Re: Out of Character Chat

Thanks for the response Elstarir, I wasn't sure anyone would! :)

I'm hoping we can get at least one more but even if not i'll do some thinking.

The other brother is also in of course.

I will warn you my time is much less available than it was - new job 6 months ago so can no longer post while at work apart from on phone at lunch. And my time in the evenings is limited and split between two dozen things! But I'm here :)

Re: Out of Character Chat

Thanks for the link Dappa, I'll have to check it out. :)

I've been replaying my old gamebook collection for the first time in many, many year. So far out of 21 different Fighting Fantasy books I've manage to survive to end exactly once (in Keep of the Lich Lord.)

(I've been considering trying to adpat one of the books for us to try.)

FYI - I'm a friend of Graham Bottley's and also his proofreader for all of his books since Maelstrom Domesday came into being :)   (so not AFF).

Just thought you'd like to know :D hehhe

Very cool, I like Maelstrom. :)

Oh and Dappa I read the gazetter. Amazing job! :D

Okay I've been thinking and there are a few ways we can go. Like I said I've been looking at adapting some of the gamebooks and a few seem interesting. I've always liked Seas of Blood and having the PCs as pirates could be a lot of fun (so long as we could agree who is leader.)

I have Graham Bottley's AFF version of Crown of Kings which could be very cool (I'm a huge fan of Steve Jackson's Sorcery! books on which it is based.)

Another possibility is adapting the original AFF 1 adventures in Dungeoneer, Blacksand! and Allansia, all of which are worth a look.

Of course if any of you guys do have a preference for settings/adventures I'd love to hear them.

Re: Out of Character Chat

I'm curious - what was left to do in the current story?

Re: Out of Character Chat

Heh. :)

Actually there is quite a lot left in the current story. It hadn't immediately occurred to me since we left it so long ago and I'd have to 'recast' Mannth and Tarrian but returning to our ongoing campaign could work.

Re: Out of Character Chat

You can prepare an "abridged" (or completely alternative) version of the official adventure that we are are running, so we can *somehow* complete it in a reasonable timeframe.

Then it would be a good idea running an AFF2 conversion of the "old" adventure cycle (Dungeoneer-Blacksand!-Allansia) - and then propose the converted adventure (with all improvements from playtesting) to Arion Games (so our friend will have something to proofread!).

The only, minor problem is that the Dungeoneer adventure starts in Chalice, while the Riddling Reaver finished in the middle of the jungle... so you'll have to invent something to take us to Chalice.
I'm sure you'll find out something ;)

Re: Out of Character Chat

By the way, I'd propose to Arion Games also a AFF2 converted Riddling Reaver, but with The Dreaming Sands as first chapter, but set in Kallamehr instead of Port Blacksand, for example, and various other variations coming from playtesting.

In reply to Dappa (msg # 634):

I'm happy to pass on any suggestions you all have :)

I will say that Graham has certain limitations placed on him by the licence so I have no idea what he can and can't do. But I can pass on anything you say :)

Re: Out of Character Chat

In the AFF2 forum of Arion Games website there are already many suggestions (see for example my proposal about the Riddling Reaver here http://www.arion-games.com/bb/...iddling+Reaver#p3722 ).

Re: Out of Character Chat

Yeah, I've put up some homebrew stuff on that forum but nothing really towards recognition.

Alsa Dappa I kind of wish you were less familiar with the adventure we are/were running. ;)

Fair point, even if it does create headaches for me! ;)

Btw I'm considering compiling the work I've done on new gods into a mini-gazetter if you think there would be any interest.

Cool. :) It is still very much at the ideas stage but I want to talk about the other forms of worship too - demon worship, shamanism 'hero/holy man' cults (think the worship of Dalgalla mentioned in Blacksand!)

I know I'm very late to the party but I'm finally getting around to reading the Fighting Fantazine issues too. Looks like good stuff.

Finally working on renewing/restarting our own game, hopefully early next month.

Re: Out of Character Chat

Gah, sorry guys. I've been snowballed by a lot of things at once over the last few weeks. I'll try and get back to something soon. :)
