A Land Far Away

.... And still not on the front page... :not: This is a "feature" of MS Open being divorced from the main Live persistency database, unfortunately. Unless someone re-codes the web frontend to treat MS independently of the other servers (just for the month, at the end of which it'd need to...

Please note that MS will not show as populated on the website applet during the "open server" period. Your history tab in the NWN2 client will show it properly, as will Zelknolf's handy application, linked in the main discussion forum: http://www.alandfaraway.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&a...

Very impressive work! It should be noted, for purposes of the Moonshaes Open Server period starting on Saturday, that Zelknolf's application above should allow people to keep an eye on whether anyone is on, despite the fact that the main website monitor app won't be displaying current info on it (du...

For what it's worth, I'm still very against the idea of giving direct in-game benefit (XP) for out-of-game contributions generally, whether it's bios, tech work, hosting, library submissions, etc. Writing a bio for your PC already pays dividends to some extent, in that it opens up backstory/motivati...

2- add this to the bottom of the file: 206.188.193.233 download.alandfaraway.org 91.121.115.201 download2.alandfaraway.org I suspect the mirror download site does not have the most current version of the walkmesh in question. There used to be an active link that told the secondary server to update ...

I hit people with swords (foil, epee, and saber fencing)...

ballroom dance, club dance, sometime club DJ (industrial/gothic/dark electronic)...

Also monkey about with cancer-causing human viruses, expired blood units, and kid's tonsils. But that doesn't count, because I get paid for that.

Power has been restored, vault re-linked, Moonshaes is back up and stable.

Power is out at the MS hostsite; most likely a quite temporary outage, but it's running on battery backups for the moment. I will give it 15-20m to see if the power comes back, but if not, I'll shut things down. Since I have to head into work for a while today, it may be out of commission until this...

Seems that BG is up and working, back on the vault, as of now. Posting to Gamespy and all, seems to be running smoothly.

Great work, hope all else is OK out your way (or at least swiftly on the mend!).

Danielmn arrived safely in Charlottesville yesterday; made a trip out to Blue Mountain Brewery with Loulabelle yesterday evening, at which many tasty brews were sampled.



Next up; packing up vehicle and heading north!

the way I have seen troll described is their severed parts reform themselves or they sprout into new full trolls. The monster compendium will have the rules for troll killing. I think I know what you're thinking of there (Moonshaes' "Druid Queen" novel), but I think that was mostly due to...

Bumping this as a reminder and to confirm- we are looking at Friday Oct 5th and Sat Oct 6th. Camping/cabinning, plus renfaire attendance. One cabin reserved, one campsite planned but not yet booked. Confirmed attendees (staying at the campsite or cabin): -AcadiusLost -Riotnrrd -Heero -SwordSaintM -D...

Well, "upgrading" the higher-value item still tends to work out better cost-wise than selling both (at 50% max buyback) and buying a pricey dual-function item at 100% plus markup... you just don't get any discount on the upgrade cost from having another item with the desired enchantment. R...

I'm not aware of any static or encounter systems in ALFA presently that scale difficulty based on your XP or level, so it shouldn't be a case of survival problems vs. static content because of an XP/wealth mismatch. There is potential for DM overestimation, but that's why the wealth tools are availa...

My copy apparently will arrive on Thursday, looking forward to checking it out.
