Puke - I DO buy as many of the fantasy and RPG games my budget can afford. I still think modding this game into that world would be cool!

Imperator Fyron - My first RPG was Might and Magic (the first one) and it is that game that turned me into the person I am today (PC/Network Tech with a vivid love of gaming). I believe that was 1987 and I have played mostly RPG and RTS since that time.

Ok. That is a lot of RPG history.

Gandalph and Lemmy:
What would you guys want to work on? Any particular areas of interest?

I don't know much about the 'Runesword' game (yeah, one of the 'other forums' ) but could you use the pic files from there?? (maybe some of their authors would like to contribute).

I would but I am currently pouring all my fantasy efforts into NWN. (NeverWinterNights that is )

I do have one idea to contribute, just that the Rate of Fire would be great for weapon speration (ie a Two Handed sword/Lance would do lots of damage but swing slower that a short sword/javelin). You could even impliment massive attacks such as breath weapons (dragons etc) as ROF 15,20 or 30 attacks.

True.

Do you mean you are making a NWN mod, or just spending all your time playing it?

I like this idea! I actually had a couple of ideas for making a D&D based mod, using schools of magic for racial technologies, like enchantment, alteration, conjuration, etc... but I like this idea better! I've played AD&D in some form (tabletop and computer games) since the mid '80's... so if you'd like some D&D infusion in your mod, I'd love to help out!

"Do you mean you are making a NWN mod, or just spending all your time playing it?"

Right now just playing the standard game (plus the dozens and dozens of user made modules). Once I have a better grasp of the 'C script' (wich may be never) I fully intend on making my own module. My current Character is a Monk/Cleric that is just tanking about everything (including dragons), about the only thing that gave her pause were those damn dark dwarves and the fire giants.

I can work with any of the data files and testing. I hate doing AI data files, but am quite capable of that as well. Getting the general order set would be the first thing, then mod in all comps, facs, etc. I will take a deeper look tonight and post more thoughts tommorrow.
