| | OK, Batman and I have started work on a mod for Dungeon Siege 2! He asked to to tell you all that his NwN mod will be on the back burner for a while while we work on this mod.
Although DS2 isn't coming out until late 2004, Bats and I have started work on it and have gotten a few people to join our design team. We were wondering if any of you wanted to help out.
The mod follows a tech vs magic theme. Basically new technology is springing up in the world (which we will be creating from scratch), and there are several supporters, but the Church thinks technology is evil and that magic is the way to go. Big war ensues, etc. The plot is a lot more detailed than this but I won't go into it just yet... [ ]
So, we were wondering if anyone would like to help out! The main thing would be to do voiceovers for the characters, if any of you are interested. Also, if there are any artists out there you could draw some concept art, or if you are familiar with the DS engine you could do some level design. OK, thats just about it for now, thanks!

| | Unfortuneatly I can't access the last two or three PCG DVDs for some reason so I haven't got the DS toolkit installed yet. But as always I'd love to help out wherever I can.
P.S. this sound a bit like Arcanum. I keep getting told it is a great game but I've never got past character creation. Might load that up today...

| | OK, thanks Max. I've never actually played Arcanum but I think it follows the tech vs. magic theme also, but on a slightly different scale. That's more of industrial era - this is more of futuristic. Also the plots will be very different, so no worries there []

| | Update - Have come up with a name: 'Aegis Strand' (long plot story behind it)! Currently working on world map as well as concept art, models, and plot. And we're still looking for voice casting so if anyone is interested just give a yell [ ]

| | You are right MMQ, it do's sound like Arcanum. But trust me it ain't going to be nothing like that excellent RPG. (Do try and get past the character creation screen. The game is worth the effort). The storyline is completley different to that game and as Maikadal it is set more in the future, rather than an alternative Victorian time arc as in Arcanum. I am using at the moment as reference sources, D&D, Forgotten Realms, D20 Modern,Urban Arcana,Call of Cutullu and GammaWorld to pull ideas and storylines together from. Also remembering some of the best bits of the old SNES game Shadowrun which is one of the most under rated rpg's of all time. Hopefully when all the best bits of all these things are thrown together, distilled and left to ferment for a week, a good story should emerge.
Plus look out for some GS specific in jokes! (watch out Fluffy!)
Cheers
Batman

| | Yup, we're steadily working on it. Got the outlines of a website up at www.aegisstrand.tk. You can check out our map there, and some other stuff related to the mod. Also our preliminary models are being done, and Bats is working on a very nice plot outline that you guys might get []
At the mo we're desparately in need of artists, to do concepts for our modelers. Other than that we've started making levels in the DS1 editor and drawing out the plot scheme. Its going pretty well!
