    [​IMG] I won't say much - just pop on these pages and see what is it about.
    It is a new RPG, it should be in stores across the Europe this year unlike PoR.

    Ah, yes, it is not d&d. That detail makes this RPG to me as musthave! :p


    [EDIT]

    Tal, I admire your optimism...
    Ragusa, but it it still NOT d&d :p

    [I'm the worst pessimist here, so... :p
    Seriously, the game has already gone gold and there will be no changes so no real reason for another delay either.] -Tal

    [​IMG] Erm... What do you mean unlike PoR? PoR will be in stores across the USA by the end of this month and in Europe at the end of November at worst.

    [​IMG] This game armalion is based on the first p&p rpg I ever played (it is rather popular in germany) named "the black eye" (Das Schwarze Auge = DSA). It was pretty fun to play.

    Looks promising. Hmm, however, I am looking forward to PoR as well :)

    Eytremist, you might possibly be a wee bit disappointed, since ,iirc, the gaming system is rather similar to AD&D iirc :grin: ;) :p

    Ah, finally a CRPG with horses that you can ride. Who says that they're impossible to code or script or whatever. Also has climbing and jumping skills (nice...wish NWN had those).
    http://www.armalion.de/English/index2.htm

    As far as impressions go, it looks kinda like cheap DND to me personally. Picking a premade character isn't that great, and neither are the picks of classes (WTF...elf as a character class?!? Am I missing something?) The spell effects look nice as do the characters (reminds me of PoR2 in that respect). For whatever reason, the characters are huge on the screne. Don't know how I feel about that. The backgrounds look dated. The website isn't very specific about much really, but all in all it looks ok. Hopefully I can get my hands on a copy and check it out. It looks to be one of better alternative non dnd games I've seen lately (by the I mean non diablo like games:p). But I do have one question. What do they mean by boring character creation and stats? As the Hurricane would say....Waz up wit dat?!? (don't flame my spelling...that's about how it sounds...cept in a high pitch voice)
