DF Spoilers / Re: And Amoracchius goes to... [Peace Talks Spoilers, Battle Ground Speculation]

My guess is purely from left field and as unexpected as choosing Susan was in Changes.

What about Justine?

DF Spoilers / Peace talks, battle ground, blackstaff spoilers

While weve been talking about the next wizard to wield the  Blackstaff,  I had an odd thought. We've assumed that it's Granny Winter's missing walking stick. What if Harry to get possession of of it for whatever reason .... and she reqiured the Winter Knight to return it to her?

I have been ambivalent about Eb for a very long time, and this just helped me crystalize why.

Eb is andhss been selfish, self-centered, and stubborn when it came to his descendents. Let's face it, babies and small children are a lot of time consuming work. Kinda hard to take off at the drop of a hat to  fulfill your wizardly duties when the baby sitter has already been eaten by a monster!

So he did it the easy way - hide Maggie Sr. And Harry until they were useful to him by using magic, and if they had no power? Well, they got along just fine without him, so why open a can of family worms?

My memory may be sliding, but other than taking Harry as an apprentice and Chicken Pizza, when did Eb actively help Harry with anything? He only got involved during CP after Harry mentioned the bloodline curse and Eb realized that he was in danger!

Sorry, but I just lost all sympathy for Eb when he was ready to repeat his mistake a third time!

(I'd prefer to preserve the dark text, light background thing and avoid any switchovers to dark background, light text stuff. Dark bgs can look cool but are murder on the eyes long term. At least eyes like mine!)


AMEN to that! PLEASE Keep to the light background, dark text!

I recently read "Invasion" by Mercedes Lackey and others; it's based on their characters in City of Heroes. One of the characters is a Shaman/TechnoMage. You might want to try the book (it's a good read) to get some ideas of how it worked there and might be tweaked for use in this setting.

I usually felt like MUSH/MUX games had too steep a learning curve just to understand commands and everything, which is another reason I hope to stray from it.  I'd like to make somewhere that any Dresden Files fan can pop in and play, after learning some basic commands (movement, emote).  Complexity/depth for those who seek it, but not necessary upfront. 

Totally agree on the learning curve. I used to play several mu's and still have the Simple Mu client on my comp, but if you don't use those commands regularly, you really *do* forget what's what and how to do which! I think that offering both options (client AND browser-based) would attract a much greater number of people. Gotta remember, not everyone who reads our beloved DF books is a computer geek or gamer!

Honestly, part of the reason for this is that I want to make a game!   ;D

I'm entirely unfamiliar with MUSH/MUX code, personally, and always felt they were handled a bit rough-around-the-edges.  To make a game especially unique, I found it best to start from the ground up... and if you start with a code base that has much existing, you spend too much time/effort modifying/removing the systems that aren't right, which often results in breaks...

Better your than me, then! I set up the TinyMux code on my pc, and actually had a few friends playing, but it was a ton of work and mainly beyond my knowledge base (Brazil helped me a whole lot!)  :)

The only hard part is nailing down the specifics - how stat systems should work, magic, and all that.  If it's more roleplay-geared, than the majority of it (like fight code and all that) isn't so essential.  As long as there's good support for dice rolls and folk to resolve disputes, it should give good grounds  to flourish.  I sent a message to Fred asking if it was possible to use the systems found in the DFRPG, and if so, that answers a lot of questions.  If not, it still shouldn't be too troublesome!

As a player, I always found the Mush/Mux etc. a difficult environment, but I don't use it often and just don't remember the codes to make things happen. I'm 'way more familiar with the chat room setting. It's also a plus to me that I don't need anything more than my browser to play there!

But I was just throwing the idea out ... no problem ...

What about Tiny Mux? Good, solid code, and it's been around for a long time. Brazil is still doing upgrades.

Or - what about one of the rp chat rooms? You/we could get a private room to start and jump directly into rp at http://worldbroadcastingsystem.com/ - Ask for an admin named ruthe, and I can guarantee that you'll get service with a smile without any deals with the fae!

Wow, this poll brings back memories. It's been months since I've been here.

Originally this poll was mine in another thread but then merged here, I wish someone would delete it and start a new one though, I think it's a little dated now. Surely by now all the Firefly fans have gotten over Nathan Fillion.

Heresy! Blasphemy! Nathan rules!

One of the things that I love about Jim's writing is that he creates very colorful language for his characters that one does not see in the real world, especially with oaths, curses, and so one.

Known DV curses: Stars and Stones, Hells Bells (is a real saying but rarely used where I live), Empty Night.
Known CA curses: Anything involving Crows.

I was wondering if any of you have come up with your own unique curses or caloqeal terms, and if you have what process's did you use to come up with them.

So far I have for my SciFi novel: Stone Hearted as a term of praise, Soft Soul  as a insult
Fantasy Novel: still working on it.

Odd, what people are familiar with - I grew up hearing "Hell's bells and Belezebub's bottom" ... My dad was very fond of just "Hell's bells!"

Funny ... I've always pictured Bob as a tenor or very light baritone.

Just a thought -

Bruce Boxlightener (Capt. Sheridan from Bab5; Tron) for the Merlin (Handsome, dignified man, about the right age ...)

John Rhys-Davies for Eb (I know he's a mite tall for the role, but the rest of the build and the voice seem a good match)
