The no Drizzt clone pledge.

First of all I'd like to thank anybody who actually bothers to read this. Seriously, hi mom.

There are a couple things about my game and I'd like to say then in public so that I can't chicken out like a bitch later.

1:) There will be no Drizzt clones! Not even intentionally bad ones that die horrible deaths. Drizzt Do'Urden is a fascinating character when you FIRST encounter him but the anti-cliche quickly wears on you. I haven't played enough D&D to encounter the hated 'Drizzt Clone Syndrome' but many of you have so I won't bring back any bad memories.

No Good Drow. 2-3% that are Chaotic Neutral and that's (expletive deleted) pushing it.

2:) This is not simply a R.A Salvatore fan game. It goes without saying that any game that incorporates dark elves of any kind is going have to take Salvatore's work seriously but I'm not just blindly copying shit here.
The Drow in this game are actually closer those portrayed in The War of the Spider Queen series then the Dark Elf Trilogy and besides this game focuses on Half-Drow and I have an entire... well emerging culture for these people (or else I wouldn't have started this ridiculous project is the first place).

3:) I have pretty much no graphic or coding skillz. This much will become obvious should I actually get a download up. :P However I'm planning this game in a matter that makes best use of the skills I do have. Try to bear with me here I'm doing my damn best.

4:) There's a lot of drug humor in this game but I'll try to keep it under control and never use it in a way that's absolutely ridiculous. The major characters in this game are not a bunch of useless stoners but they do like to party (when they think it's safe.)

OK well that's it. I did a timed run through of what I do have done last night. Only took me twenty minutes of lame RTP adventuring but they haven't even got to the estate yet. I'll try to get an early alpha up once I have an hour's worth, probably three or four weeks irf all goes well .

Peace out.
