The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Who knew you could make this so exciting as a mere thief? I for one look forward to seeing what happens to Zuuk's filthy tableware. And Zuuk of course.
This is roughly what I've covered in the past week and half: the first 15 minutes of a 20 to 30 hour game (approximately). I'm not suggesting that I want to abandon the LP, but I'm leaning heavily towards video now that I have an idea how long it's going to take to actually complete it. Obviously, with video, you all will get to see (and hear) the game in action, and it more accurately captures, in my opinion, one of the strong points of the game, its atmosphere. I just don't feel like I'm doing the game justice with my current quasi narrative approach.
Don't take this to be representative of the type of quality I would expect to put out either. I just threw this together to illustrate a point. So I ask: would you all be opposed if I adopted the video approach, or would you prefer I continue with the screenshot/text?
I'd say go with video, I love screenshot LP's but some games simply fit better into the video LP category. This way you might be done before the year ends :P
