Thanks Dagon! As for the storyline...all we're saying right now is that your charcater starts the game unaware of who he is and the first part of the game is spent uncovering his past. Keeping the story arc (and game world history) secret is part of the intrigue; this secrecy is part of the story it...

Hey David, We're using a cross-platform language called BlitzMax for most of the development. Other than a few platform-specific oddities, the port will be a straight forward compile on the Mac side. We also have the option for a Linux port using this language, but we don't want to commit to that ju...

That's really the magic of computers...why "dumb down" or simplify a complex action such as "firing an arrow in combat" by reducing it to a couple of dice rolls? A computer really doesn't mind juggling 20 different modifiers and a few statistical table lookups, and then just spit...

I'll let Gamezalot answer for himself, but I don't know how often he checks the boards since we're not officially open yet...so...yes, he's part of the team. He's a good friend and tester who has contributed greatly during the early design process of the game, so we also call him one of our Design C...

A 1d20 roll gives a 5% increment of accuracy when you use it for percentile rolls, which is really what a ToHit roll is: what is the chance your attack will strike the enemy.

Well I guess it's only fair to give you people a small, private update since you were clever enough to your way here. Right now we're working on an interview with RPGVault which should give everyone a fresh look at what we've been doing recently...that'll be up on their site in a couple weeks and wi...

Welcome!

A hardy welcome to all who are visiting the Drunken Lizard Pub for the first time or the 50th time! The rules are lax here, so behave yourself and have fun. There's a big Q&A thread down in the Eschalon: Book I - General Game Chat forum, which is a good place to start if you want more info on ou...
