Part 0 - Setting Ground Rules Hello. :^) For a while now, I've been thinking about doing an all-female (plus Marth, because a) doing the Prologue would be completely impossible without being able to use someone during it, and b) I really don't want to have to drag around complete deadweight on every map) run of Shadow Dragon as a fun challenge. And now that I've actually started in on it in a fit of boredom, I thought I'd post about it here so that maybe you fine folks would find my struggles to beat Shadow Dragon while letting the ladies do almost all the work entertaining. (Also, posting about the run will help keep me honest about sticking to the rules for this challenge.) Anyway, the exact rules for this challenge run are as follows: Only female characters (and Marth) are allowed to attack the enemy. Any male character can take hits while unarmed and be used to block the enemy's path (though I will try not to rely on that second part too often). Wrys can heal until Lena is recruited. (Because not having a healer just sucks, and it's not like it takes that long for Lena to show up.) Thieves can open doors and chests. (This will help reduce unnecessary tedium, plus keeping them alive while unarmed to make use of them will add to the challenge.) All female characters must be recruited. (Yes, this includes Norne and Athena. Blood will be shed to achieve this.) Breaking any of these rules or letting any of the female characters die are grounds for a reset. (I'm going to be starved for combat units as it, I'm not letting any of the ones I can use stay dead.) This run will be on Normal difficulty, partly because I don't feel like using a hacked version of the rom to be able to get Norne outside of that difficulty and partly because I think the other limitations will be challenge enough for me. Also, don't expect a detailed recounting of the game's story to be included with this Let's Play - I'll be focusing on the gameplay pretty much exclusively. As of writing this, I've already finished running through the Prologue chapters, so expect a post detailing the happenings there in the next day or so. After that, I'm not sure how often I'll be updating this - I have Tactic Ogre Reborn on order to arrive tomorrow, so that will be taking up most of my game playing hours in the near future, but sneaking in the occasional chapter of FE 11 wouldn't take up too much time.

Hello, So I've been following Klok's FE7 hack for awhile and finally got it and have started playing it. Needless to say it is fun as hell. The mods he made really make for some different strategies and the fact that everyone is useable is also great. I'm doin a mostly female run since I feel like they have not been popular choices by the other lps and some seem amazing (Isadora and Priscilla especially). I will also use the trio of Hector, Eliwood, and Lyn in addition to Marcus because it seemed pretty difficult to do the beginning with no healer. Also thieves will be used and I did use Lowen, Oswin, and guy early game because you really don't get too many females early and I'm lame :P Anyways here is the team (in no particular order): Hector Eliwood Lyn Priscilla Nino Isadora Serra Rebecca Fiora Florina Farina Ninian I think that is 12 but Vaida, Louise, Leila, and Karla will also be considered. (I don't think I forgot any females other than Lucius ) I use savestates and don't care about turns, just a casual and fun run! Also I'm on chapter 18 I believe right now so a bunch of chapters are incoming.
