Pilgrim: Chapter 1

Grog has released Chapter 1 of his dying world saga, Pilgrim:

https://neverwintervault.org/project…grim-chapter-1

"The world is dying. Escape is the only hope we have left.

"It has been nineteen months since the Great Prophet Imri announced his findings; that the sun's heat, steadily dwindling, would soon ebb beyond all use. That society as we knew it would soon collapse.

"In the ensuing chaos, a great pilgrimage of travellers, refugees, and citizens departs for the equatorial lands, desperate to reach a warmer climate and claim a few years more of heat and life.

"Amongst them is an escaped house-slave, recently fled from the great northern nation of Thisk…"

Sounds like there are a few kinks still being worked out, but the story and setting seem unique.

Man, I thought this was going to be the game from Halt and Catch Fire. The title totally fooled me!

Hmm, well I did post it under NWN2.

Hmm, anyone played Maimed god Saga? Has an interesting premise, like the mods that focus on one role/class, mechanics and storyline. Usually those turn out best.

Yep I agree with that. A lot of my fav mods are class specific or at least special questlines for each class type. Almraiven / Shadewood (mages) & Dance with Rogues, & Agrenost: Beneath the Cobbles (five different paths to take based on your class) for NWN1 and Maimed Gods Saga for NWN2.

On topic, this sounds interesting and I like the "dying world" setting (e.g., Dark Sun).

Dark Sun was definitely an inspiration for me in creating the setting - there are a few elements that are directly ripped-off (cannibal halflings, for example), although the overall setting is much more advanced and less primitive.

Man, I have some great memories of both of the Dark Sun games. They did an awful amount of things so right in both projects, I really need to replay them both again at some point.

Thanks for the link.
This is why I still play NWN 1&2 new content years later.

Looks interesting, I'll check this out soon
