BinaryDoubts: Jun 6, 2013; Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.

I've been running a more heroic fantasy-style campaign with it and have had zero problems stripping out the DARK and EDGY stuff. Insanity and Corruption are easily ignored, and aside from the general deadliness of low levels, there's nothing in the game that really enforces the dark tone.

Some of those sound pretty cool. Shadow of the Mad Wizard remains utterly insipid as a name.

It's in keeping with how lame the main game's title is. Shame that Shadow of the Four Towers or any of the other titles didn't win out, though.
