So I woke up with the craziest idea this morning but its the best one I had in a long time. Most of us have come to terms with Shade as a dying game, so heres an idea: why not create our OWN game. Its not has hard as one may think. I have enough knowledge of scripts and programming languages to get by on. All we would need to find is a good game hosting site. I'm thinking text is probably best. What do you all think about this? Please leave your comments and ideas!

If it does sound like a good plan we'll need everything from storyline writers, to moderators, to script writers. If you have a skill please let me know.

You guys up for a BarnAssociated LotGD? Me and my crew have set up one if ya want the link. But A whole new storyline would rock, The Divine Undine, Gaeana assassinated by her daughter Pangeala upon oders from her corrupt father Hominidan in a fit of realization and tragic guilt kills her father and scatters his ashes all over the lands, the ashes become different races of beings, the Skaltiles, the Ornithgens, the Sectinras, the Thermaglobins and the Specterthrites. Each race vies for dominance over the sphere of the corpus of the ancient grand Undine by trying to gather the 4 sacred Elemantles! The Gnomenclature, the Undinero, the Salamandate & the Sylphylactery. But vile monsters impede their journeys Hominidan has enforced his will from beyond the Ether to create the Humans! These vile amoral gibbering hissing honking clicking skin covered violent weaklings have discovered magic and metallurgy and now seek power of their own, will nature win out over these corrupt lifeforms or will Hominidan's final legacy finally claim full dominion over Gaeana's mind body and soul. Fight the fearsome, collect the mighty, treasure the powers, and find your destiny in godhood over the new era.

It is the future, your planet is on a cllision course with 3 others, oddly their twins, and eventually discovered to be mirror image dimensional counterparts, pick a world to start out on, Apocalypso is dead set on fulfilling the fatal collision, Neroid doesn't care, Militerra wants to conquer the other 3, and Nobilytta wants to save all 4 from destruction. Time has paused mysteriously allowing a few lucky souls to inhabit bodies of any of the 4 earths, and enact their own mysterious agendas. Use Gravitows, Solarrestors, Precibatons and other exotic weaponry to gain ground, territory, power, charisma and say over how fate handles this fatal dimensional fourway.

Sure. Put out the link. I was thinking of using the classic dice system from Dungeons and Dragons & Nethack to caculate values and such. I'm looking for a cheap game host site. I think this is a good idea that'll make for a fun project.

"By request? logd.constantintilople.com/referral.php?r=Metaphorm and if that don't work or you don't wanna empower that darn Meta therefore inflating his ginormous egantic head already past ludicrous levels lol logd.constantintilople.com/ is the link for you! I also rediscovered my Dragonpedia Wikia link and I can't make heads or modules outta it. It's very informative for coders though. Ironic how I can know everying while On the internet but nothing About the internet lol." Note the site is moderated, as are all my sites, so if it's trouble you bring then your time it's wasting. But if you come as friends, we hope the fun never ends. It's the basic spartan logd setup, but once you find your groove, it can do nothing but improve. That name BarnCat is set as a pampered pet. He's not really Grimm, but he's a damn site betta than that tosser Slyth is our own Lord Meta.

Agrajag and Aqrn, close buddies of mine are open to ideas and input but not made of time, I'm hoping to elbow them into making me a mod there to lighten their load, Koko - Raiven - Sid are there as well. We lost Matrix somewhere a game or two back lol and Trik even further back, who knows where Chico landed.

Raom around a little if ya want, I'm heading to bed but am open to questions when log into there tonight. I strive to be a tad more effective than feedback, without the bias lol PvP can be enabled or disabled, depending on individual preference I'd probably wait a few levels as there is no Known pvp level limit emplaced there yet. Watch out for Koko, he'll prank dart you and have ya farting violently or talking colorfully. Some of the antics we've been up to are on all the logd threads here on KE to give you an idea of what various custom servers have offered adn differd.

Koko has started a clan called KhaoS, my representation there is in Caste, kinda an Admin group, for now me and my fellow in charge at large lol TypeCastle staffers are in our KoS ThG Adm type of gruop. Our Can war module might not be in place yet cLan war I meant but when it is I plan to run it like a totally chaotic fun competitive non open ended update of sorts. I'll see what can be done t increase the Custom goodies too, it increases the ability of a player to update and spice up their own game, lends a sense of ownership lol. might devote my next dk cycle to building soem dwellings in soem towns that players can purchase. }sorry shoddy typing but those hyper emoticons at the bottom of my screen make the back space go tortuously slow.{

I'm finding myself wrapping up characters on UrbanDead and Vampires to make more time for expanding my territories so to speak. BarnCat & Co's very own LotGD has died down alot, me and Koko are the most active, and I'm working on setting up real estates for folks to buy, devoting myself to mining and saving. That mobile Weapon LOGD you mentioned Matrix? It rocks lol. The MECHanics lol are very similar to a full custom LOGD but instead of Steeds you have Vehicles, pets are repair drones, and I have yet to still fully explore it as I got squashed quick and now am roaming the scrapyard battling stuff for scrap metal favor to take to Engineer Ramius or something like that lol. It's fun. I'm curious would Our Own Game also be like moving around as one clan from place to place conquering on other's servers, or just setting up one central server. There's alot of "heyplaythisgameI'mhere" and "lookhere'sthisgamecomeplayhere" and we're scattered lol. Same with forums, if each of us had a game and forum it'd be overwhelming. says the cat with a game and a forum btw "comevisitmysiteit'scool" lol.

Forgot to add in, Crisis? If you're good with Php, can download Zip files? Sourceforge.Net has a game or two, one called World of Phaos a text based RPG. I'm not sure if they're multiplayer and as it's free the quality won't be that hot and you won't be able to make a profit off it. I looked into that and a few others when looking for a sister gamesite to link to my main community, like how Shade and Cgshade are now, {at least supposed to be lol supplementing eachother}, A cuople others just look like monster battle encounter engines, with a skeletal plotline to them, but as they're also code you can customise. Think they were called Monsterfight or Monstersfight and Knightbattle, if interested I'll pull those up too, just don't wanna overwhelm lol.

I can't do much with .zip folders from my psp but I'm almost done with the modifications to my home computer and should have it back soon.
There is a great game I'd like you all to try. It is the oldest and most difficult pc game to date. Seriously Bill Gates still haven't beat it. Its not exactly an rpg but takes its roots from D&D. Since its release it has been rewritten several times, constantly making the game more difficult and interesting. Its called Nethack.

Here is the official link for the site. Most of the game info is here too but you won't understand any of it til you begin to play. www.nethack.org/And to play the game all you need to do is download a small .zip file and unzip it. Its a full version game not a demo. Just download based on your operating system and once unzipped click nethack and begin. www.nethack.org/v343/downloads.htmlI thought RAIVEN would like to know that Stormbringer is one of many useable items in the game.
