Game-Breakingly

Just a Little

Not at All

[Wwolin]

So exams are coming up, and next week is more or less a study week with almost no homework. Now, because I have nearly photographic memory, I don't really need to study. So unless I come down with a massive project from nowhere, I'm gonna have loads and loads of free time to update this. Expect updates every day or two, and I might even find the time to start up MAGUS as well.

Other than dat APUSH paper.

16 to 20 pages on military aviation during WWI? That's nothing. It's not due for a month, and it's the perfect length where I can add to it whenever I get bored, without having to spend all of my energy on it.

((That MAGUS rtd sounds good))

I'm not entirely sure what that is, but don't worry, we have loads of endgame abilities for stuff. I won't spoil much, but to give an example, Osborn's city-sized bookwyrm was due to the +/- 10 that came from killing a tier one boss. Bosses go all the way up to tier 10, which would provide a +/- 100. At that level, the very mechanics of the game can change.

Seems to be about tier 4-6 loot. Tier 10 is more like you get loot, and reality kind of breaks. Like summoning a few Ancalgons at once on command. Or being able to control the entire planet through force of will alone. Or suddenly deciding that you want to play this like a minimalist RTD. Ancalgon is big, but when someone goes minimalist and morphs him into Sigmund the Sea Monster before sending him to Mars as an emissary for the proud nation of Luxembelgium...

EDIT: Or rolling a 1 and inciting both Mars and Luxembelgium to declare war on the player...

BTW, googling "Ancalgon the Black", it appears he misspelled "Ancalagon", which is why it didn't turn up anything that made sense. I'm not sure why Google didn't ask if I meant "Ancalagon" instead; maybe it's not something that's searched for often?

Or maybe it's just not a word?

It's from the - prepare for misspelling - Sillimarillon. The baddest dragon around, in an age that has been likened to DragonBallZ in D&D. But yeah, high tier loot - best.

[GreatWyrmGold]

That doesn't put it in Google's dictionary.

... J. R. R. Tolkein? Lord of the Rings?

[GreatWyrmGold]

I should say, I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't put it in Google's dictionary. Especially since it didn't exactly enter common useage.

What with Ancalagon only being mentioned in one passage of a book that's more impenetrable and obscure than Leviticus, I'm not surprised.

I think more people would know what the Silmarillion was over what Leviticus was.

You are optimistic, sir.
