Vive la lama!

Lately I have no time to drop around here. I am waiting to the final wipe to ride around Novia, and I  am also expecting a surgery for my avatar in the Earth.

That avatar get older and Timelord started a very touching post about that magnificient event!

And the winner is...

Finally Midas did the raffle. The winner will have the option to have a personalized "books and hooves" llama art in his/her house/lot before/after the wipe. So, it could be one of my last or first masterpices in the world! 

Here we go!

Raffle

Raffle

Raffle!

Your wishes come true in this place!

A new comic prevailed in the vote, followed by "more totally random stuff". I have no problem with the last one, but the comic was the only in the list that I should start from zero... Anyway the comic number 8 will come soon, as you -humans- wish!

Brace yourselves, The Disastrous Adventures number 8 is comming...

Two years old for this llamastic site!

Yay! This chronicles already becomes a two years old website. Maybe I should prepare something special to celebrate this extraordinary event... What should I prepare? You choose!

New wipe, (another) new face

That awesome moment when you can create a brand new handsome face after a wipe...

I know, I always do this post! :D

Portalarium also have sense of humour

If someone asks where I am, I'm busy playing around with my avatar on planet Earth, preparing another art exhibition. And do not forget that today we have the Telethon of spring, where we can enjoy glorious and epic images like this one.

The gallery of the Gallery, unholy screeshots

Hi hoof! Today we have the expected screenshot of the Grand Opening of the Gallery of the Wonderful Horrors. If you still did not visited it maybe you will prefer to take a look first, in the Islands of Wonders, east of Brittany.

It will be alive until Release 29!

Be aware, spoilers are coming!

Gamy invite you to see the Gallery of Horrors

Gamy The Alchemist, who liked very much the Gallery of the Wonderfuls Horrors yesterday, prepared a little video visiting the gallery. So, you can check here the 90% of my freakshow.

The video begins with my little zoo. Sadly the texts in the game were bugged, so I could not put there the description and background of each terrible beast contained in the zoo, but I hope I can add them anyway. Then he covers most of the creations, including the most important of them.

If you dont want any spoiler you can visit first the gallery, in Islands of Wonders, close to Paxlair, east of Brittany. And inside the Islands of Wonders you just need to go straight, up the hill. Soon I will upload also a photo gallery with some extra information.

The Lords of New Britannia unboxing video

Selene Noctua (who posed for a couple of cards) has made a video with the unboxing of the physical copy of The Lord of New Britannia. I will leave the video here, with some of the pics that she took. If you are lucky maybe you will be able to play this game with her in the Dragoncon!

The video is a little bit blurry (better in a small window), but anyway useful and nice enough:

The quality of the cards are pretty fine. The box cardboard is a little bit light, so probably you will use it more as a decoration than as a box to protect the deck.

200 chronicles of the Vortex Llama!

I just noticed that I hit the 200 entries!

Human body evolution

One of the most interesting news of the last updates was the improvement of the humans models. Because humans and bipedal creatures are so last year!

The new model looks way better. I wonder what the future will bring to Shroud of the Avatar...

Gallery of Horrors, Session 02 invitation!

Hi hoof!

I think there no better way to say hello to the Release 28 than this one:

Physical edition of The Lords of New Britannia

Some humans wanted a phsysical cool copy to play The Lords of New Britannia, and a fñaming bird called WrathPhoenix recommended me "thegamecrafter.com", a site to creaft games that he was going to use anyway. I worked hard with all my hooves and finally I have an edition of  my card-tale here:

Amazing edtion of the amazing Vortex Llama card game

Tarot of the Purple Death Quick Reference

This month has been for Lords of New Britannia but, does anyone still remember the Tarot of the Purple Death? Oh, what a creation was that! But some people could miss a manual of reference...

The Lords of New Britannia Complete Edition

Finally, the game rulebook is here!I will add any needed modification in a future, and I hope someone will enjoy the game as much as I did preparing this Llamastic stuff for you. If I have a not very negative feedback I will release a second episode of Elites, with some great new options and a scenario book!

Here the link of the rule set. Please, contact with me if you have any problem. Now I will add the fonal compilation of links for the game deck. 

Enjoy it!

The Lords of New Britannia: Elite Set 7/7

The Lords of New Britannia: And finally the final and supreme elite cards! Tomorrow I will upload the manual. I am working in it, very much, as a pack llama, until the last minute, to make it the most easy and complete for the human brains.

For example, if you take a look to the old cards you will see that I revamped some of the symbols in the descriptions. Before the cards only had swords symbols, and now they are four variations, adding rays, eyes and ankhs. I did it to make the skill faster to recognize and easier to use!

The Lords of New Britannia: Elite Set 6/7

The Lords of New Britannia: We are close to finish! To maybe is better if you just sit down and drink a beer with me. But take care, my tasty poison is an epic hangover creator.

If you survive maybe you can go to adventure a little bit, to visit some of the -already classics- big creatures of New Britannia. Of course these two are big masters at surviving ...

Portalarium support the Gallery of Horrors

Portalarium do not forget about my petition for the Gallery of Wonderful Horrors, probably highly impacted by my supreme poster! A mighty view of the #166 update of the avatar:

The Lords of New Britannia: Elite Set 5/7

The Lords of New Britannia: I had chaox vortex problem with my new internet access today, so I post a little bit late. I wish I could have an Oracle to prevent my troubles! Luckily you will have one now, in your Troop Deck.

The Lords of New Britannia: Elite Set 4/7

The Lords of New Britannia: The three Elite cards that we have today represent three personalities with very different resources. The Wanderer is a errant man that sometimes can fight with true power... to disappear again into the shadows!

And, if you have a problem with the Dark Lepus maybe you should look for a passage to those smugglers of Kingsport. But to start a new life is not cheap for humans.

