding name?'

(then again.... I'm ixobelle, so who am I, right?)

;)

2009-10-29T17:23:09.799-07:00

This looks cool, and that it could go in a lot of great directions. The idea of circumstances providing the opportunity to be a hero, rather than guaranteeing it, is just a great starting point. I agree with Hatch though there would need to be some very big barriers to killing Tobold or Gevlon (as indulgent as it may be).

Aso, isn't Elnia a dude?

2009-10-29T16:17:59.330-07:00

as for the "cheating path" of just whacking NPCs, i'm going to have to find a way to not make it easy. Place a few guards or just strong friends nearby, so that it's at least a struggle... past that there isn't much to say.

You guys have the added benefit of a peek behind the curtain. Obviously, without knowing ahead of time, you'd have to take a swing and

I like the character names. :D

I think the plot is neat, and I like the realistic approach where no one is blameless and no one is entirely evil either. The "villain" has understandable motivations and good intentions, while the "good guys" did some pretty bad stuff in their pursuit of safety. And I like that the player meets unreliable narrators along the

That is hilarious!
