Thanks! Had a blast. Living in Los Angeles, I'm used to pretty good weather, but swimming in the Pacific in October, like we did in Hawaii, certainly isn't advisable even here.

Hey there, just wondering when will my proposed adventure will be approved. It has been more than two weeks now, and haven't received any communications since that of Ozymandias adjusting the xp of the skill challenges.

Hey, Voda. I've got the email, and had been working my way through the adventure proposals at the end of last week, when I started to have ankle issues. Now my inbox has >50 messages, but once I've worked through them, I do intend on getting to your adventure. Soon!

Yeah, I was in Los Cabos last year for my honeymoon and we couldn't go in on the pacific side, but in the Sea of Cortez we could, like a 20 min drive from our hotel on the Pacific to the other side.

Cool! Good to hear that, hope your foot is better. My uncle has gout, but has managed to follow a strict diet to avoid the nastier symptomatology.

Yeah, there's a few characters outstanding for approval as well (all of Sibylline Idol, for example). Should get done soon I hope.

Does anyone know if there's a continental, overland map of the Jade Empire, or the ENWorld equivalent?

Voda Vosa · Oct 26, 2009

I picture it as a highly montanious and mosty place, somehow like the montanious region of china or the lower Himalaya.

This isn't directly connected to HM's post, but it just struck me.

Isn't Jade Empire a Bioware RPG on the Xbox Console?

~googles it~

Yep, it is. BioWare's Official Jade Empire Site

Anyways, was the Jade Empire on L4W inspired at all by this game, or is the naming sheer coincidence?

H.M.Gimlord · Oct 26, 2009

Not sure, but "Jade Empire" has been China's nickname for time out of mind. I checked the Bioware site, though, just in case. I can't find a continental map there anyway.

BTW, are there posted overland maps of any of the Far Lands? (not including Avenroc. That's mine).

Voda Vosa · Oct 26, 2009

I played that game, and it inspired me to create Path of Enlightenment. I think the game is great, although it's world geography isn't depicted in the game, and from the descriptions that you can gather, it's basically a set of islands surrounding a huge continental area with various landscapes, although most seems plenty of mountains and forests.
