Roll Call!
Is this thing on?

Re: Roll Call!
On what? Crack? Quaaludes? Rumor has it the boys are working on Survivors and enjoying the holidays. Methinks most other folks are likewise dealing with that pesky Real Life(tm) stuff. Me? I'm racking my brains working on stuff for Triple Ace Games. Brain hurty now, must go bed...

Re: Roll Call!
We're here... trapped somewhere between real life, the holidays, and Survivors.
I am going to try and be making more of an effort here on the boards. I am trying to think of more ways to drum up some traffic - so if you have any ideas let me know... I have a couple in mind, but I'd be curious to see what you'd like to see.

Re: Roll Call!
Easy. Find some appropriately incendiary geek topic, innocently drop the bomb in a post, and watch the mayhem and destruction unfold while cackling maniacally. Seriously, one way to get the creative juices (and the posting) flowing is to ask for feedback. It doesn't have to be NDA-worthy material, either, just general questions like "what part of the combat rules did you have the most trouble with?" Oh, and Conan would so seriously kick Elric's butt.

Re: Roll Call!
Hullo, Ars, Yes, this thing is "on". Most of us are likely busy with Real Life (tm) concerns, and gaming stuff. (I'm currently working on a few things, and running a demo of the [i}Hellas: Worlds of Sun and Stone[/i] demo that I plan to run at CanGames ( http://www.cangames.ca) this year. l'm also planning to run a DESOLATION scenario there as well, but having run that one several times, I don't need to playtest it. Besides, if you want some traffic around here, ask some questions, or bring up a good topic relevant to the game to discuss.

Re: Roll Call!
Hullo, Matt, What an interesting place to be trapped, my friend. It sounds like some sort of surreal kind of roleplaying game involving Christmas stuff, a bad tv series, and...nah, never mind. I think what's needed here in more meat, more advertising of the game, more people coming to the forums and the like. There seems to be a limited number of us posting stuff here, and that's just not enough to sustain the list methinks. Discussing elements and aspects of the game system and world, perhaps a contest of some sort, some previews and snippets of Survivors to get folks' juices flowing, that sort of thing.

Re: Roll Call!
Survivors is going along fairly well... no giant snags thus far.
We have an outline, have started writing the various chapters, contracted our artists and are generally hard at work. The biggest hurdle was getting our second wind after Gen Con and diving headlong into the process again.
After the start of the new year, I think we'll be able to toss out a sneak peak or two and give people a better idea of what they can expect.

Re: Roll Call!
Do you want to step outside? Conan? That wimp wouldn't even get close enough to land a blow! Slowly (oh-so-very-very-slowly) getting on with converting the Temple of Elemental Evil to Desolation. I'd forgotten how hung up on Alignment these old AD&D adventures were! And the magic system? Jeez, when you've seen one like Ars Magica or Desolation, you wonder how spellcasters survived beyond level 1! I mean, d4 hitpoints? That's just not funny! One spell a day? C'mon, feel the burn!

Re: Roll Call!
Yay!
I've been lurking for a bit, as I've been working on a great many other things, and missed the chatter of this forums.
Thanks for posting, everyone!
