D&D mod: tjedge1-Mystara

[tjedge1]

The 2nd edition MM was probably what got me into D&D in the first place. I was in 6th grade at the time....memories

I never used that edition. Funny thing. I was playing before it ever came out. When It came out, I had moved on to other games rules.

 

[odintheking]

Jeez, I've never even played any D&D game, ever, but I'm still interested in this mod. Kinda strange.

 

[tjedge1]

Not really. D&D is the combining of all things fantasy and adding onto it. If you like fantasy or mythology you can find something in D&D.

 

[tjedge1]

I'm going to try and update the screenshots and previews of the mod on CDG. Here is an updated version of the leaders. THis will most likely change again, as 3 of these are being replaced with more specific designed leaders.

 

[odintheking]

Yes, yes, much better, although "Ierendi" looks a little more postmodern with their tight, plastic bikini-ish "clothes", rather than medieval. Not to say that's necissarily a bad thing,

 

[tjedge1]

I agree with you odintheking but as you said that's not such a bad thing. Can't bring myself to change it out. groucho

 

[tjedge1]

I decided to go with a more D&D oriented title screen fo rthe mod and found this on the net form the old Capcom side scrolling game. Added the text and here it is. Tell me what you think. And I've updated several pictures on CDG. Still need to update the typed stuff there, that'll be tomorrow.

 

[Hamah]

Why not post some pictures here instead of CDG? Or also the CDG pictures here?

 

[odintheking]

Yes, I like this one better than the old one. It looks D&Dish, (I hope)

 

[tjedge1]

I don't post a lot of pictures here because I would have to upload pictures here to get them organized like I do on CDG. Then if I make any change to the picture I have to contact Thunderfall to delete the old one. On CDG I have access to the picture and a spot on their server where I can upload and delete pictures and files at my desire. I had them on both forums for a while, but updating became a bit of a hassle here. You don't have to register to view the previews on CDG. Besides, CDG doesn't send annoying spamsor anything even if you registerso I don't see any problem with having the previews there.

EDIT: I thought of linking the pictures from CDG to here, but I was informed that CDG and CFC do not allow that. Seems to have been some problems in the past.

 

[Hamah]

Ok then, I´ll get to CDG and see the pictures there.

 

[tjedge1]

I updated the overview posts here on CFC, but there is still only links to CDG for the pictures. I put a link in every spot there is a picture. Have fun.

i wanted to offer any help you may need with maps or pictures- i have alot of old d&d and ad&d books/modules/dragon magazines... i think i have the isle of dread module somewhere and some d&d world modules too ...

 

[tjedge1]

Well, I could use a map of about 160-180x160-180. I need one of the known world. Arghis usually handles the map, he spent months on the World Map of Mystara and is now working on a bonus scenario, so I'm not sure if he started the knownworld map. Originally I wanted it to be a giga map, but I don't think it's necessary. Basically, it needs to include the area within most of Norwald form the north, Hule and the Savage Baronies in the West and just beyond Esterhold in the East and the Northern tip of Davania in the South, just enough of Davania for the Hinterlands and Kastelios. No need for city placement or roads or any of that. I'll take care of that. Just a clean map will do. I would prefer a 180x180 map to better detail the known world, if you could.

 

[tjedge1]

Just wanted to say that I think I'll make the map myself later, unless Arghis decides to do it. I'm almost done with the civilopedia links then I'm going to work on the scripts.txt. There's the update, and Happy Holidays to everyone!

 

[the_keyboard]

I swear I must be blind. I've been all over the firt two posts in this thread and the one in the other forums where the previews are, but I just can't find the link to download this mod. Could someone point me in the right direction, please?

 

[Arghis]

@ The Keyboard : The mod is to be finished, so you need to wait a bit

if someone wants to make a map, no prob, and in this case i can lay a hand if needed; if not i can do it. These times i'm just lurking here

happy holidays all

 

[tjedge1]

Not quite released yet, sorry "the keyboard." Working on text files at the moment, nearly everything else is done, except the scenarios. Those come once the mod is done. These threads are only preview threads. I'll open a new one when the mod is released.

@Arghis: No hurry on the map. Let me know if you start a map Arghis, so I don't start it at the same time. You maps are perfect so far. Same goes for anyone else who takes a crack at the map. No need to have 3 versions of the same thing.

 

[odintheking]

I remember that you said that you are waiting upon 2 units in order to finish ALL the units you need. I assumed that they are the gnoll and lizard musketmen. Now that the lizard musketman is done, I think that all you need is the Gnoll gunman, so I requested it in Kinboat's lottery. I implore everyone else to, as well, so that we have a better chance of winning so the mod can be that much closer to being finished.

 

[tjedge1]

No worries for that. Someone has picked it up already. They also spoke with Kinboat about it and his model of the Gnoll. I need to go ahead and pull the rewuest thread off my sig. Thank you though. At the moment, I'm trying to find the cause of a crash in the beta. It tells me nothing, just closes and goes to the Desktop. I'm going to open a thread asking about this sort of problem. I'm hoping someone will know something.
