Wow!

And people were worried about being "stymied" when it came to Ages and Stories. His guidelines so far as they read open the door quite wide (maybe not all the way open, but still).

Now people CAN make D'ni Ages, and they can still make them quite interesting (even though I though everyone's Ages were already interesting).

I sure hope this makes a lot of unhappy people that wanted to do things like this, happy now. :)

These are pretty good guidelines. :D Of course, I gotta ask for tons of clarifications while RAWA's still around.

Wow so D'ni content is indeed coming our way.. that opens up so many perspectives. I'd never thought we'd see that one day.
Personally I find the idea to be able to add to the Cavern a bit scary, it's a big 'responsability'. But at the same time it SO tempting... :shock: So many ideas come to mind..
First of all there's this 'hood' project that's been sitting in my (virtual) drawers for the last two years. I had begun working on it way back not knowing at the time that D'ni content would be forbidden (or rather, blatantly ignoring that strong possibility.. :oops: ).. Now it's tempting to resurrect that project and dig a hole of mine in that Cavern wall..

Aloys, you're telling me. I had this whole idea for a D'ni age, created by a Group of Writers to do experiments to descriptive books, and break the laws governing the Art. I had the age nearly finished when I read that ages couldn't have D'ni content in them. Now I can go back and finish that age, and with the advancments in PyPRP finally see my original vision for the age come to life.

That's good news for me, doesn't mean I have to change my awesome storyline for my age. Sweetness :D

It makes ME happy Andy! :D

The door was brought wide enough that some folks (who have their ear to said door) are falling to the floor... ;) No wonder y'all were speechless during the initial discussion.

Anyway, this had no major bearing on the idea or two that popped up recently; They were self-contained enough as it was from an IC front, while still almost entirely OOC oriented.
