A Module I Might Make

Post by Agent of Dread »

So, I had this idea for a module after pf2222's return inspired me to make something for Egoboo again.

The module would be set in the forest, and the basic premise was that some Lumpkins had kidnapped a nearby princess of some sort. Then you'd have to get in there, save her, and escort her without her dying. You'd have to pick her up, and she'd occupy one hand to make it challenging, and the game would drop more Lumpkins in and pitch different challenges while you tried to get out.

But since the SVN is all over the place, and EgoMap is still as meh as ever, I dunno if I'll be motivated.

Sounds interesting. You should at least try to make it.

Extremely innovative and well-thought story premise. :P
No, but the gameplay twist seems quite interesting.

Also if you are a Healer or Valkyrie? :P

Birdsey has updated the old Cartman editor in the SVN, not sure how usable it is at the moment. (I never found old Cartman very easy to use!)

Maybe they're just open to experimentation. :D

I never viewed hitpoints as gender- or orientation-specific.

But would the princess be "open for experimentation" even if Valkyries and Healers are? :lol:


...for some reason I keep getting the mental image of princess Peach from Mario every time I read the word "princess". :|

Depends on the valkyrie/healer in question, I guess.

I wonder if there's somehow that you can spawn either a prince or princess depending on gender of the player.

And an easter egg with Elves... :lol: That could end up being a bit of a large dose of nightmare fuel, though. :rofl:

But yeah, um, if you're gonna make the module, it'd probably be awesome and scary for certain groups of people (people younger than 7, which probably there are none of (hopefully)).

But why would the Lumpkin(s) had kidnapped the princess? I mean, would've they planned to eat her or something else? :o

Princesses are tastier than normal elves.
