Judge Hades Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 No, that is a post apocalyptic future times. I am talking about a CRPG that is set in 2006 A.D.

We live in this time and I find it rather dull. Give me a post nuclear war setting and I will be happy. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Judge Hades Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Depends on how it is done. In my last d20 Modern campaign I had a great wyrm dragon set up an machination that would have brought human civilization to its knees if he wasn't stopped.
Cantousent Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Good God, you freaks! :Eldar's laughing maniaclly at the strange turn that's come to the thread: For what it's worth, I'd like a good RPG set in modern times. ...But why should we be forced to create a modern CRPG to expore interpersonal interaction that must undoubtedly be present between sentient beings everywhere?

Judge Hades Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Yep. THink about all the legends about dragons. THink on one who survive the draconic purge from the middle ages, slowly winding into the higher echelons of the Catholic Church, and during modern times spread out his wealth, power, and influence in the corporate arena especially in biotech companies that are doing stem cell research and cloning. Ah, the possibilities... There was only one weapon that could really hurt him to. The Sword of St. George, whih could only be wielded by one of St. George's bloodline.

Cantousent Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Oh come on, don't purists like you guys hate Cliches... kind of like the worlds evil dragon is the secret head of the Catholic Church? I bet you the dragon rings your doorbell from time to time. Apparently, he's Christian.

I bet you the dragon rings your doorbell from time to time. Apparently, he's Christian. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, technically he was a half-fiend great wyrm dragon and he worshipped a power within the Christian religion so technically... The best part about the campaign was it didn't have any sort of apparent magic in it till the players were well into their career paths for their characters. It was a largely unmagical modern campaign with a demon dragon and a magic sword in it. HA! Oh, the inspiration came from the epic poem called The Faerie Queene. A middle english Protestant bias epic poem if memory serves. Edited April 20, 2006 by Judge Hades
Dark_Raven Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Oh interesting. A christian worshipping half-fiend dragon? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Judge Hades Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Oh interesting. A christian worshipping half-fiend dragon? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He worshiped Lucifer/Semyaz/Satan actually. Don't you know that Christianity is a polytheistic religion?

I'd love to see something set in modernish times. Anything other than medieval fantasy would be good in my book though. Unfortunately, there are too many lame people who don't buy non-fantasy CRPGs. Think about all the CRPGs with non-fantasy settings that have failed to make a significant financial impact. If I were a developer looking to make some money, I wouldn't touch a non-fantasy setting with a ten-foot pole. "WTF do you mean 'there's no elves'?!" Edited April 20, 2006 by StillLife
Cantousent Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Okay, Gromnir, start a discussion about the stupid design decisions for 2nd edition. Please.

J.E. Sawyer Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Okay, Gromnir, start a discussion about the stupid design decisions for 2nd edition. Please. There already is one in P&P with the subtitle "Dead Horse: The Beating". twitter tyme
Cantousent Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Wow. So there is. I'll have to plod through the thread somewhere along the line. The problem with a 16 page thread is that you really should read the whole thing before you respond. Being extremely lazy by nature, I don't always do that. I thought it was an entertaining thread, however. Too many Halfling arguments for my tastes, and the drow business irritates me whenever I see it, but there were some good arguments on both sides. Of course, I was excited by 3rd edition and I still think it's better than 2nd. 3rd/3.5 is going down some of the same dark paths as 2nd, though. I remember, for either ADnD or 2nd edition, one of my players calling on the variant that split up stats into two each. Nope, min/maxing wasn't enough for this guy. He wanted to use the variant that allowed you to split strength into two different stats and take two points from stamina and put them in... something like power or some such. Ugh. Anyhow, I'll go do my bit flogging the horse rather than destroy this pristine topic.

Dark_Raven Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 HA! I cast True Ressurection! HAHAHAHA! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Resurrection will always succeed with AD&D's death. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

BicycleOfDeath Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 *chuckles* Things haven't changed much. ... what was this topic about? Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
Cantousent Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 It was mostly a transcript of the Dev Chat interview concerning NWN2. Then we were discussing 2nd edition v 3rd edition clerics. Then we were arguing what place balance held in relation to other design factors. Then we were arguing about it for a while. Then we got into some sort of funky talk about bully and Hade's use of his +10 backpack of meanie mashing. Then we got into.... oh, who the hell knows what the topic is anymore. Good to see you, Joe.

Musopticon? Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 I think the real question is, why would Meta ever seek to insult or flame someone? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
