Hi Jason and all, Just because someone talks about game music doesn't make it necessarily on topic. Generally the moderators, Raul and myself, try to keep this list focused on known accessible games, and discussions of upcoming game releases. We also allow discussions of how to make some mainstream games accessible, and from time to time allow brief discussions on some development of accessible games, but usually direct the development aspects to blind programming or to agdev-newbies lists. There are cases where the subject matter is boarderline on and off topic For example, in recent discussions it was necessary to explain some history from the Harry Potter books to give light on Sarah. While it is not fully on topic since it helps the gamer it might be allowed. However, since then many side topics about Harry Potter popped up which has nothing to do with the game, and I have been closing those topics down as I see they are straying to far off the original subject and game. I believe with games that use a known story and universe like Star wars, Harry Potter, or Star Trek those not versed in the entire history of those stories will have questions related to the game that can only be answered in the history or general story. For example, my Star Wars game takes place just after Revenge of the Sith, and several years before New Hope. The premis is largely based on the book Rise of Darth Vader in which the author states not all the Jedi were killed and that several survived the great purge, and escaped in to hiding after recieving Yoda's orders to go into hiding. One of these new characters is Olee Starstone who not only survived Order 66 carried out in Revenge of the Sith, but was one of those in the book who managed to escape Darth Vader. Since I am playing in a virtually undocumented area of Star wars history there are might be lots of historical questions come up on the subject, and many could wonder where I got my historical info etc. Of course, I will likely be making miner changes in my own story when Jedi Twilight comes out which has lots of good info on what happened to the surviving Jedi after Rise of Darth Vader which continues Vader's hunt for the Jedi.
