Events in real life, good and bad (mostly good) have been keeping me away. Nothing is guaranteed, but things seem to be slowing down now, and I hope to be around sporadically between now and the end of the year.

I'd like to thank whoever put in the merchant who sells colored scabbards/weapon loops. It's a small thing, but awesome for those of us who are over-obsessed with color schemes.

Tuesday is my one free evening next week, but I'll be at work 3-4 hours past that time. I need to move east...

Cool ideas for language scrambling: 1) Simplify the language spoken based on skill level, ie convert: Excuse me, sir, but I would like to purchase your finest short blade to: Me want shortsword This would be really awesome, though from experience I can tell you that it would also be really hard. So...

There are a lot of books that deal with a specific faith, region, etc., but are not sold by anyone in the corresponding areas (mainly temples). I'd be interested in going through the publishing houses's catalog and sorting it appropriately (either IC as Ormud or just offline). It seems like a good p...

It looks as if I'm going to be working this weekend. However, this is going ahead anyway, with some gracious help from upstairs!

Hi! It's been a while since we've had one of these. I suggest we have another at this time, in the Berdusk concert hall as usual.

Performances of all types are invited. Contact me in game if you'd like to perform.

The zMUD download link on the getting started page (http://www.forgottenkingdoms.org/gettingstarted.php) is broken.

One of my PCs has an amulet with "affecttwo". On wearing it, immunity to disease shows up in his resistances.

Unfortunately I'm spending most of this month on the road (including next weekend).

A way to change the text size would be nice -- I find myself squinting at the screen when I use FANG, but besides that I've found it really fantastic.

Not many clear patterns yet, but word of mouth seems to be a great way to introduce people to the game.

How can FK appeal to more people and increase the number of players currently playing, while also luring back old players and encouraging existing players to keep playing? If I could wave a magic wand and change ONE thing, I'd instantly increase the player base to the point that there were 50 to 75...

It turns out to be naturally yellow, at least if you harvest it from this particular species of spider:

... wow. All I can say is, thanks!

Whenever I have candy that comes in many colors (M&Ms, jelly beans, etc.) I pick out one of each color to make a set, eat that set, and then repeat.

Like Grenwyn, I drive exactly the speed limit, and like Jaenoic I count stairs everywhere.

Do you mean every RL year from character creation, or every in-game year? I'm guessing RL (which I agree would be pretty cool) since every in-game year would get kind of out of control.

Here's a suggestion (possibly what Tyson was getting at). Suppose that upon joining a guild, you got a fixed number of "talent points," something like this: Guild Talent points -------------- -------------------- Fighters 7 weapons 7 combat skills 2 non-combat skills 2 trades Enchanters 18...

Room names in bold, mob names (some of them edited) in italics. Feedback welcome, especially since this feels like it would take up a huge area and not be compact enough to fit into Waterdeep. Field of Triumph The buildings on either side of the street abruptly give way to an open, grassy field. A b...
