Holy crap I can keep a blog what is the point of this.

My minions,

I shall be away nearly two weeks. I know this is a lengthy span of time to go without your True God of Darkness, but you shall endure!

And when I come back I may announce a little surprise ;)

It seems that since the 12th or so the online profile had stopped updating its database of unlocks and achievements.
This is now fixed and your local database should update the online one next time you login ingame.

Sorry for the annoyance.

Itch.io is a newcomer in the online game stores business but it's a very nice one.
And made by a single guy. In a lua dialect.
Yay !

Go grab it while it's steaming hot over there:

My minions, I am happy and pround to give you Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.2.3 ! See http://te4.org/

Your launcher should automatically update your game so no need to redownload it all.

To my coding minions,

I am happy to announce a new web-api to access the character's vault (and maybe more in the future, I'm open to ideas).

This set of APIs will let you search the vault, grab charsheets in json or even the charball itself (charball is the "savefile" of the player's party).

This API is already used by nehal's "soon-to-be-released" ToME Metrics tool to give an idea of what it can do.

Go find them and the docs at: http://zigur.te4.org/

Arriving next is Kirsten, the High Tempest, which sees us travel to Angolwen to see a demonstration. Chapter Fifteen (Edit: ...I don't want to drown notifications. Future updates will be as a comment on the main page.)

I started playing ToME in january, without internet access. I was save-scumming a lot, with perma-death not really appealing to me. I'm the type of person who invents characters and personalities for everyone. (I made an archer JUST to unlock oozemancers, and the archer was named after me...)

When I finally got my net back, I was pretty much burnt out of tome. But a couple of weeks ago it updated, and I went back to it. I bought the steam version, so I could use exploration mode to play semi-legit rather than putting a lot of effort into cheating.

And inspiration struck. I started writing short stories about various different characters of mine and their famous deeds. I shall be including the canonical plotline, but shall probably end up overshadowing it with my own end-of-the-multiverse scenario. I'm taking liberties with the classes exact abilities, messing with lore a little, but by and large your knowledge of the setting is correct. Biggest thing I've done is to make ziguranth a little less hardline.

I'm currently at chapter fourteen, plus a mini-chapter. It's been shown to my friends, and the three or so people who follow the tales of maj'eyal and tome4 tags on Tumblr. There's also a forum thread down here. I hope someone enjoys it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.

First Chapter: Azira, the Truthseeker (Thaloren Oozemancer)
Latest Chapter (Fourteen): Serena, Second Sunrise (Higher? Sun ?)
