Battledale - Pilgrim's Rest

[Legacy_WyteHawk]

               Hi!

Doing a bit of creative writing got me to thinking about the old RPing days on the Battledale persistant server!

I roleplayed a host of characters, but mostly noteably Ferret Gonnffen, Feanor E'alith and the fairly infamous Di'thang Muriir.  

If any of the old Battledalers are on here, it'd be great to catch up - reply here, or better yet add my Steam "wytehawk". Also, would be especially keen to hear from anyone who can locate a local copy of the original Battledale module, just so i can fire it up locally for old time's sake! 

Hope to hear from some of the old crew '>

               Hello!

I remember those days rather fondly.  I played the elusive Pupkin and the insufferable Ally Foley.  Good times.

Incidentally I borrowed the name Di'thang for a villain in my PnP campaign last year.

Have any other old BDers come out of the woodwork?

I was a pretty insignificant figure back then, a barbarian dwarf named Ecthien, only think I got to around level 5-7 or so.  Still, it made a huge impression on me in my early teens, and to this day I remember it as one of the best gaming experiences I've had.  I would kill to play it again like it was.

Got all excited when I did a google of battledale and lead me to this. A shame it's over a year old.

 

Anyone still reading this, if so I make have a copy. I DMed on the server toward the end. I belive they where desperate. lol

 

Lots and Lots of memories where made on this server and its still sad that it shut down. Great great times where had there.

If you haven't already, send the OP a PM. I know I get an email when someone sends me a PM on this forum.

Looking to get this as well. I didn't realize people remembered it, much less had the resource on it. Hopefully somebody's reading this, I would kill to get the files for the server. I know some friends that I'd LOVE to set up a LAN party of this and roleplay through it, bit by bit.

 

Will be checking this thread from time to time as things go on, hoping to get a response! As a reference, I've been looking for a source for this for like.....years upon years after the server was shut down. Been craving it since then.

 

 

 

Also, JUST remembered. I was still new to roleplaying back then, but my character's name was Loran Karentos, or something akin to that. I may not have the spelling right, it's been a ridiculously long time.

Ah Battledale. Good times. My first PW and one of my fondest memories. Haven't ever found a place quite like it.

Battledale is one of the few PWs I still remember to this day.  Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I absolutely loved the system they had in place, and still remember the first time I made it to the Shrine of Gond to enchant a weapon.

 

Thirding the request for the module - if anyone still has a copy, I'd love to load it up for old times' sake.

Loved playing there too.  I did some GMing and much much more RPing back in the day.  It was a magical place.

Glad I stumbled on this thread.

               I think it's just great that even after all these years people still have an interest in a game that's so old. I started playing that game at least 12 years ago.

Just shows how great of a game and how awesome the server was.

I still hope something similar comes along one day.

Definitely, I think it's something that will stay with everyone who experienced it for a long time.  Hopefully it will serve as inspiration for anyone who becomes/has become a developer. 

 

As an aside, did you ever end up finding a copy of the module?

               I have not. I have two other old computers and an external hard drive to check yet. Currently moving to a new state so not able to check for a little bit yet. I'm actually sitting in a motel room typing this out. Lol I hope to be fully moved in a month. Motel life is no fun at all. I've done it way to many times in my life.
