Slim shady?

Break Many-Spires up into districts. That's what I did when I wrote about the Imperial City on my freewebs site years and years ago; site doesn't exist anymore.


I know Eberron broke its massive spire city of Sharn into various districts, too.

Yeah. Try not to tackle to much at once. It gets overwhelming and feels more like drudgery in the end.

I remember playing the game in the library one day and became genuinely upset because the character I named after my sister died of a snakebite. Spoiler, sister is still alive. I was very relieved. 

Lol! If I did take on this project, I'd definitely make it a bit more fair than Oregon Trail. That game was pure evil.

Yeah, Oregon Trail really is some kind of impossible. I could never get the hang of hunting, or anything really. XD

Pipe-weed (also known as Halflings' Leaf) is grown and enjoyed much by the hobbits of the Shire, to whom it was first introduced by Tobold Hornblower. Normally I wouldn't use the word 'Halfling' in a normal conversation, but this is far from a normal conversation Enjoy your linguistic expansion, I do the same, musically. I invented 2 new notes yesterday, I and J. So now I need a longer piano.

Hahaha longer piano. You've won the Internet.

Golly, Mama will be so proud.

Lol, I think the name might be a giveaway. The housing system sounds nice, sounds like its more part of the core experience. 

It totally is. Lording your wealth above the lowly peasants of the land is part of the experience. Lol. 


Open world, full loot PVP(Aside from what you have equipped) really makes it a great game for people who don't mind a bit of risk vs reward gameplay. There are safe zones for people who don't want to worry about getting murdered, and a crime system where you get flagged 20 minutes per kill as a criminal. You can be killed by anyone, even in safe zones and towns, without the guards interfering. I have a feeling when the game launches I'm going to end up permanently red, because I love PKing lol.

And since you've got to be online for your flag timer to count down, you can't just log out for a bit and wait. Kill enough people and that timer might as well never end.

It's nice to see someone else going out of their way to create cities with a personality. Far too many fantasy settings have boring locations. Most real settlements have a very long history, filled with all sorts of mysteries and things which give the place a soul.

In the process of creating the "perfect game," each aspect of the product should be taken account and given an equal amount of attention. This would include the storytelling, writing, graphical aspects, music, world creation, gameplay elements etc. etc. Realizing this is kind of daunting. I don't think I'll ever get there, personally, but I'm trying to get as close as its possible for me.

@Labyrinthine


Ashes of Angoroth is just a setting project for me, I won't be making it into an RPGM game. There's too much involved graphically for it to really turn out the way I envision it. I'll likely end up just writing a few books in the setting. My RPG Maker game is an entirely different project. I still like feedback though, so I post about my setting on here lol. 

Try being agoraphobic. And I live right off the highway and near a turnpike

Oh goodness. Poor soul. Black Friday has been a tremendous success, having caused only nine deaths and 102 reported bodily injuries at the hands of the animalistic consumer puppets. /sarcasm

Consumerism at its finest. People valuing cheap T.Vs over safety, order, and life.

I've got Notepad open on my other monitor just in case. Lol. But as the great Stephen King said, "A writer's notebook is the best way to immortalize bad ideas". 

I swear your community rep went up by 100 ever since you've started making status updates

Haha. I'm not sure why that is. I don't want to tout myself as amusing or anything. I have little to contribute to the community outside of advice on writing and game design. I'm not an artist, I can't code in Javascript, and I have no publicly available projects for people to critique because most of the games I've made over the last 14 years or so were insignificant works made solely for my own amusement.

It was meant to be DM style and to overcome the animation budget.

I'd know this if only I knew D&Ders. Anyways, it's useful to me as a writer as well.

Hehe. D&D rocks. So full, but I must write tonight. Replying on mobile, so short sentences lol.

Haven't played morrowind, didn't pick up elder scrolls until oblivion. Heard its beloved though. Definitely want your cities to be unique and different, especially between cities in different countries in-game.

Morrowind, at least to me, is the best in the series. It may be old, but it is truly timeless. A lot of people claim nostalgia is why Morrowind is so highly praised, but that isn't the case. There were those who hadn't played the game until after Skyrim came out, and they still gave Morrowind the accolades it deserves. Good games never die. 


Angoroth is unique in the sense that it has no countries. There is simply not enough land that can be safely lived upon to warrant the formation of larger national entities. City-states like Many-Spires do own dependent territories, but that's about it. War is uncommon, but it isn't foreign to the people of Angoroth. Fighting between opposing cities over natural resources, while difficult, is a major source of regional conflict. Most have chosen to broker a peace and trade with one another instead, but some factions have proven less cooperative than others. 

Reposted this, accidentally deleted it looking for the edit button. There isn't one. 

Oh and you need to update your website URL. 

Which is a problem, since I am too. Haha. I do most of my writing between 8:00PM and 3:00AM. 

Done. Lol. I tried to change it from my Android, I guess it didn't save.

Right. I managed to justify that since the name stems from human Old Tongue meaning "A Thousand Storms"  


I usually don't like nonsense names if they don't serve a purpose. I could have taken the easy way out and used a random name generator site but those names have no cohesion and zero consistency with one another. 

true saying mate. It's nice to use the "rule of cool" for naming sometime but it end up cliche fantasy like storm end, or orksbane (guilty of the last one...) read a bit on the aforementioned discussion, glad you dropped Angwel.


As it was a 3 am discussion you could have sang "you are my angwel, of the morning baby..."

 Lmao nooooooooooo

I see what I did there. Lmao. WAKE UP TOASTER. I have taken a lot of inspiration. That's what I meant to say.


I'm not writing today. Hahaha.

@BloodletterQ I can't wait for new resources to become available in the same style as the newer PVGames' stuff. Right now, there's not a lot to create any diverse or interesting settings; not outside of towns and woodlands, anyway. Though, I spoke with Jesse about the Alien Biomes pack, and he said it's due to be released as a free update for the sci-fi pack he made. Not sure when that will happen, but I'm looking forward to using those cool alien plants; they're more in tune with the strange world I've created.

Degica needs to hurry it up lol.
