  1. Both! Everything youve got. My GM is looking for NPC generators and Im looking for something to make creating and managing PC's easier
  2. Oh, I hadnt tried it yet. WHat about this thing thyre also posting which leadsa directly to the FTP server? ftp://ftpbeta.atari.com/ Username: seattle password: 3gbtset Since this link is still allowed on the forums, I think its legal and legit.
  3. Its strange how the flash countdown is still completely pooped up but you can access the download by going directly to http://www.atari.com/nwn2/presell/preorder/UK/preorder.php or http://www.atari.com/nwn2/presell/preorder/US/preorder.php
  4. That was quite handy, but is there something that could be used to make the creation of PC characters easier? So you wont need to fiddle with keeping track points on paper and things
  5. My GM and I have tried to find some sort of software that would enable you to quickly and easily make characters for D&D 3.5 but we havent come up with anything useful. Do you lot know of any good ones?
  6. Has anyone from ATARi ever posted here? Anyway, they're probably at home enjoying their weekend like the rest of us. edit: apparently some people have started downloading stuff from the servers who were used for the Beta tests.
  7. So, Mr. Sawyer, does anyone actually know whats happening?
  8. I think that what annoys people the most, is the complete lack of info on what is really going on. ANd they should really have gotten rid of that timer when they delayed it the first time... or the second time I dont think they will be releasing the toolset anytime soon. Maybe 2-3 weeks before the actual game is released(which is now delayed until November 3rd)
  9. Rome: Total War The Legions of the Julii now have now taken Rome itself and disbanded the senate before they even had the chance of thinking about sending insulting order demanding suicides etc. But now Ive got both the Brutii and the Scipii AND Pontus howling for my blood.
  10. We Swedes know the way. Its an Antec Sonata, a case designed for low-noise performance. Ive got special soundproffing inside it aswell.
  11. A rusty bucket 4 meters of moldy yarn a couple of old cans with holes in them a family of mice a broken toaster several meters of chewed electrical wire lots and lots of tape )
  12. Id rather shoot myself in my knees than use a case with more lights than a christmas tree and enough fans to out blowdry a yeti.
  13. An Island in the middle of the Baltic Sea. 100km to Sweden, 150km to Latvia.
  14. The interesting thing is that you dont use maths in the actual roll with d100. With d20 systems you use addition/subtraction in every roll you make. Its DC 20 to make a chair.. ok Ive got carpentry 7 and I roll 9..thats 7+9 = 16..DC was 20.. nope, no chair there. Oh wait! I have a +2 bonus from my magic hammer then Im up to 18.. nah, still no chair. And in most d100 systems it is vital that you use a d100 because even if you only give bonuses and penalities in decimal increments, characters will still have skills and traits like 39, 62, 89 and so on. "Drakar & Demoner" used a d100 initially but switched to using a d20 and it worked fine. I prefer usig a d100 because percentile systems are extremely intuitive, 35% feels a lot more concrete than 6 out of 20.
  15. WITH LUKE SKYWALKER!!!! ) I mean Mark Hamill...
  16. The problem with FMV's is that they are inflexible. With scripted cutscenes you can easily do things like switch the look of a character to another etc. this is especially important in RPGs But FMV's do look pretty sweet if done right.. the one in the intro of Dawn of War is just plain awesome.
  17. It never ceases to creep me out )
  18. The roll in a d100 percentile system use no maths at all. It i just a question of judging wether the number you rolled in higher or lower than the value of your skill. You have "Lockpicking 45%" you roll 58. Since 58 is more than you have, you fail to pick the lock. If the GM says its a difficult lock, he will give you perhaps -10% to your roll. Then your skill shrinks to 35% for this roll, the math is decimal and extremely quick Skills in d100 systems is exactly like a big lottery wheel. If the wheel stops when the needle is in the "chocolate" area, you get chocolate. And the bigger the chocolate area is, the higher is the chance that youll score some chocolate ) d20 feels a lot more abstract.
  19. 'Ah jus put me a darn ol' X on dem papers and things an all... after mah accident, dey translplanted my brain an replaced it with a monkeys brain and after that I don' think no good no more. Ah can' stop scratchin maself in intemate places and hurlin' my feces when I get all mad and stuff neither
  20. Well Id like to thank you for participating, Ive recorded the results of this poll and Ill be presenting my game and paper tomorrow morning. So you're free to ramble and spam this thread to kingdom come! ) (personally, I cant believe you can think d20-like systems are more logic than SPECIAL like systems)
  21. The 2nd edition by Avalon Hill/Wizards of the coast/Hasbro
  22. Yes, the more experienced players said that too. Any suggestions on how to gimp the Allies so the game is more balanced? And I played Germany because Ive watched too much Discovery channel. also: are you really supposed to be able to load, move and unload a troop ship all in one round? the american and brit players were over me faster than I could say "blitzkrieg".
  23. That does sound unnescessarily complex I do have a beta version available of the game now. It needs spellchecking and some other corrections but if youre interested in takig a look then drop me a PM. Im not posting it online, because I dont want it all over the net to pop up and embarass me 10 years from now "
  24. Im playing Axis&Allies the boardgame with my friends. The first round did not go well, as a n00b playing Germany I got my ass handed to me just like back in 45'. A brutal counterattack by the russkies followed by an allied invasion of both Normany and Italy, then it was all over
