For those of you who haven't seen it yet, have a look at Trinity, the upcoming (free!) plugin for Pillars of Garendall:

With (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/games/coldstone/")Coldstone(/url) (soon to be released as well), you'll be able to make your own plugins for Pillars of Garendall -- or a full-fledged new game!

Trinity should be out this week -- along with an update to Pillars of Garendall (which will be a short download). Here are some details from the Trinity documentation:

.....

Trinity is a plugin module for the great adventure game Pillars of Garendall. It adds three new specialties to choose from: swordsman, ranger, and conjurer. Each specialty starts with different base statistics and equipment.

They will also require different numbers of experience points to gain levels and they can receive special bonuses or skills as well. In addition to this extended character development and new original items, the player of each class has a special new location of his own to discover in the Kingdom of Garendall. The ranger and conjurer also have a new appearance.

Andrew, can you give us any idea of size of the download? I'm assuming it will
be a package download(trinity and POG update bundled together), or will they be
seperate downloads?

Just trying to get an idea about whether I'll need to set up the all-night ftp
session again for the 33.6 modem, or if it will be under 10 megs and I can get it in
a few hours.

Thanks

My guess is that the PoG update will be about a 2mb download, and Trinity will be about a 15mb download.

Does this mean that the POG CD will be soon to follow?

------------------

Since PoG is on the Dec. Macaddict CD, do you think the update(and maybe even Trinity) might make it onto an upcoming disk?

You'll need the update to play Trinity (as well as other plugins) anyway but they will most probably be avalaible as two separate download.
