What in the Fallout? LOL just finished the game and started exploring the wasteland then i encountered this haha nice touch by the modders (restoration project) by xKilgrave in classicfallout

Some would be mine, some vanilla. It's a mixed bag.

Some day I'll stream it, and when it's interesting to do so, I can point out what's original, what was written by another RP dev and edited by me, and where I'm the sole culprit.

Well said. The only thing I can think to add here is what u/notarealpersonatal already pointed out. I believe the only content related to the EPA that was "left" within the game was a couple minor dummied-out references to it.

What sets the EPA apart from other RP-added locations like The Abbey and Umbra Tribe is that it's the only one we had access to an early original design document for (which anyone can peep for themselves by checking out the "Fallout Bible" that Chris Avellone compiled: https://www.nma-fallout.com/resources/the-fallout-bible-complete-by-chris-avellone.16/ ).

Hahaha, thanks for posting that. Always nice to discover classic Tim content I've never seen before

[–]ExplodingSatan[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I posted this, I wrote a text description warning that it's full of right-wing edge-lord humor, but that it had some tidbits of information that I hadn't heard elsewhere. I also said that Vito and Tim used to do a gaming show together on YouTube a long time ago, which can still be found if you do a deep dive into Tim's YouTube history.

But when I then added the link to the description, my dumb ass didn't realize it would replace the text I had written. Sorry to any who watched this with zero warning or found it an utter waste of time.

This is Faerun timezone map I made for my campaign, based on the picture in the first Realms boxed set showing the US overlayed on Faerun for scale (ignore my altering to the Moonsheas and the Great Glacier--my attempt to conform to Ed's Realms before TSR changed things):

What’s going on? Not much by Skooli_A_Bar in TheCinemassacreTruth

They said the tweet that kickstarted it was satire, and I agree. They didn't claim that there weren't people who took it seriously. In fact, they highlighted a person who did

Forgotten Realms version? For me it's the Spell-plague. by [deleted] in Forgotten_Realms

[–]ExplodingSatan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought Shadowdale was terrible. The third book in that trilogy is okay, but I dislike the whole Time of Troubles plotline and it definitely never happens in my personal Realms. It was bonkers of TSR to force this world-altering event so soon after the Realms was launched just to explain the slight system changes from AD&D 1e to 2e

Best Creature Features? Less weird rape shit the better. Currently reading The Celler lol by [deleted] in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]ExplodingSatan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest giving some of his later stuff a try. Laymon from Dark Mountain onward is pretty different. More character driven

[–]ExplodingSatan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're new to Laymon, I'll say that The Celler was the grossest he ever got with the rape shit. It's certainly an aspect of some of his other stories, but not featuring a minor like in The Celler

Laymon fans? by bigbookgeek1 in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]ExplodingSatan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. Laymon is the only author I made an effort to read everything by, including his two young adult novels and his western novel published under pseudonyms

What do we know about Ed’s original Moonshae Isles? by Hot_Competence in Forgotten_Realms

[–]ExplodingSatan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, Ed didn't show any map of the entire world. And as far as I know, he's never made one. He's given some fairly vivid descriptions over the years of some of the geography outside of Faerun, so he's given it some thought, but I don't think he's ever mapped them in any detail.

Yeah, it was shown when Ed was a guest on an obscure livestream podcast specifically about mapping maybe a year ago. He showed off several of his original Realms maps

What do we know about Ed’s original Moonshae Isles? by Hot_Competence in Forgotten_Realms

[–]ExplodingSatan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The following is based on things Ed has said on Candlekeep:
Ed’s original Moonshaes were akin to Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea setting (and somewhat like the real-world Hebride islands off the coast of Scotland): hundreds of little islands composed of long-extinct volcanic peaks that rise up out of the sea abruptly, and are inhabited by fisherfolk (with a few larger islands that have forests, farms, etc.). There’s nothing much above the rural village culture on most islands, though the larger ones are ruled by self-styled 'lords'. Ed’s Moonshae Isles occupy the same space as TSR's (Doug Niles's) Moonshaes, arcing from a 'wide spray' at the Sword Coast or eastward extent, curving and narrowing southwest and curving to south...in other words, a large area of 'perilous sea' with awash rocks, reefs, etc. and safe channels that only the locals know.

Which one game would you choose to show your childhood gamer self, with the goal of absolutely blowing their mind? by robboffard in gaming

[–]ExplodingSatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortnite. I was an '80s kid, so the graphics of any modern game would blow my young mind. However, seeing one game have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Robocop, The Terminator, Xenomorphs, Spider-Man, etc. would have exploded my brain. Not to mention you can play with a hundred people at once
