Greetings GameAmp readers and staff!
Just letting you know that we appreciate the coverage and interest in Hero's Journey.
So far I've had my hand in several systems that I hope you will enjoy. They include (but are not limited to) NPCs, Shops and Auctions.
We are working hard to get some fun stuff available for E3. Like Royce, I'll be there doing what I can to spread the word.
Thanks for having us,
Cirakin

1st off Welcome to the site, Cirakin!
I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys will be showing us at E3. After reading about this game I knew I was going to be hooked on it. I can't wait to hear and see more!
*Edit
I'm pinning this so everyone can find out who all of you are easily. So if any of the rest of you want to post an mini intro here, our community will have an easy reference to find out who you are.
Yes, this may indeed be a subtle hint

Ok, seems there's an official topic for intro's now so...
Hello (again)
I'm GameMaster Royce, offsite dev for Hero's Journey. I've been with Simutronics as a player since 1996 and a GM since 1999 (For Dragonrealms).
In 2002 I moved on from DR and into HJ. I've done various things over the past few years including 3d. And am currently working on the clan/guild/great house system.
I'm glad to have found the site and can't wait to hear from all of you out there.

Hello hello hello,
So glad I can actually have my full name as my username. Having to cut off the end so I can keep the HJ- tag can be so annoying. Thanks for having us here to tease you all with half hints and lots of "sorry I can't discuss that yet" responses. :D
As you'll soon find out I'm the evil one on the World Team. I especially enjoy it when someone give me more evil ideas to put in place in HJ.

Hello, hello, hello to you to. And Welcome to the site, Illuminatis!
And I can handle half hints, and I understand the NDA. But I have no doubt we can help you with the evil ideas.

While I would love nothing more then assisting with that. I'm not a coder for HJ. (I do enough coding in my full time job.) I can however cater to phobias and design delicious little surprises for players though. Muahaha!

What do you mean by phobias? I'm trying to get a better idea of what kind of evil creations you would assistance with. We wouldn't want a lack of "evil" in HJ.

Phobias > Fears
We've already had people say they refuse to go to the city suspended over a chasm by chains with broken links they saw in a screenshot. (Although I wasn't a gm at the time of that places creation.) Traps, surprises, encounters,, spooky areas, and I can always beg a coder to build something for me.

So you are talking like playing on people's phobias? Like when a group enters a perfecly innocent looking cave, and as they travel deeper and deeper they don't run into anything, until they are waaaaaaay in there and all the sudden thousands of spiders drop from the ceiling onto them?
Or like, for people who have triskaidekaphobia. Have an area that has the number 13 used w/ everything in it (ex: 13 large stones, 13 trees, 13 birds fling over head, ect.)
Is that the sort of stuff you are talking about?

Welcome HJ staff! I look forward to your vague and half hint answers, after all half the information is better than no information.
Hopefully we can help give you some great idea's for the game, or at least a great way to communicate any needs you might have if any.

Just the man I want to see :) You should check out the PvP thread here, at the end we get into some really meaty discussion about the topic.
Also the Player Housing thread has some great idea's and comments as well.

Ah, you know what would be really cruel is to have a dungeon where the walls continully close in on the group. There was something like this in Final Fantasy II and it really kills those people that don't like close spaces :)
Also I've always wanted rocks to fall the from the top of a high cave, much like Dwarrowdelf in LotR. I'm terribly afraid of looking up at tall enclosed area's. So having part of the roof collapse would definately make me jump out of my seat :)

Hi everyone.
I'm Goat, a member of the latest wave of Gamemasters to enter Hero's Journey. I'm still in training, but when I finish I will be moving to the development (coding) side of things.
About me: I'm a professional poker player who misses those neurosis-inducing programming binges of college, and what self-respecting geek hasn't wanted to make a video game? I've played Simu games since about 94, and Simu is one of the few companies that will let someone without game programming experience program games, it seems a perfect fit (An aside- I challenge you to find a development studio that lists a programming job with "no experience required." I'll probably give you a dollar if you find one).
Things are always getting done here at HJ and everything looks gorgeous, so I have great feelings about the game.
Having been on the receiving end of the "partial information forum post tease" for the last decade, I look forward to being on the sending end now :-)

Hello everyone, I sort of introduced myself elsewhere but I guess I should come over here and make it "official" :)
My name is Sisca, I've been playing MMO's since the early days of EQ and I've at least tried every major MMO that's come out since.
I've been a HJ GM since last October and I'm currently one of the team leads on the world team.

No, I'm still offsite. The world team is actually pretty good sized so we broke it down into smaller teams so that we can split the workload. I lead one of those smaller teams. Basically I try and make sure my team stays on the same page and gets our part of whatever project we're working on done on time.

Hey there all! Rowell here, stopping in to meet and greet ya'll here at GameAmp. I didn't even know this place existed until a fellow GM mentioned it, now I'm glad that she did mention it.
I'm an off-site GM with the World Building team, currently working on a few secret projects, including the E3 Demo. I'm a hybrid GM; I do world building, as well as scripting, such as creature AI's, traps, and all sorts of other insideous things.
I'm sure you're going to love Hero's Journey once it's released. Until then though, I look forward to hearing from you about your ideas, and your thoughts on MMO's. Some of the best ideas in HJ has come from the minds of players. so speak up, we don't bite.....much. ;)

Welcome to Gameamp, Rowell! We are glad your "fellow GM" mentioned us to you *grin*
I'll bet right now you are super, mega busy w/ that E3 demo, and I can't wait until next weekend when we get to see them!!!
It doesn't sound like you are a hybrid GM, it sounds more like you are a "gotta do everything" kinda GM *grin*. So is it your skills that makes you so useful in the different aspects of GM'ing? And what determins what aspect you are working on now? (I hope your friend warned you that we ask a lot of questions)
And we don't bite much either!
