Mods with spoilers?
« on: January 04, 2013, 01:21:47 am »

Are there any mods with spoilers, by which I mean intentional things which aren't mentioned by the creator and must be found/encountered by the players alone?

If you play a mod without viewing it's thread or it's manuals, you're bound to be pleasantly surprised one way or another. I personally found Legend of Forlorn Realms mod to be full of spoiler-ish stuff that the mod creator intentionally didn't talk much about.

Both Legends of forlorn Realms and Masterwork has those... other mods probably too, in different degrees.

Valkdu's Rampage Edition is one big spoiler.

You get strange castes with odd descriptions about tentacles and bat wings and stuff and have no idea what they are or what they do.
You pretty much have to guess if the unit you are about to attack is a rampaging murderhouse or the lovecraftian equivalent of a fluffy bunny.

I don't know about unicorns, but back in .95, one of my PA soldiers was diagnosed with power armor. I drew a fairly good picture about it, but my science project (a bunny) pissed all over it.

LFR's a really good one.

Fortbent has quite a few, but if you don't read Homestuck it'll probably be confusing as hell.

My SCP mod is made up almost entirely of them.

Just wondering, Putnam, but is your SCP mod is related to the SCP-Containment horror survival game?

I believe it's based not off the game, but rather off the same list of wiki stories that the game is based on and can be found here.

I've read that entire wiki and sometimes frequent the chat. Are there spoilers for someone SCP-knowledgable?

And thanks for the answers so far. I'm kind of missing the first time I accidentally dug into the HFS, not knowing it was there, and watching the downfall of my fort play out.

There's also the creature generator here by Talvieno:

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=119625.0

With this, you can generate random new civs and creatures for each game. Nobody on the forums will be able to post spoilers for that.

Yes there are. The SCPs are there, but you have no way of knowing where. You'll probably know what does what, but you'll have no idea how to find them. For the most part, they'll find you.
