MAIA'S PROFILE

My name is not Maia, but instead it is something that I was dubbed on Don Migel's old forum for the first game that I showed off to the public. My generic name was changed into Maia, and since then I have been Maia. I am a girl, I am old compared to some other people, in fact for the majority of RPG Makers, I am twice their age.

I was born in Russia, and moved to America when I was a teenager, but not as an exchange student. Back in Russia, I am a published author and I have written two dozen books. One dozen of which have been published.

Pick your party vs Pick up your party

I have made games where you are allowed to totally deviate from the main story. People saw it as unstructured busy work :-)

Pick your party vs Pick up your party

People want stereotypes. It feels familiar, and if people hated stereotypes, then the Simpsons would not be running 20 years later.

Pick your party vs Pick up your party

Necromancer = raises the dead

Corpsefucker = desecrates the bodies of the dead

You have limited imagination. I am sure there is some wizard out there with a dead wife that wants to bring her back to life. Her and only her. Just do not have a necromancer as a class.

Pick your party vs Pick up your party

Wait wait wait...

So if you pick your characters, you do not get personalities with them?

Why can't character A be a badass?

Why can't character B be the caring one?

Why can't character C be the lady charmer?

Why can't character D always be the hungry comic relief?

Pick your party of 4 characters

Taylor Watson
Nurse

Mary Ford
Bard

They all want to be famous the world over for their art. However, the current famed musician is trancing people under his singing spell.

Pick your party of 4 characters

With this being a RPG forum... Tell me one and all. Who are the 4 characters in your party. What are their classes? What do they all have in common and what is their purpose? This is a post to get your creative juices flowing.

What is the movie of the year?

The Hangover. It made me laugh more than Star Trek and Star Trek shouldn't have made me laugh.

What is the best thing about being a woman?

If anyone says "boobs" (or synonyms) they will be instantly banned.


I lack anything that looks like boobs.

There is no best thing in my opinion. There are few good things, but perhaps I am bleak.

Pick your party vs Pick up your party

Hopefully this has not been asked several times, but I think it could spark some good conversation.

Which system do you prefer? RPGs that you pick your party from classes or RPGs that have a set list of characters that you find along the way?

RPGs that allow you to create your own party from selectable classes have an infinite replay possibility, but this could make the game tough to test if not very uneven to play.

RPGs that have a set list of characters make the game easier to pick up and play, test, but they do not offer the replay possibility unless you make secret characters.

Which system do you prefer?

Action RPGs

The poster is right about ARPGs. People just think their games are action oriented :-D
