Silver Town will be a non commercial game. It started as an adaptation of a home brew Dungeons and Dragons campaign using RPG Maker VX/Ace, and quickly grew into it's own story. Genre: RPG, Fantasy, Comedic, Parody This save is for people with XP machines who wish to continue past the Liche Fight, or if you want to resume from where the last demo left off due to old saves no longer functioning with the changes to skills: http://goo.gl/LZTewY New Mechanics and changes to skills have been made. The Game should be playable to it's conclusion. The game is presented in a similar fashion to a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Since buying RPG maker in March of 2013, I have spent this opportunity to try and translate the enjoyment and experience into a game for others to play. The mining town was originally a resource gathering expedition for the Empire that spawned it. Unrest grew as the primary source of labor on the newly discovered continent, beast men, were exploited exclusively to labor in the mines. People in service of the Empire their entire lives found little comfort in hard work as harsh taxes and the rising cost of protection from their father land. The army withdrew to pursue more lucrative locations leaving the fledgling town to fend for itself. Still the Empire demanded it's taxes from the colonists. During the time it took to establish a foothold for the colony the people rebelled. The rebellion was lead by Nidale a cleric of St. Cuthburt, Jura the right hand of the Emperor, and Heathcliff a beast man. The betrayal of the Empire and their fellows was swift and merciless. In the battle of Pax Anthor, the fort in which the Emperor's seat of power in the new continent had laid; the three rebel leaders decimated an entire battalion. Even the Empire's prized weapon and servant the Demon King was vanquished, and sealed. After their miraculous victory over the Empire and it's demonic servant Nidale took over control of the mining town. The resource operation restarted and the people made their own livelihoods in the shadow of the ruined fort. The colony was renamed, and the Silver Kingdom was born. Nidale still refused to give the beast men the rights she had promised Heathcliff and made them exclusive labor to the mines to rush production. Broken and spent from the battle Heathcliff succumbed to the plague. Twenty years later the mines have become corrupted by an unknown influence. Ore and precious metals drawn from the mine are unable to be processed, and monsters flood the tunnels. After all Nidale's options are exhausted she contacts Emmet, Heathcliff's son, in hopes of putting an end to the crisis. Emmet responds to her request with less zeal than expected and is soon geased into serving her. (Gease is a spell in DnD which forces someone to obey the will of the caster or suffer/die). Unable to refuse Emmet goes into a very unwelcoming town in hopes of finding someone, anyone to help him. He will first need a cleric, a holy symbol, and a ritual to purify the mines. You play the part of Emmet, and you will try to retrieve the special materials needed to save the town. Emmet Lightmane Spoiler A beast man who lost his father to the plague. He works as a woodcutter outside of the mining town, and generally avoids the townsfolk. His distaste for the mines is due to his father's disgust for the use of impractical labor and the treatment of his fellows. He is summoned into town and forced to work for Nidale after witnessing her bullying Lord Jura, guild master of the town's magi. Emmet soon discovers the origins of his father are much more sinister than he could hope to realize, and that he may be a pawn in an elaborate plan for power. Lord Jura (NPC) Previously the Empire's most powerful magi, he is an elven necromancer who betrayed his station at the Emperor's side. Now he runs the mage guild in Silver Town, with little more than a handful of initiates. He does not cast necromancy spells for fear of being labeled as evil. Shade Spoiler An eccentric human woman born with the gift of magic. Growing up in such a small country town has put her on edge and she is eager to begin her adventures. Her Master Lord Jura has forbidden her from going to the mines and purging them. She is an evocationist who specializes in utilitarians spells. Shade rejects the rod and staff as too boring for a mage, and prefers books and orbs for her focuses. Willard Spoiler A Human Cleric of Pelor who is not accepted by his fellows. His weapon is the staff, which is incredibly versatile. Staves add spells to a caster's list and function off of a charge system. When all charges from a staff are expended they become normal wooden non magical staves. As a cleric of the sun he has the unique skill to turn undead creatures when he is equipped with a holy symbol. His spell list is directly affected by his faith, and reflects the flavor of his character. Wolfe Spoiler A scared beast man who took to the streets after the mines closed in an attem…
