I like this picture better. Anyway welcome to the forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />. Hope you stay a while. Theire lots of instpiration around here. If you ever need inspiration for a character that is nuts you'll find them here. (Not me I am perfectly sane (at least that what the docters tell me (Damm docters. One day Morbo will rule them all MUHAHAHAHA)))


and welcome again to the forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Thank you, I have posted before.... quite a while back but I can't remember why. That shot isn't exactly very natural (since I had a bright light shining in my face at the time)but it's a nice one and in-keeping with the style of the mag at the time before they moved into black and white pics of the staff.

Idd it was in this thread. How could I have forgotten (I blame the docters and theire pills <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />).

So Rhianna, how exactly is it that you got involved in Beyond Divinity?

Also, any hints on what the novella is about? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

yes please, do tell......... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

Leather_Raven (aka Rhianna), welcome to the forum. It real nice to see you here. It really makes this forum the best with more and more of the people involed with Larian Studios in the forum. Can't wait to read your Novella.

Welcome. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I don't know whether you have already got used to our particular Forum-Humour here, but I think it's still ... at least rare. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

sometimes medium-rare will do! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />



and welcome from me 2! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the larian forums <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I can imagine it can be hard to be constantly marketed as 'daughter of the discworld guy' :P His books did made me start reading novels again though.

How did you get in contact with Larian for the writing job? I've seen some articles at the CVG site, small step from gaming journalism to game dev job aparently.
/me glances at el shrimpo...

Well...it happened a little like this...

I really liked the original DivDiv and supported it a lot in the press, I think Zone's score was the highest for a mag in the UK. A year later, just after I left to go full time freelance, I got a call from Leo (Digital Jesters) and Swen asking if I'd be interested in editing what was then Riftrunner, as they'd used a UK journalist previously to edit the DivDiv dialogues but he wasn't available this time. And the rest, as they say, is history. The novella was originally going to be about 10,000 words but it was increased to 21.5k because Larian wanted to give players something a little bit extra and different with the game. It's the longest piece of fiction I've ever written, which mildly worried Swen for a while, but I think he's happy with the way it has turned out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It basically focuses on the storyline between the end of DivDiv and the start of BeyondDiv.

Thanks for your welcome.

and the next reply is from beef! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

wow. we ketch all sorts of fish in our nets here. fish, trolls, authors. wow!!!


glad you could make it and welcome! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />


so what exactly is it about? the skill of rifterrunninger??? riftrunner.


Is it humours? Or do I just have to wait... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

I like it bien-cuit.

btw, for those interested in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />D: fiction, check your :dd: game directory, the game comes with a pdf with a nice background story. I think it was about the battle between the lord of destruction and humans.

If a lot of players find the novella great, it could be the start of a new carrier <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> How's that for genetics, start out as journalist and switch to auther <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Yes, that's true : <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> Has its own small background story.

Apart from that - don't forget me ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I was so embarassed as I found out they had really included my texts into the game ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

your texts?

*edit*
this one?

No. Not my style. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

lol. more like the "words of wind" I think, not exactly. the guy in front of the magic shop in merchants area.

and the book, i got it in Otto's house. heh.
