I'd like to turn off the game startup clips, especially when they are heinous like Atari's. -

Very nice. I like the level of detail, atmosphere, self-consistency, and culture you are integrating into each of the classes. Every class I've read thus far seems like one I would enjoy playing. I also like the amount of D&D heritage I'm recognizing in the spell descriptions. Good job. Thank you for the update.

I'd no idea they had a scheduled release time...

All I know is that the sixteen accounts I have on my ignore list resulted in a generally more pleasant and insightful reading experience.

For the slacker backers, there will be the Silver Codpiece of the Camp Follower. They will also gain a unique goat pet named Thumper that is located, for reasons "beyond the comprehension of a mere mortal", in the depths of the Endless Paths. Attached to the pet, you will find an old scroll inside detailing what you may have won if you'd only selected a different door....

I believe you get the Master of the Boot achievement, which supplies you with a mule-towed charcoal grill for your camp site along with a burly cook named Jordan.... ...nah, not really. We don't know.

Distinctive female armor forms is more of a nod toward the visual gameplay elements, but for me they don't break the immersion so it remains a non issue. It (female-shaped armor) can be successfully explained away through alternate universe cultural aspects (as mentioned earlier), and shouldn't break the verisimilitude as long as the shapes aren't completely ludicrous in form. The issue might matter more if this was a real-world historical simulation. It's not. Agreed.

A group of rats is called a 'mischief'. Heh...

Posting unique information at different sites would be connecting with a larger audience. I suspect that is not intentional though. Individually they would have different sets of contacts, and perhaps topics just percolate up from discussions elsewhere. They certainly don't owe us a single-source continual news feed for points of discussions--that's a perception of contributor entitlement.

If you bothered to read your own link, I've never once complained about boob plate. In fact, you will not find a post by me in any boob plate thread. So I'm at a loss why you would say I am one of the last diehards from the boob plate armour threads continuing with the boob scale armour. But you do have a habit of posting and jumping to conclusions. Also, I'm unsure why you need me to post links to boob armour threads? Are you suggesting there wasn't threads and pages and pages of people not wanting boob plate? Did I miscount? There is Ffordesoon and Gromnir at least. Well I was just responding to this, where you found the situation odd so I wanted to look back and see more of the details. Your statements were so broad and sweeping, that I had to see more. It was a while ago. and then: Right, so it's clearly in another thread and not the one I linked at and did bother to read but not all the way through. You've behaved rather unfortunately in the past, so normally I have you on my block list. Ergo I may have missed whether you commented or not. No matter. Pointless discussion anyway. Bye.

To give RPGCodex their due, they do put out some pretty decent game reviews from time to time. But yeah, pretty much agree with the sentiment.

Congratulations to Mr. Kirsch. I look forward to reading his contribution.

...and so is arsenic...
Sorry, it sounds like I responded without following enough of the thread.
Meh, whatever. I just want armor that looks somewhat plausible and has plenty of character variety and distinctiveness. Ludicrous chain mail bikinis? No. Form fitting flexible scale armor for male and female with some exaggeration for pixel displays? I'm totally fine with that. You have your preferences, I have mine. I'm not really seeing why you have an issue (other than politics), and I probably don't care.
It's not clear? Well it's a historical example of a type of armor designed to exaggerate masculine features. There's no particular defensive benefit to the shape; it requires additional work to build and it is less than optimal from an engineering perspective. But I have to wonder: if there had been no such armor, would the same individuals be clamoring to have it removed from the game as completely ridiculous? I'm just making a point from a cultural perspective here that it is a political bias that is shaping opinions on the matter. Not a sense of anthropological or engineering realism.
