The Lost Heir Trilogy

I am sorry. I have tried to resist the power of the pun but it is to strong.

The Lost Heir, to pay, or not to pay that is the question.

(Now please no one understand the joke and let me hide back under my rock).

Yup, I donā€™t get it. I assume itā€™s a reference.

wanders into this forum a month late, notices the pun and bangs head on the wall Oh that pun hurts :slight_smile:

I have to admit, I missed the joke the first time. But, reading it again, NOW I get it! :slight_smile:

Is it a Hamlet reference? I mean obviously it is, but I get the feeling that was just due to the fact that that line has become a general cliche no longer attached to itā€™s original characterā€¦

@Shoelip Itā€™s not a Hamlet reference. Itā€™s a hair joke.

Hmā€¦ nope, still donā€™t get it.

@Shoelip Heir is pronounced like hair. Another word for wig is toupee which is pronounced as to pay

I got the part about heirā€¦ although Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s pronounced like ā€œairā€. Didnā€™t get the part about toupee though. Good point. heh.

@Shoelip Got my pronunciations mixed up but yeah, the joke is about hair and wigs.

Oh, kind of sad that Kind/Mean are gone. I do think it added nuance to keep them separate from Good/Evil ā€“ everybody knows that thereā€™s such a thing as a polite villain and a jerkish hero.

I havenā€™t signed up for the beta so I have no idea what I am talking about, but if Nice/Mean was just about dialog disposition for the character I think Polite/Rude could fit in instead.

Itā€™ll probably affect actions, as Lucid is amazing in locking choices. I murdered a unicorn once and lost karma in one of his games.

Hi lucid,

First of all, Iā€™m a huge fan! Life of a mobster was one of my absolute favorite games and the my inspiration for creating a profile to work on my own games. As of now Iā€™m just reading as much as possible on the forum to really figure out how to go about creating my own game. I would love to beat test your newest work! How do I access it?

It was a difficult issue, but perhaos this simplicity is for the better.

Testing is over here: The Lost Heir: The Fall of Daria (Beta Testing Closed)

Thank you! Canā€™t wait to try it!

The beta test is now over! Now I have to get to work on Part 2!! :slight_smile:

Ah poop, I was just going to replay the beta today because I finally got a break from final papers. Oh well, Iā€™m glad that youā€™ve finished your masterpiece! (btws, Iā€™m the one that sent the super-long 8 page email lol)

And I really appreciated your feedback!

I kept track of who all of my 75 wonderful beta testers were. :slight_smile:

Bye the way (to all other beta testers) did anybody find all the magic gear. All I found where gloves of archery, cloak of the spider, the belt of speed and a gem to upgade perception. But I also know there a shield from the vendor guy.