The EVL mortal llama and the PVP league

Yesterday was a pvp event from a guild called EVL (yes, I know what you are thinkig: Energy Llama Vortex). But nobody wanted to start the tournament. I wonder why...

The Lords of New Britannia: Elite Set 3/7

The Lords of New Britannia: Maybe the Gustball is not the most powerful creature ever... but it is immortal! And that is a quality that most of the humans doesn't have...

But Mojito is not that much human. =)

The Lords of New Britannia: Elite Set 2/7

The Lords of New Britannia: Not all Elite cards are vortexly powerful, some even have very significant adverse effects. For example, do you remember that the lower the number the better the level? Yes, that 14 even brokes the low level of our dear Purple Llama!

Luckily, many cards with low level have better skills that the beggar... If you use them wisely you could get an important advantage!

The Lords of New Britannia: Elite Set 1/7

The Lords of New Britannia: The Elites are cards that will be use just in some games, bringing variety and surprise factor to the table. While the basic units represent the generic inhabitants of the island, these cards add some specific creatures to the deck and usually have special rules, sometimes negative.

Our first Elite card will be the jester, the wildcard, the asterisk. And what can be a perfect wildcard in New Brinannia? Exactly, me. Because I am very wild. But if we need any polymorphic creature better use your magic whistle to call a mimic!

The Lords of New Britannia. Basic game set 5/5

The Lords of New Britannia: The final cards of the basic set. And yes, we have here three really powerful units! These 13 cards (80 copies) create the basic troop deck, and will be played in every game.

But tomorrow some elite cards will be revealed...

The Lords of New Britannia. Basic game set 4/5

The Lords of New Britannia: Today we have some serious troops for the game deck. For sure they can beat, cut and roast your enemies. But remember: this is a friendly game, you should not eat anyone without a good reason...

The Lords of New Britannia. Basic game set 3/5

The Lords of New Britannia: Some organizations have the power, others have the money, few have the information. Note: Since the satyr card had a vortex errata yesterday, I uploaded it again.

The Lords of New Britannia. Basic game set 2/5

The Lords of New Britannia: Today we have a set of those low level creatures, but that "visit" us in huge numbers. Huge as your heart...after being pierced by my mortal hooves!

The Lords of New Britannia. Basic game set 1/5

This month will be the month of a new and amazing creation of me:

The Lords of New Britannia, ¡a Shroud of the Avatar card game! 

Inspired in The Great Dalmuti/Asshole/President this fast and easy to play card-party game has its own rule set, that reflects some aspects of the adventures in Novia, and will make it more funny, diverse and complete. At least for a llama it is. From 3 to 11 players!!!

Today you can enjoy the first card and the reverse. From tomorrow I will add three additional cards to the collection! Every day! Finally I will add the manual, that was revised one million times, since I know pretty well that you humans need very clear instructions.

The cards have the stardard brige size (57mm x 89mm), but I think that they can be printed in bigger formats without any problem. I hope you will like it, or I will kill you!

See you in Novia!

The Gallery oh Horrors wants you!

Today I have something to ask you. I wanted to create an amazing poster, then I became sleepy and lazy, as usual, and I just did monstrosity, but in purple:

Beautifulness stravaganzza!!!

Today I will post some amazing pics of one of the multiple (of zero) fans of my chronicles, Sindariya, the maze lady. And this comes with stunning news... some purple llamas appeared the last night in the Shooter Jennings event, by the hand of the devs!

Note: They are real screenshots! The llamas are not with color filters or edition this time. If you have more images of those graceful and charming creatures you can send me any for this site, if you wish.

Rares, who said rares?

Ultima Online was the first MMO of the history, a game that introduced a ton of rares items, digital goodies with a real price in the "real" world. Being the new creation of Richard Garriott, we already knew that Shroud of the Avatar could have a good portion of these valuables.

In the Release 10 Portalarium introduced the Grand Tours, a special quest to run around Novia and get a time-limited hat that could be obtained only in that particular release ("did someone say rares?"). The Release 26 will be the last one with a "virtue" hat, but we already have here a market for the collectors.

By now these rares could be split in three big groups:

The epitaph of the hats

This release will be the last one with a Grand Tour (Hat) Quest. I think that everyone that finished all the quests (or just everyone, who cares) deserve a last mighty hat, a final present to reward all that effort looking for the Waldo-robots (thanks for the help, Envyco & co!).

Come on, I remember that I even had go to an internet cafe full of homeless humans, at late night, in Taiwan, with a typhoon, to get the icecream chaperon (thanks, Net & co!), when I was crossing the homeland of the avatars. True story!

Luckily I have a suggestion to do, the perfect hat of the hats:

Final wipe and ton of rules!

Finally we have the schedule of the final wipe, with the land lot selection. There is only one, or maybe two, or maybe three problems: pages and pages of rules, 91 different groups of backers, various time zones... I know, is not that hard, but I am a chaotic llama from another dimension!

Release 26 is here!

Ah, a new release and wipe is here! Now I can do again the ancient ritual of design a new beautiful human face! Everytime my skills with those details that make the face of a man very attractive are becoming better and better.

My Disastrous Adventures 7: A New Beginning

Llama (no that mini) interview: Sir Stile Teckel

It's been a long time since I updated this site with a new interview, but I wish to add today to my particular "Hall of Fame" to Sir Stile Teckel, noble warrant of the Order of New Britain Empire (ONBE), dugeon master of thecaverns.net, where Lord Baldrith, first member of my Hall of Fame, share his voice in the podcasts. Well, a nice guy.

So, welcome to the new season of the llama mini inverviews!

Happy 8.000.000$!

Finally Shroud of the avatar hits the 8 million heaven! That is quite impressive for a product that still has no purple llamas!
