None of the Realms CRPGs evinces much feel for the Realms, as opposed to using its geography and characters. David Gaider, a major Bioware designer, recently said he didn't like Spellfire as well as repeating the 'Elminster is Ed Greenwood's alter-ego' slander -- so he's hardly the right person to be designing Realms computer games.
The 1987 campaign set, specifically the Cyclopedia of the Realms, also has the advantage of brevity over the daunting FRCS. |

Yes, I am sort of connected to Rizogue and crew. When ALFA was first founded, Rizogue was the Head Dungeon Master (HDM) of the Menzo server. Later ALFA pulled a fast one on Rizogue (bad ALFA, bad) and Rizogue left to form an independant Persistant world project - the one you see at Menzo.net. In the meantime, ownership of ALFA's Menzo switched again from those who took it from Riz to Marklos. Marklos brought me in a year ago this month to assist. Eventually, Marklos decided to run the Spine of the World, Icewind Dale and Luskan servers leaving me the HDM of Menzo back in October of last year.
Now, I am working with Rizogue, FacelessOne, Nalfein/Demona and Lodrezzon to build a new tileset for Menzoberranzan out of the Underdark tileset that came with HotU. Well...actually....Lodrezzon is working on the tileset, Nalfein is building a Narbondel to go in it, and the rest of us are mostly kibitzing and hoping they finish fast (I did contribute the projects wish list from which Lod is building the tileset though - I am very good at asking people for things...hee hee).
Rizogue's project and ALFA are seperate - Rizogue and crew are starting small with just Menzo, while ALFA is ... well ... large. We shall see - I like Riz and crew a lot. In time, since I DM in ALFA's Menzo (and in my PnP group) I may finally get a chance to play in Rizogue's Menzo. One can only hope....
Really now? Well, that is interesting....... Just between you and I, I'm not really that good with module building. I leave all that to my brother..... Do you have the same name here at CK as you do at Menzo.net? Hmmm, I've been interested in their work concerning NWN since the website went up...... |

Our numbers increase steadily, both through birth and conquest. The dark elves are the dominant race, so ordained by the gods." Ka'Narlist of the Ilythiiri. |

| Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this topic more suited in the Novels section. But then again you'd get more replies here since it's a more popular place to visit. |

Yep, I am Mikayla wherever I go, here on CK, there on Menzo.net and even at ALFA and...in real life. I was such a noob when I first joined ALFA that when it said name I put in my real name. After I got accepted, it was too late to change, soooooo, I am like the only person in ALFA (or on most boards, authors here excluded) who uses her real name. The good side of it is I never have to try and remember what pseudonym I use where. |
