Well I am Sword, otherwise known as Peter. I've always loved role playing and science fiction. I guess I have a rich imagination. One of my goals for next year is to write a sci fi short story and see if I can get published. I will be looking for a creative writing course I can do in a night college. I joined and have been made a staff member of the board because I was asked by Conqueror. I've been working on a Fallout mod for a WW2 strategy game called Hearts of Iron 2 for the last year. Conqueror has been active with that mod and we have all been playing it multiplayer for quite a few weeks now. We play most Sundays. The Fallout series of computer games was always one of my favourites. I really enjoyed FO1 FO2 and I even enjoyed FOT, though I haven't played that last one much. I love the future post apocalyptic setting, I love the science fiction, I love the quirkiness of the background with it's retro 1950's feel, and I love the embedded humour in the games. I started role playing in my teens nearly 20 years ago and have had many fun times with it. With some imagination, a good creative GM and interesting characters that are role played like an actor would play a character, you can create a story as good as any movie or book. But better in one way in that you are part of it and are helping to create the story as you go along. The link to our forum for this mod is: terranova.dk/index.php?c=5. Hearts of Iron is a great strategy game on WW2. The HOI2 game is about running nations, researching technologies, running an economy with industry and resources, building units, and waging wars though you can be peaceful if you want. Fallout's Doomsday mod is a complete conversion of the normal game to Fallout. The map covers all of North America including a few islands and down to Central America. It is based on FO1 and FO2, with some careful elements from FOT. Material is also taken from the Fallout Bible and the Van Buren design documents (VB is the FO3 game that was planned but never made). The mod overall stays true to the Fallout background but new material is also added. Especially in areas like the north which was never covered in the original games. You basically take control of a nation state like New Reno, The Huns, Vault City, Brotherhood of Steel, NCR, Shi Empire to take it to glory. There are more nations too, like: Canada, Louisiana, Texas, Mexican Raiders, Caesar's Legion, and more. And don't worry, the Enclave still exists in their secret bases up in Alaska, if you want to play a high tech evil nation. To fit the strategic game of HOI2, we had to decide that the mod world had more people in it than you ever saw in FO2. So there are more towns and settlements than in the original role playing games. Those early games had technical limits. And so a big city like Vault City or NCR would be shown with a few screens. In the Bible, it was noted that these places are supposed to be much larger than that. They simply could not show more than that for a simply role playing game. So in the mod, there are emerging nations with tens of thousands of people (and mutants and ghouls, of course) living there, if not more. 167 years after the Bomb was dropped, new nation states are emerging in the Wastelands, ready to bring a new order to the world that shattered by Atomic war. The mod is at Beta-02 but Beta-03 is being worked on and will be released within weeks. There is pre-release Beta-03 version available already. Despite being called a Beta, the game is very polished, stable and importantly, play balanced and fun to play. You will get a great strategic challenge from it. Plus there is plenty of cool events, storyline content, fun pop culture references, cool graphics, and Fallout style humour in it. If you like strategy games and you like Fallout, or even if you just like sci fi, you can't go wrong by trying the mod out. Cheers, Sword

Post by Slaughter on Jul 30, 2008 4:54:41 GMT
About me, well... I am Slaughter, also know as Slaughter_Manslaught, Red Slaughter, The Red Slaughter, The Slaughter and Slaughter_The_Great and many alike names in the net.
I'm a big Sci-Fi fan, specially Post-Apocalyptic fiction, which gets special interest from me. I'm a Fallout Fan since the early 2000s, when I met the Fallout series and BANG, I was instantly smitten by this great RPG.
I joined the board after being invited by The Conqueror.
I'm mainly a computer player, although I also like rolepaying, I rarely have opportunities to roleplay somewhere.
I also have a very imaginative mind. My main strength and weakness. My weakness is that I rarely finish what I start and I have to way to make my imagination into something more solid.

Name's Zanaras, or Zan, otherwise known as Kagurati (if you ever visited the old CheatPlanet, I moderated a couple forums there under that name). I'll respond to Zan, Zanaras, Kag, Kagurati, or Andrew (my IRL name). Got here by following the website link a friend of mine displayed on their BM profile. I've roleplayed for maybe a decade now, usually what might be described a freestyle written roleplays. If that makes any sense, let me know. I'm good with computers, have to be for my job, and was before I got this job. Have a lot of computer games too, and it all started with WarCraft. The original WarCraft. StarCraft is still, arguably, my all-time fav though. For anyone who can put up with text based web games and likes the opportunity to roleplay in a semi-realistic medieval environment in just text, try BattleMaster ( www.battlemaster.org ). Are we allowed to advertise a game that the admin plays? I mean, it's how I found this place . . . I also currently finance a general forum that a friend of mine runs. It's got about 6 active, dedicated members.

Great, can't say we have much to do around here guy but still you're welcome ;D I'm rejoiced to know its you, Kagurati and the Tian family are just great even though I think we had less character meetings lately As for the avertising, I'll pretend I didn't notice it and leave the link there, I was thinking on making an allowed advertise page myself and not including BM in the list would be worse than suicide, BM isn't just a game after all Anyway, feel free to make an RP somewhere or join my latest Colonist campaign that is almost launching, we don't have many members nor I am I doing any sort of advertising other than placing links on sigs and account details but they're very nice people and excellent Roleplayers And once more welcome aboard!

Post by Daimion on May 8, 2009 0:57:51 GMT
Ello. I am Daimion, also known as... uh... Daimion... XD I love to RP but I'm kinda slow when it comes to games with stats. I'm engaged to the most amazing person in the world (my fiance - duh) and I'm a photography student with a nack for singing, writing, and painting if I'm in a real artsy mood. But all of that is not important! There are more pressing matters at hand. I am about to reveal to you all a deep, dark secret that will baffle your minds and have you staring at my post for hours. (or at least a few minutes) Okay, you guys ready? Everyone sitting down? If you're drinking or eating something, hurry up and swallow. Don't worry, I'll wait. ... ... ... Everyone good? No milk will come shooting out your nose? No food bits are gonna get stuck under your keyboard? Good? Awesome! Here we go! For the first time in the history of... this forum... There has been - leaving post and soon to be RPing amungst you - A girl. A woman to be perciss. That's right - I'm a girl. ... Doesn't that make you all so happy? There's a girl on the forum! I'll tell you all now that I REFUSE to post nuddie pictures. But I can post a self portrait I shout for school if you need proof of my femininity. Anyway - thanks for your time! I can't wait to get an RPG started (or join one in progress) Later Days! (oh ya - I live in Canada so I guess I should have added an 'Eh!" to the end of that... Lawls) THE END!!

The other forum I visit has two females. Their admin is one of them. I'd be dating her right now if she wasn't like anti-dating. It's complicated. I know a Canadian. He's a writer. Also plays BM. Also at the other forum I visit. I showed him that place.

I am Tedronai, called sometimes Ishamael, Ba'alzamon, and Moridin, would-be Nae'bliss, counterpoint to the Dragon, slayer of the Serpent, and destroyer of all that is good.
Cower and quake, for I walk amongst you.
Wail and beg, for I will show no mercy.
... ... ...
That's quite enough of the begging for now, it becomes grating on the nerves after a time. You may stop.
You may thank Daimion for guiding me to this land, so rich for the reaping.
Now, then, where be the entertainments?
