    For those people who don't read the RPG Codex news thread or who don't receive Project Eternity updates, a Kickstarter for the proposed computer game The Bard's Tale IV is currently looking for backers. If you never played the first 3 The Bard's Tale computer games, then you missed out on some great fantasy computer RPGs from yesteryear. The Bard's Tale computer game that was released in 2004 was utter shite, but hopefully The Bard's Tale IV won't be based on that at all!

    And if you back in the first 24 hours of the kickstarter you'll get a free copy of Wasteland 2, The Witcher, or The Witcher 2 Assasin of kings.

    So, get on over and back now! Hurry up! :)

    I really hope The Bards Tale IV is going to be the spiritual successor of the Wizardry series, especially Wizardry 8.

    Ha! I'm playing Wiz8 now and I just reached the huge tree village.

    I had forgotten just how unforgiving the older games were.

    Great game and lots of fun, now if I could just keep my fairie Mage alive. ;)

    I think the Dolls' Clothes are a good armor for fairies- unless that's one of the deleted/missing items from the game...

    I haven't seen it yet, although I did stumble upon a doll.

    Dolls' Clothes are available but later in (spoiler) Rapax Castle (spoiler).

    I recommend at least one playthrough with the Reforged Mod 1.1.
    It is like the CO8 New Content Modpack for Wiz8 :). So much of the new content, that you can easily lvl up your 6 PCs party till 50 lvl.

    Edit: Add spoiler tag fail. Could someone tell me which colour do you use for spoilers?

    For a spoiler just do like you did except use [brackets] instead and put a / in front of the end spoiler.

    An example (spoiler) spoiler text goes here (/spoiler), just remember to use brackets and not parenthase.

    I hope this makes sense. :)
