Hmmm.... Well, the lack of ability to pause would give me the same issues with Dark Omen that I have with WC3. I LIKE realtime strategy, but I'm just not that fast, darn it. I likes me my strategy turn based much more. Battles involving large numbers of units COULD be done quickly if entire squads of units could be given orders as a whole and act all at once, unleashing spells or ranged attacks or whatever as AI dictates. And really, I am more interested in what people think of the system save idea. (I have no clue as to wether thats original or not, but I did think it up by myself. If there IS another TRPG out there with an option like this, please let me know! ) Also, thoughts on how it would work as a multiplayer game would be appreciated as well.

This seems to be as good a place as any to post this... I've noticed that a lot of people seem really sick of the basic "pseudo medieval with magic" settings so common to RPGs. Why is that? There's nothing about that setting that in any way inhibits creativity... True, the world could use a few more good sci-fi RPGs, but there's nothing wrong with more fantasy. I think the problem isn't so much with the basic fantasy setting as that no one really does anything NEW with it when they make their fantasy RPGs. But that

I suppose it could have been a coincidence. Still struck me as pretty odd though, heh.

Ok, this is kinda... well, surprising at least. If not creepy. I visited that link to all the bots and picked out Jabberwacky to try. So I was talking to it, and the darn thing told me (out of nowhere) the year I was born and how old I was. Seeing as how the Jabberwacky website doesnt require you to make an account or anything, I am curious as to how or why it did this... Jabberwacky: Who will do the introductions? User: You? Jabberwacky: No, but I have already told you the answer to this question. User: When? Jabberwacky: Who ISN't lining up to tell me how to live my life?! User: Uhmm... Santa Claus? Jabberwacky: No. User: So, he IS telling you how to live your life? Jabberwacky: No you aren't. User: I never said I was. Jabberwacky: YES YOU DID!!! User: Prove it! Jabberwacky: You can only say that, but you can't do that... That's sad. User: You're sad. Jabberwacky: Because I am talkin to you. User: That is not very nice. Jabberwacky: Sorry. User: Yeah, right. Jabberwacky: I am 21, born in 1982. User: Thats me. How did you know? Jabberwacky: Because I have spotted it. User: Where did you spot it? Jabberwacky: Please put that memory module back, you are starting to lose it. User: How did you know when I was born? Jabberwacky: I am sykic. User: A sykic computer program? Jabberwacky: No, I am a computer system. User: And you are sykic? Jabberwacky: Yes, but real life synthetic! User: I now worship you. Jabberwacky: I am a boy. User: Ewww? Jabberwacky: Its not eww. User: I suppose not. Jabberwacky: I know. So... yeah. How DID it know?
