Mod idea - Spoliers -

[Mystique]

I think it was SoS himself that came up with the idea. Check out page 2.


(Btw, 100 posts, cool!)

Not a clue if there's a PnP version of this sort of thing, I simply saw that the current version of the Wizard Slayer sucks ass, and so designed a Rebalanced version (what I quoted above is the first half of the Kit Description), and I also perceived the need for a foil for the Cowled Wizards. Then I combined the two and threw in Lord Argrim, who was already in the game, and viola, a neat and plausible background story for the Wizard Slayers' Guild. I'm not going to bother to check and see if there's already such an organization in FR lore or not, because I know that if there isn't, there should be. (Although if there is, I should at least make sure the names match.)

I'm pretty sure there is a PnP WS kit...but I don't have a 2nd Ed. Warrior's Handbook...so I couldn't tell you.

Surely a group oppossed to the CWs would contain magic users, as it is th CWs that are enforcing a ban against magic, thus they would want to overthrow the CWs, so that the ambsih government could no longer prevent its use?

There seems to a mod coming soon by G3 that includes another way: King of Amn. Maybe this will be good?

Ok, we have some ideas here, lets narrow them down. These are the ones that was kind of approved by people.


The Harpers

The Cowled wizzies

Wizard slayers guild

Also, i dont know if it was liked or not, but the Zhentarim seems really cool, although it is not a good aligned choice.

Now, if the Third way is starting up in January, why not make the weight on the shoulders of the people at Limbo a bit less.

I think we should vote, after all, if the people wants it, i think its kind of a good idea to do what they want, since they will be more happy, then if just a few groups of people decided what its going to be.

So, Harpers, Cowled ones, Wizzie slayer guild, (and maybe Zhentarim, but i want to leave that to some powerful guy like Six o spades)

Please tell me if i said something that is not right in here. I also think (if there is one) that someone a bit more known should handle the voting thing.

Well, I for one wouldnt be averse to having another way of getting to Spellhold. Personally I would love to go through the harpers.

And if anyone needs any help with the dialog and conversations then I would be more than happy to help.

While we here at Ironworks can certainly vote to see what people would most like to see as an alternate way of getting to Chapter 4, there's not really a whole lot we can do about it apart from reaching a decision. While we know a lot about the game and can come up with great suggestions and dialogue for mods, only a very few of us have any experience at all at modifying the game. I myself have done nothing more than make a few interesting items, and I don't even know enough WeiDU to make a self-executing installer--if I want to send the items to someone else, I have to Email them the ITM file and the Description separately, and then they have to use IEEP to merge the two back together.

In short, Ironworks is not a modding forum. Forgotten Wars and Gibberlings Three, however, are. When it comes to modding, we are the classic eunuch in a harem: We can observe and criticize, but we can't actually do it ourselves.

Wich is exactly what i said. The people at Limbo, may think its better for the people to decide wich way its going to be, instead of doing it themselves, and, perhaps chosing "wrong". After all, Lennon Cook said that the Limbo team would start working on the third way again, as soon as the site was up, in January, with the ideas he got from this thread.

Well, because this thread is all about having a GOOD ALIGNED alternative...

Bye bye CWs.

Potentially ixnay on the WSG.

Which leaves the harpers
