I thought this was really cool for some reason.

 

We could apply it in the darkmod by having an AI sit at a piano and looking like they were playing... using this pianola, the freakin' keys would even go down when the note played.

[Demigod]

That is realy cool

[Renzatic]

Hell yeah, we could use that.

[oDDity]

Yes, every little ambience helps. Cory plays the piano, he could record a baroque recital for us to play.

[Macsen]

Brilliant stuff. I'm all for sticking as many instruments in the game as possible. If the guards have whistles to alert others to your presence, Revenants could have some kind of Army of Darkness style Dans Macabre flute made of bone, while the pagan forest imps would play harps and mandolins... This piano should go in the first mansion level of the campaign in my opinion.

[Ishtvan]

So Macsen are you saying that you wrote the campaign as a Musical? :lol:

 

Are we going to have to animate "Dance of the Angered Benny?"

[Macsen]

I've written a few musical numbers in there. It depends what NH and his voice team are up for.

That's a cool idea. Guards can run to the next piano and play a coded tune that tells others where the thief is.

 

Seriously. I always liked it in T2 when you could even use the instruments.

[oDDity]

Well, you could frob the harp and make a discordant noise at least...

[sparhawk]

And you could play the flute. Or? Hmmm... not so sure about it.

[Ishtvan]

I think in T2, the harp made a discordinant noise 50% of the time and played up some scale 50% of the time.

 

Maybe if you play an instrument really well, the AI that come bursting into the room will recognize true talent, and decide to just beat you senseless instead of kill you.

How about in the campaign, our Thief actually is a musician as well? Like plays the violin or something, like a wrong-side-of-the-law Sherlock Holmes ?

 

Also I've suggested it once already: how about all the cutscenes are in Wagnerian music-drama style? REAL DRAMATIC LIKE.

[sparhawk]

Don't get to carried away. This is a public forum so we shouldn't start discussing campaign issues here.

[Ishtvan]

True, true, they must never know about the ancient Lute of the Pythagorean Order.

[Macsen]

Have we announced that the campaign is called Mr. Thief and the Ocarina of Time?

[Renzatic]

I thought it was Mr. Stealin Stuff and the Macarena of Thyme...

 

SOMEONE LIED TO ME!

[Ragnarok]

SOMEONE LIED TO ME!

 

Was it the government?

 

...'Cause, ya know, lyin' bastards they be. >.>

[Renzatic]

Probably...they already shafted me on my income taxes this year.

[Ragnarok]

Know what's fun? Tax evasion.

 

 

In other news,

 

I've written a few musical numbers in there. It depends what NH and his voice team are up for.

 

can we get several guards doing an interpretive dance of "Who Stole The Cookie From The Cookie Jar?"

 

Personally I'd blame the Thief...

At the moment I've just got a leper siging about the loss of his various body parts.

 

Interesting Trivia: I was chased down a street by a bunch of teenage lepers in Lusaka. Luckily I had two legs and so could outrun them.

Is it all melancholy? What if he never liked his arms? I mean, what with the constant *dangling* and all... Maybe he could bust out into something along the lines of "Singing In The Rain" on account of no longer having to deal with them pesky, unruly extremities, eh?

 

'Cause otherwise he'd pretty much just be like one of 'em fellows I pass on the subway... and those are just more smelly than scary.

1) Lusaka... is that in Detroit?

 

2) You may have been lucky that time since they had no legs to catch you with, but what if they had jetpacks? Hmm? What would you have done then?

 

Legless lepers don't scare me, but put a jetpack on one and watch out... 'cause then you've just got problems is what you've got... flying, legless problems...

[Macsen]

It's in Zambia. Mooother Afrrricah!!

 

I'm quite fond on the leper I've created. He's a posh fellow, the Marquis of Fountensooth. He was imprisoned by the Builders for stealing a monacle, poor thing. He didn't need his glasses anymore after his left eye fell out.

[Dram]

Where is this uhh conversation heading?

[Ragnarok]

Likely to large doeses of compulsory medication and the systematic perversion of the human psyche upon the digital plane....

 

 

Or perhaps to a spontaneous conversation regarding turtles... could go either way.
