Adventurer's Guild August β€” Backlog Time!

Post by rusty_shackleford »

Complete one of these in August to get a RARE EXCLUSIVE TIME LIMITED BONUS BADGE in addition to the standard badge:
  • October: Shard of Spring
  • November: Ambermoon
  • (Christmas! No, you don't get a badge for completing Christmas!)
  • January: Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan
  • February: Hexx: Heresy of the Wizard
  • March: Starwind
  • April: Legends of Amberland: The Forgotten Crown
  • May: Crystals of Arborea
  • June: Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession
  • July: Dark Sun: Shattered Lands
I don't believe anyone has completed all of these, so if you've already completed all of these except one, you are also eligible for the RARE EXCLUSIVE TIME LIMITED BONUS BADGE for participating. :heart:

Prepare for the most brutal 5/10 of your life. It constantly come so close to greatness but always ends up falling flat. Some factions are brutally undercooked.
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

Gotta say, Starwind is rough as hell. First person has this weird camera problem where it feels like it locks onto certain angles making it choppy and unpleasant.
And the sound effects are atrocious. The Datapad have a beep that is loud no matter what you do and the enemies are loud and screechy while the dialogue is quiet but when you exit the window, their blurb is loud as ****.

Yeah I'm about halfway through the story... This mod would have been ******* awesome in the early or mid '00s but today? I appreciate the effort put into it but goddamn.

There should be a badge for uninstalling it.

As nobody completed any game this or the previous month(including myself, and while I intended to finish up Dark Sun I didn't find the time), I'll be retiring the Adventurer's Guild. Junior Adventurer's Guild is unaffected.
Thanks for the participation.

Anyone who still wants a badge can get it by completing any of the prior games.

@Tangerine
AG and JAG should have separate badges. So it's fair.
