Q Files Updates: Rest of 2003

Post by Spectrum »

We kick off June with half a Q Files update. This time we cover the Champions files, next time the D&D files.

It's the aftermath to Target: Hero in Crusaders #55-56 as the team relaxes and an old enemy surfaces once more.

In Lost Heroes #45-46, Beth tries to help heal Solitaire, while more new people arrive out of the blue.

Debuting this update is the LA Knights! The Knights were the second longest Champs game on Q, clocking in with 147 posts. Picking up on events from New Crusaders #1-4 & the New Crusaders Soloists files, check out LA Knights #1-4.

That's all folks!

And finally, here's the D&D half of the Q Files update.

In Frontier # 80 & 81, the Seekers engage in the great mule debate before going out into the wild once more where they encounter a very dangerous beast. (Yes, I am being sarcastic there.)

Over in Sword of Doom #40-41, the group splits up to cover multiple tasks. One track deals with the trolls that attacked Raith's companions, while Argent leads the mages to explore the mage towers of Karn's Keep.

Enjoy!

Finally, there's a new Q Files update!

The aliens finally arrive and attack Alpha Base in Lost Heroes #47-49!

The Company of the Sword takes on some trolls in Sword of Doom #42-44.

Lastly, the Seekers encounter several foes far more dangerous than a giant porcupine on Frontier #82-83 & Frontier #84-85! A special thanks to Muskateer for doing the editing and formatting for those files!

Enjoy!

Q Files update: September 1st!

Post by Spectrum »

Finally, here's some more Q files!

The resolution of the Great Supervillian Contest begins in New Crusaders #5-7 featuring the LA Knights and the Freedom Squad!

The battle against the aliens continues in Lost Heroes #50-53! There's only two more files beyond this one, so this series is nearing its end!

The Seekers battle a demon in Frontier #86-87 and discover another pillar artifact in Frontier #88.

The Companies battle with the trolls wraps up in Sword of Doom # 45-47.


No Crusaders again. The last few updates have been based on material that was already in progress. The first thing I have to do convert Q files is reformat the text. To do this, I typically combine multiple posts into what turns out to be 4 updates. Once in this massive batch file form, I do the necessary find and replaces and the general formatting. Once I have the material for a single Q file converted, it gets split out into its own file.

I'm at the beginning of the whole process for Crusaders, while the other files were a bit further along. I staggered the batch files so I'm not starting more than 1 series from scratch at a time. So, I need to grab all the separate files for the next few Crusader updates, roughly posts #57-67, combine then and then edit. (It makes sense to do large files considering the number of Find and Replaces I have to do, so I don't have to do that step as often.)

At any rate, I'll have one or two Crusaders files in the next Q update!

Here's a rain drenched Q Files update for those of us in Isabel's path!

Crusaders are back with Crusaders #57-59! The separate plot strands start to tie together and Imperial is back!

It's the next to last file for Lost Heroes! LH #54-56 wraps up the alien attack and a surprise visitor arrives at Alpha Base!

The Seekers go down the shaft and Zynara has a surprsing development in The Frontier #89-90!

The Company explores Karn's Keep within an inch of its life and the true nature of the quest is revealed in Sword of Doom #48!

Enjoy!

A small D&D Q Files update!

The Seekers regroup after the birth of Zynara's baby and Pad tests his theories about the Pillars out in Frontier #91-92. Only 9 more posts until this game catches up to the beginning of the New Frontiers game!

Elsewhere, the Company of the Sword takes a trip via their own Pillar Artifact-- and it's not to some place nice! That and more in Sword of Doom #49-50.

Enjoy!
