A minor update here, but a project that has taken up much of my time...

I have been working on mapping the universe for this "storyline" which I may just turn into an online graphic novel or whatever the hell they are called. Its quite a large project but I'm making progress on it. Even though I originally planned on creating a script to keep records of this information, I just may keep it all as static HTML files. You can see the progress of this project at here. Be sure to click that map and see the main scope of the project in its original size. 2000x1700. At present, most of my time has been spent between this project, and work as I'm trying to keep this map relatively scaled.

Also during the mapping, I managed to find old childhood movies and despite how much I dislike writing or working off someone else's work I have added a crossover section of the world of "The Dark Crystal". I have written a short tie-in story that takes place almost 1000 years after the movie in which the poor Gelflings are once again visited by 2 alien species. Reniacs & Phayons. This tie in story "The Crystal Anomaly" as well as technical stuff for their world can be seen on their overview page. Their storyline has no ties to the main story present within 2 The Xtreme universe as it only exists strictly as an "addon". Gelflings have also been added to the Races Database on site.

I'd also like to take this time to wish everyone...

A Happy Thanksgiving

And if you dont like it,
DEAL WITH IT

We finally play tested my preliminary house-rules for the werewolf based 2 The Xtreme game. The 4 hour session went by with very few hitches, and overall I would consider it a success.

2 The Xtreme was tested by using a Werewolf: The Apocolypse character to see how well much of it fit within this sci-fi type game.. Though there needs to be some changes done, the character actually fit into an existing session well.

The main task at hand now is creating the source data as well as the data on the 2 The Xtreme related creatures, abilities, and skills.

The first stage is over. 2 The Xtreme is very playable at a fairly decent speed using the Werewolf Die pool based system. Documentation, and balancing are the order of business now.

The site is now mostly back online. Downloads, characters, everything thats linked should mostly work.

If you havent already, read the top of the home page... It mentionns several important things.

Hell, fuck it you're probably being lazy and wont read it there anyway, so here it is...

• This site is becoming strictly RPG oriented, specifically to my RPG game which will use the Werewolf : The Apocolypse Core rules. It is a die pool based system using 10 sided dice. The storyline on here as well as additional items will not be g-rated like it was before for the most part.
• People and creatures will be killed. Life is cheap, supply exceeds demand.
• People will be oppressed.
• Children will be murdered and scraped across blades as readily as adults.
• The end is near...
• The Forums have been cleared out. The PHP-Nuke forum is gone.
• Members List has been pruned. If you were not subscribed to the newsletter, your account is gone.
• Downloads have changed...

Ok, here we go...

Just going to let you all know I'm presently working on a much larger project for a local fishing tournament so most if not all of my spare programming time has been spent on doing a from-scratch fishing tournament site. So, some of this will progress slower than I had hoped. Of course I dont like doing shit in order so I do things as they need to be done. I'm going to discuss the various phases that are planned for this site.

Phase 1 : Content Upddate
I've started the content migration. Many of the pages have been updated. The content found is purely from the point of view from the in-person version of 2 The Xtreme. The data will also adhire to the magic system rewrite as well as some storyline modifications. Remember, the online version of 2 The Xtreme is being taken out back and shot like the displaced red-headed stepchild it is.

If anyone is interested in playing 2 The Xtreme, you can still play it but expect a non-mainstream, dark experience. Also, as an added twist, your session will run concurrently to main in-person campaign that is running.

Phase 2 : RPG Related Site Changes
There are some goodies here on the site that have been running for a few weeks now.I mentioned them earlier this month, but they were still kind of in the beta stage. There is now a STORE you can use to buy stuff for your characters. Be sure to CREATE A CHARACTER (See here for documentation on this application) and keep an eye on when the BANK opens up, so you can get some cash to spend. All new characters will be given 50,000 credits to start with. When this fishing site is done, you will be able to equip these items to your characters. The site will also be able to print out in-person battle tested character, inventory & magic sheets.

Phase 3 : Membership & Users Changes
Downloads will only be available if someone views some ads first. Its a necessity with all the bandwith downloaders are sucking, and I'm losing traffic strictly to downloaders. Registered users will be able to browse the files without ads. Also, the mmbers list will be GREATLY cleaned up. Afterwards, accounts will be subject to the following limitations.

• Any accounts that havent returned within 180 days will go bye-bye unless if they are subscribed to the newsletter.
• If someone registers, and only downloads files and doesnt do anything else with the account, it will go bye-bye during the probation period.
• Any other accounts after the clearing that are inactive for 6, and 9 months will be emailed a notice if inactivity.
  • If there is no considerable account activity by 360 days, the account will get axed and added to the Rogue Admin killfile.

Any comments, ideas, &suggestions can be placed here.
