  1. There are no stupid questions/statements, only stupid people EDIT: Teehee!
  2. The devs speak up: proudest accomplishments in Oblivion! The quotes speak for themselves. http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/701/701931p1.html "I am most proud of the Havok physics." "I worked on all non-combat and non-pathfinding AI plus gameplay. I am most proud of when an NPC does something the designers do not expect because they decide to "think" for themselves. Drives designers crazy. " "I think my greatest source of pride, in terms of my contribution to this game, were the times during the play-testing phase when I was able to find a really egregious bug that no one else had discovered yet." "I'm very happy with how the lock picking turned out" "I did odd jobs at first, and soon ended up taking over the distant level of detail system - that's the system that allows us to store and render a simplified version of the world out to incredible distances. So that's definitely what I'm most proud of" "game balance is considered to be one of the trickiest things to do well. I succeeded beyond my hopes and expectations" "I guess for me, my greatest personal achievement has to be the Dark Brotherhood quest line." "The fact that we could actually pull off the Battle of Bruma, with close to 30 NPCs and creatures slugging it out in a completely unscripted real-time battle... I'm still amazed at that." "Personally, I'm most proud of the conversation system in Oblivion. I really wanted the world to seem like it is populated by living, breathing people - like an MMO without the annoying people. Any time I hear a good conversation in the streets or in a tavern, I feel like we've gotten a little closer to that vision." "I'd have to say that the thing that I'm the most proud of was actually one of my first assignments upon joining the team - refining the Radiant AI schedules for all of the NPCs in the world." "My title means that I had a hand in many of the 200-plus dungeons scattered across Cyrodiil. Most of the ones I worked on are random romps without quests attached. This gave me a lot of freedom to create interest through atmosphere and gameplay. I'm proud of several of these" "As proud as I am of my dungeon work, however, I think I'm most proud of the collaborative work I did with some of the designers to get the Highwaymen and especially the Orc Adventurers into the game. The ghost pirate cave also. I'm definitely pleased with my ghost pirate cave." "I would have to say that the thing I am most proud of, while working on Oblivion, would be working together with Brendan Anthony to track down and solve a notorious scaling issue. Essentially, characters, both NPC and PC alike, would suddenly expand or grow to immense proportions."
  3. MOO is dead. Long live GalCiv!
  4. We should definitely form 2 groups. Too many of us would make it cumbersome.
  5. Stop using my lines, jerk!
  6. Go here, Mus? http://www.dmreference.com/SRD/ If you've ever played a DnD CRPG, it's pretty self-explanatory.
  7. I now, er... have the required 3.5e PHB/DMG/MM.
  8. People shouldn't be afraid of H5N1; stupidity is proving to be much more contagious.
  9. Okay, these people can make it on Fridays: Llyranor Eldar Fenghuang Role-Player Musopticon? Baley Nick Archmonarch Unconfirmed Friday status: Blank metadigital Deadly Nightshade LoneWolf16 Yeah, we'd probably be best off splitting into two teams. (Okay, these people can make it Saturday afternoon/evening: Llyranor Nick metadigital Role-Player Fenghuang Deadly Nightshade LoneWolf16 Baley)
  10. Okay, some of us (including me to some extent) have very little or no PnP experience. Hence, the interest is there, but we might not know where to start. This is the System Reference Document for DnD3.5 http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/srd35 Read through the basic documents and it should give you some insight into how sessions are played.
  11. Okay, these people can make it on Fridays: Llyranor Eldar Fenghuang Role-Player Musopticon? Baley Nick Unconfirmed Friday status: Blank metadigital Deadly Nightshade LoneWolf16 As you can see, we have a lot of interested losers. Do we go for a larger party, or have back-ups? Or possibly split into Friday and Saturday teams (if we can find a good Sat DM, or if DN wants to).
  12. Oh yeah, and you need to like Avril Lavigne to be part of this place.
  13. Better cancel it fast before the guys in black suits start knocking at your door! I mean... Hi, and welcome! Have a nice day! We love alts here. I'm not saying you're an alt, I'm just saying you're really cool. If you know what I mean *wink wink*
  14. Interest noted.
  15. What about regular Fridays?
  16. I didn't register as Gabrielle!
  17. You guys realize none of us are going to survive the night, right?
  18. I don't know what you're talking about.
  19. WHAT THE CRAP IS ROLEMASTER?
  20. Can we go spam that forum, or is meta going to be a jerk and moderate that one too?
  21. Besides, Avril Lavigne is hotter
  22. Well, on the bright side, if the tornado misses, meta's hitmen won't.
  23. Hmm, if I do DM, I'd probably go the low/minimal/inexistent magic route, low-level, and dealing with more 'human' society (no dragon/goblin crap or saving the world, murder is murder), and focusing more on storytelling/roleplaying/improv than fixating over specific rules. I'd tagteam with Nick, too.
