Half Truth is a very well-done scenario. In the beginning, there are
several quests that are easier to complete; the quests get more difficult
as the game progresses. One thing common to all quests is that they help
to further reveal the Half Truth story - there are no irrelevant "side
quests" - and many of them are essential to completing the game.

One of the best things about this scenario is its eerie mood. This
scenario gives a very ominous feeling that only becomes more intense as
you progress through the story. The creative use of sound and special
encounters make it a truly unique scenario - I've seen things in it that
I've never before seen in a Realmz scenario. A new tileset - the Glooms,
which depict a world run red with blood - are the perfect touch for the
final quest of the scenario.

The scenario itself is not epic but you'll still need a couple of weeks
to complete it. The quests are not impossible (although I got stumped on
a couple of them) and are actually fun to complete; they help to flesh
out the storyline and prepare you for the endgame. Its originality,
compelling story and eerie mood help make this one of my favorite Realmz
scenarios to date.

Ever had a day when you could do no wrong? Every thing attempted worked,
everyone appreciated all your efforts... you felt that you were making a
difference?

Then there were those days when no matter how much effort, care and thought
you applied, that it was of no avail? Things went from bad to worse anyway?

And how about those days that made absolutely no sense? Those days that
left you without a clue or glimmer of understanding?

Welcome to Half Truth!

With great graphics and sound effects, challenging puzzles and deep plot
all tied into an immersive semi-Celtic world of conquest, adventure and
evil, Half Truth pushes the creative edge out another notch.

A unique blend of Celtic magic, intrigue, and humor.  Full of unexpected
events which involve you deep in a new world, blossoming with myth and
fantasy.  Can you handle the Truth?

There is no background for this scenario. You arrive in a strange land knowing nothing.

You will come across some unusual words, place names, and expressions in the scenario. Most of these are Cornish, some are Welsh and some Irish. I will produce a language guide to accompany the scenario in the coming months for those with an interest in Celtic lore and language.

My beta testing team did a superb job of helping me track down and eliminate bugs and typos.

They are: Isaac Charon, Skip Meier, David Lavender, Hamlin Krewson, Matt Edwards, Darrell Zaneski, Martin Stack, & Jason Shore.

Many people on the Divinity Guild who answered questions and shared their thoughts.
