To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Din, champion of the gods, has cursed you into a second life of service because you selfishly squandered your first one while causing misfortune to those around you. To redeem yourself, you must impress Din by building a reputation for helping others. Travel the spacious western plains of Aleria and save desperate towns from the brink of annihilation. Until you're redeemed, you're doomed to wander the earth alone for all eternity.
In Din's Curse, you will explore an extensive underground, slaying dangerous monsters, solving dynamic quests, dodging deadly traps, and in your spare time, plundering loot. Quell uprisings, flush out traitors, kill assassins, cure plagues, purge curses, end wars, and complete other dangerous quests or the danger WILL escalate. Not all is as it seems though, traitors will gladly stab you in the back, renegades can revolt against the town, spies can set up ambushes, and items might even curse or possess your friends.
Choose one of 141 class combinations and journey to an infinite number of dynamically generated towns with vastly different problems. Every game is a surprise! Your actions have real consequences in this dynamic, evolving world. Your choices actually matter!
Open the door to Din's Curse. Surprising adventures await!
* Uniquely created worlds for every game, with different monsters, items, quests, and even townspeople, give the player a new experience every time
* Explore a dynamic, evolving, living world
* Many hybrid classes to experience - 6 full classes, 18 specialties, 141 total combinations
* Your choices truly impact the game
* Surprising, emergent gameplay
* Co-op multiplayer to adventure with friends
Finally, some screenies -
Ironhound.. that's a lot to read, can you summarize the game for me?
Sure, basically, this game is VERY simaliar to Diablo 2 and Torchlight. You might remember another equally lesser known game (also available from the website.) called Depths of Peril. I was first turned on to the game with the fact that its for mac, and has a TON of random stuff with oodles of replayability. For instance, say you don't want to do that kill 5 sprites quest. That's ok, because in about ten minutes one of those sprites will have risen to the top of the food chain, and started construction on a war machine. What? You ignored that quest too? Well, don't come crying to me when the town you protected is under attack.
I like the randomness. Each town has one dungeon (Sorry no exploring outside the towns.) Which can be anything from your classic dungeon to what looks like the inside of a crypt/manor to lord knows what else. Its completely random, and a huge draw for me. All of the items are random, and the classes are very cool. I'm currently playing a Defender/Necromancer Hybrid. With 141 I'm sure you'll find something.
Honestly, try the demo. It only goes until level 5, and you probably wont see any of the dynamic stuff I'm talking about, but if you are a fan of Torchlight or Diablo, I'd give it a try. Depths of Peril is another good play, but is older, and more complicated. (With your charector building a clan and fighting other clans for control of a barbarian city.)
Just thought I'd let you all know about what has been sucking up my play time.... just got to save one... more... town..
Good stuff.
Thanks for the info Ironhound, here is a link to the website http://www.soldak.com/
