In my studies of Ormek I've noticed something that strikes me as odd... If my calculations are correct then Ormek's Orc, Ogre, and Saurian population is 4,290,650. Which is 41% of the overall population of 10,465,000. Now I know that's a lot of smelly green guys running around. This isn't that big of a deal to me, but the fact that Duthelm's overall population is only 2,983,700. 1,760,383 of those inhabitants are Ogre, Orc, or Goblyn. Now, I know that living in the Lower Ice Rock Mountains has to be hard, and its not the best enviroment for breeding, but Duthelm is the seat of Ogre/Orc power. I just think that its weird for there to be that great of a gap in the populations. I don't know if this means there are to many Orcs in Ormek, to few Ogre's in Duthelm, or if you have them just the way you want them for a reason. Just something I was a bit curious about.

Also, I assume that the bulk of the "evil" humanoids live in the southern and interior portions of the nation. Since the Mercian, Rukemian, and War Vale forces would try to keep them away from there borders.

Mr Roomes, you wouldn't happen to have a Khoras graphic small enough to fit in my sidebar just lying around would you?

Also, my forums are now ready to join and roam around. So I encourage everyone to go there and comment on things.

Most of us are friendly anyways... Gotta watch that Spence character he'll bite if you turn your back. <_< >_> *Backs up to wall*

Well everyone, I actually have a real website for Perecho Heights up. Now I know it looks terrible right now, but I'm hoping once I get home and have a little editing software to mess with. I might be able to make it look a little better. This is also my very first try at something like this, so any help that is offered is appreciated. I will continue to make updates here though. Since a little more traffic comes through this site.

Aye, and I'll find a better place for the Khoras Banner later.

Photoshop Elements 3.0 is also a third choice. I think you can find it at at Wal-Mart, Target, etc. for around $60. I"m not sure about Elements 3.0 but the 2.0 version (which I own) is just a bit weaker than PSP. So if your looking to save an extra 20 bucks then check it out.

Update everyone, check it out, I just modified my last update post. So scroll up and tell me what you think. More will come later as usual.

Nope... Havn't died, and I havn't given up on this either. Just reallly busy putting in the hours so I can pay for school coming up in Sept. Look for a little progress to be done eventually. The update you did on the Ormek will help out quite a bit. Thanks Dave. Anything about the history of Ormek and anything involving it is alwaysa appreciated.

Sounds great. It would be awesome to read about a developing adventure as it plays out.

Just wanted to say I got this a while back and loved it. (Thanks everyone involved and Dave for the copy.) I watched it again the other day. It was just great.

Don't forget LA Tech down here where I'm from, in the "deep south." *Snickers in Little Nicky fashion*

Anyways... I made it to A-kon last year, won't this year, but that's just because it's in Dallas. Gencon would be pushing my limits a bit as far as traveling goes, but I'd definitely still be interested in trying sometime.

There will be a pretty basic stat system for this game. This is because the stats only tell the person's abilities and personality. There isn't dice rolling or anything along those lines. It's based primarily off of the roleplayers writing ability. The stats of a chracter will also change depending on the class they choose, but that will come later.

After choosing their race and class PC's will be given 25 points to distribute wherever they want to on their character.

In my studying of Ormek I have recently found something that puzzles me. On the timeline it says that Ormek was founded in 1471, but on the Ormek nations page thing it says it was founded in 1758. 1758 is still a significant year because that is the year that Rukemia annexed it, but is this where you want the nations history to begin, or just a simple mistake?

Meh... I guess it really doesn't matter, but it's just something I noticed and decided to ask about.

What exactly do you mean Tanis? I'm rather confused.

No Tanis, I believe the disclaimer would be the better idea by far. As the DM they have the ability to do whatever they wish with the monster's etc., but some players have a hard time grasping something like that (or at least I assume so.) So if a person ever has a complaint all Spence would have to do is PM them back a link to that page.
