So far this party has been a total sausage fest.  (Aside from Axel ) I'd like to throw my hat in the ring with a nomination for....

Lina Inverse, sorceress extraordinaire and dragon spooker! She could possibly be a fighter/MU but would more likely be a straight Magic-user, which could be an issue with the squishiness of low level wizards in 1st ed.

So an alternate option...

Aeryn Sun, former Peacekeeper officer and standing bad-ass (though she sometimes suffers from the Worf Effect)  She's a Fighter, of course.

LordBucket, I'm cool with either character, so pick whichever would work best for you. If I have to choose I'll go with Lina, as I love throwing fireballs.

Is voting limited to the players, or can the peanut gallery chime in? 

And more faces and sketches

My first reaction to this was to hear the "Make more helms!" guy in the voice of The Mayor of Townsville (from the Powerpuff Girls). It took me a second to figure out why, but really... he does kinda look like The Mayor, if The Mayor had a beard and was a dwarf.

I don't know if that was intentional or not, but consider me amused.

My inclination would be to attack 1, 3, 6, 5, 4, in that order. This way we keep the number of our frontline provinces at a minimum and prevent our troops from getting spread too thin. The reserve provinces can then be cultivated to feed and fund the army, search for treasure, etc.

We need more vassals! Time to send out the informative pamphlets detailing the glories of working for Chrysalis, then see if anyone bites.

(If I remember correctly, you can ask as many people as you want per turn if they'd be willing to defect. It's a bit tedious, and we'll probably only get low-loyalty folks right now, but we can't govern our expanding empire with just Garth and Sarthe.)

Well... crap. I can't believe the guy up and disappeared like that. What are the odds?

Pisaro is actually his original name. It got changed when the game was originally localized. (There were a *lot* of names changed in the localization of Dragon Warrior 4.)  I can't remember exactly why, but I always got the impression that his name was Saro, and the Necro- prefix was more of a title or honorific. The Saro's Shadow monster may have had something to do with the idea.

Although I'm not sure if there's any canon between them all(there is between DW1 and 2).

Canonically, DW 1-3 make up the Erdrick/Loto Trilogy. DW 4-6 are a new trilogy. The continuity is pretty loose though, so you can take it or leave it.

Fjords, you're doing a great job so far.   The only thing I miss from your LP so far is DW 4's great music. I suppose it's a necessary evil, but I still miss it. Especially with Aktemto, the theme is beautiful, sad, and really drives home the mournful atmosphere.

BTW, did you walk over to check out the corpse by the pond? It's another detail in the cavalcade of depression that is Aktemto, and the end of Chapter 4 in general. (Orin...!  )

Still, the best is yet to come in Chapter 5.

Doesn't zsnes have a built in video capture?
