I eat your face
The world "Artila" caught my eye while scrolling through the forum a couple of days ago. Oh cool, a Geneforge LP? And written by a 'domer too!

Now I'm all caught up and you've just passed the furthest I've ever got in this game - not for lack of will, but because it mysteriously seems to eat my saves whenever I leave off playing for a few months :mad: So I will be following this keenly.

Really enjoying the writing so far, OP. If you get the opportunity to name some tanky creation "Maugrim" I'll be very happy.

Absorb.

Getting too attached to one's creations is yet another sign that we are not cut out to be a true Shaper. It is important to maintain the correct emotional distance.

And move down the names list faster.

Good ole' magical radiation.

Guess we know why half of the island is a wasteland now :downs:

Actually, we found out in the previous update that half the island is a wasteland because of the Shaper ancestors' uncontrolled, haphazard shaping attempts. I get the impression the South Workshop just compounds this, stacking poison on existing poison in a more local area.

drat, since I couldn't be a Cryoa I was hoping my Glaahk self would at least stay alive a while. There's a reason I didn't vote for these crypts :v:

Ooh, this continued! And now I am caught up again. Pool Is Closed, thank you and congratulations for finishing the whole drat game. Having read this I'm really keen to see more from the same series; I mean, I do own the games, but a small, demanding child ensures I will never have time to do them justice.

In the meantime, very much looking forward to the Geneforge ending, which I would have voted for.

P.S. to a Brit, the claim that "Glaahk" could ever be pronounced like "Glock" is bizarre.

I know I'll regret this, but how do brits pronounce "glaahk"?

Pretty much as Americans do. The more pertinent question would be how we pronounce "Glock" (with a very short o that afaik doesn't really exist in US speech - pronunciation example here https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/glock )

Just finished reading the LP and drat... Pool, you're doing the Lord's work.

I own almost all of Spider Software's games, and I've played a handful of them for a few hours. It was so great to see this one get played through to completion, and even going as far as to show off the other endings! Truly masterful.

Looking forward with great anticipation to the next LP.

The next LP has begun and is linked in one of PIC's earlier posts in case you missed that!
