This is Dino, with news!

In the past couple of weeks, I decided to just sit down and write out Possum. For so long I've been so hesitant to jot anything down that I've got virtually nothing done; I wanted a perfect game but I realized an empty game is far from perfect.

So now I've written over twenty documents sketching out details about Possum. And so far everyone I've shown it to seems to like it. I've created new characters, renamed a few places, made weapons and other items, designed a "magic" system (still in the works of course), and am a good ways into the storyline itself. It's a very unique game, eclectic in style and with its own personal tone. I love how it's fleshing out.

Anyway, I read something about you wanting a Christmas present, and I'm considering possibly introducing some of the new characters, or otherwise enlightening the masses of the game in some other manner. I'm not sure yet though. :o3=

Cool

Wow, a rare piece of information from Dino

I would love to see some more information on Possum. The game is looking (and sounding) awesome.

(BTW, I feel for you with the pass thing. My J2O account is stuck because I forgot my old password. Now I'm on there as Buster_Snowbunny).

nice ideas dino. Although a magic system? If you put that into inverted commas due to it just being the basic idea, not actually being magic, kewl. However, it just seems that magic aint the right thing for Skitch. Nice ideas again.

Possums don't usually do magic. But... possums don't usually save Road Island and whatever else Skitch has to save(how do I remember these things?), and weasels don't usually try to take it over. And rabbits don't usually have guns. Or have their own planet. Or have somebody take it over, either. And... (the list goes on, and on, and on like they claim Energizer batteries, or the Energizer bunny, which is EASILY outdone by Jazz, Spaz, and Lori does...)
But, magic would be kewl

Just a comment from one of your many supporters.

It's not magic, ok? I put it in quotes because there's no other name for it right now.

And I hate the entire Harry Potter franchise, thank you very much.

You could always make classes... like the possum class with a gun... another class with magic... and so on.

Too bad they aren't Rats or mice. Then you could use Che instead of Magic (Get it, Che? as in Cheese. And playing off the word Chi. BaH, nevermind!).
