Wizards rule!

I just finished testing part 1 with a wizard. Before this I have always used a fighter. I expected a wizard to not last that long, but actually it was way easier. Part of this is the 'Sleep' spell, this is because the mod is set for low-level characters, and using Sleep, you can kind of wade right through low-level monsters.

For now, I am quite happy with the result. Can´t wait to get to work on part 2!

Part 1 almost done

So, I've almost finished part 1 of my new four part mod. The function of this bit is to establish the main characters and the context of the storyline. It all runs, but I'll need to do some tweaking to adjust the balance. I guess I have a tendency to make the encounters too difficult.

Another thing I'll have to do is test it with a couple of classes, I've only tested it with a fighter until now. It might be that I'll have to tweak some more after that.

And then: towards part 2! I have some ideas of adding content from my last mod that I didn't publish but is still usable.

Good news and bad news

I am still modding. Last year I was very busy for a while, but not in a bad way. Didn't have a lot of time to finish the mod I was working on. Now, I had been working on that mod for a long time and I think it had some pretty good aspects. But after things started to settle down a bit in my day-to-day life, I just didn't have any inspiration to wrap it up. Not that I didn't have any ideas, they were just not suited to the mod. Not that particular mod.

So I wasn't having fun working on it. And since I do this to have fun, I decided to cancel that project and start a new one. I know it seems half-assed to quit working on a project that is almost finished, and maybe it is, but it was becoming a chore and there are already plenty of those in my life.

The mod I'm working on right now will be consisting of four acts, and will be set in the Silver Marches. The mod will start out near Jalanthar, and Jalanthar will be in big trouble. There will be four companions, and they're all mandatory for story purposes. I've tried the pick-and-choose method in my newly cancelled mod, and I just didn't like the fact that you can't really flesh out your NPCs that well in the limited time I can give to any mod.

Why four acts? Well, this mod will focus on the coming of age of a villain, and I for this individual I had four stages in my head - changing his morals a bit every time the story advances.

The title of this mod will be "Mara's Pride".
