    *Looks strangly at Velve* DM's, now where did I say anything about them been demigods? :p

    I would appreciate some help with the rules and roleplaying ettiquite stuff. I'm also writing The History According to Aikanaro, of which the first three chapters are up. RotKU's one will probably need a bit of fine tuning, though neither has to be completly accurate. I'm not likeing the way the God of War is always seconds from been defeated before something rocks up and saves him from destruction :grin:

    Aik, good idea writing the history from another point of view. When I have some free time I will edit mine to make more sence.

    Although I think the maps should be top priority.

    ....Still don't like the ops idea...

    ...Still don't care...

    And the maps, well, are just bloody awful when butchered by my scanner. If I can find someone elses scanner in the near future I'll scan them in.

    Weren't you working on another map?

    Wise One, go for it, so long as you have a decent idea of what we're trying to achieve. I'll write up a description latter and put it in the maps section of the site.

    The map will be up when I find something that will ocnvert bipmap's to GIF's or JPEG's.
    I am at the moment writing a relitivly long piece of history on the godswar. Methinks some of the other history may need to be changed in certain places if you want your guy to sound like he knows what he's talking about. No major changes however, just giving BTA a larger role in the godswar and a small change on the democracy thing. It should be up soon.

    Something that we need to decide on, what will the dress of the religious orders be, as well as rituals and whatnot. The church hierarchy may be a good idea as well.

    And Erran has been changed from a ranger to a bard, as by Lokken and Ironbeard's (I think) suggestion.

    Windows Paint has the ability to convert GIF to JPEG, although it adds a bit of blur to the JPEG because it makes it smaller. I have found no way to avoid that. Anyways, I find it hard to work with plain bitmaps, so I have decided to package it into a .exe file (not to worry, no virus). You will need DirectX 7 or higher, decent memory, and a monitor/video card that can handle 800x600 resolution. I'm going to be away this weekend, so that may impact the 'release' date.

    EDIT

    Oh, and could someone post the link to the website again?

    DeBhaal did pretty much that. He was irritated about the amount of chatroom operators and picked a fight with Tal, then left.

    New section of the history is up.

    Yeah, I suppose it will have to be. It will be recent history, possibly just before or just after the crash. In the real SP it was after, but for storyline's sake mayhaps we could put it after, or stretch out the history a bit and add it in between the crash and the present. Stretching the time will have to be done anyway, as 60 or so years isn't long enough time for the Kingdom to have been developed.
