In the early 1990s game publisher SSI was churning up RPGs based on Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and was the leader in that area. But the ADnD license was going to expire and relations with its owner TSR were getting progressively sour. Something new was needed. Thus Thunderscape: the World of Aden was born.Aden used to be a peaceful world where rulers were secretly guided toward bright future by a group of seers. Armies and weapons still existed, but large wars were a thing of the distant past. The discovery of a magic-boosting metal — manite — allowed a number of scientific breakthroughs and precipitated industrial revolution with magic and technology tied into a strange arcane art of mechamagic. In hindsight that was the golden age.It all was changed one unremarkable day ten years ago. The sun was suddenly eclipsed by an unknown force. The darkness didn't last long, but in this short time nightmarish monsters — "nocturnals" — sprang from every shadow. Beasts long destroyed, terrors only imagined, and things no sane mind had ever contemplated all became real. Countless thousands were slaughtered and an untold number of villages and cities were burned. In hours Aden was plunged into chaos and anarchy. This event and the malevolent force behind it have been dubbed "Darkfall".After a millennium of peace people were ill-prepared for this ruthless onslaught, and it seemed that mortals would perish without ever knowing the cause. But the people of Aden are hardier than that. With mechamagic, steam golem warriors and the many other strengths brought to bear by the nations of Aden, the world fights back against the Darkfall and its nocturnals.Two computer games for MS-DOS, three novels and a D6/Masterbook tabletop role-playing game were released. By the time they were published SSI has already been bought by Mindscape. The new owner, allowed to finish the projects, but then cancelled everything. In 2012 the rights were acquired by Kyoudai Games, which ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for a new tabletop RPG, this time a Pathfinder one. It has been released in 2014.The video games were published in 1995 less than a month apart. They bore little semblance (other than mentioning Darkfall), were set on the opposite sides of the continent and featured unrelated plots. For years they stayed Abandonware, but were picked up by GOG.com in 2014. They are: World of Aden: Thunderscape frequently called just Thunderscape: A first-person real-time 3D RPG with turn-based combat. A group of heroes are sent to restore magic shields on mountain passes between Northland and nocturnal-infested area. Charitable reviewers compare it with Ultima Underworld, less kind recall Descent to Undermountain. Entomorph: Plague of the Darkfall: A Three-Quarters View action/adventure with alleged RPG elements. A lone hero tries to save the island kingdom of Phoros from some sinister plot involving giant sentient insects, transformations and Mind Control. Can be described as a grimmer, high-resolution Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse. Somewhat influenced by The Legend of Zelda.The novels are: The Sentinel (1996) by Dixie Lee McKeone. A young soldier struggles to find his place in the world after escaping servitude to a tyrant. Darkfall (1996) by Shane Lacy Hensley. A paladin and his trusted friends are tasked to escort a mage through hostile territory. Their path brings them close to unveiling the biggest secret of Darkfall. Indomitable Thunder (1996) by Mark Acres. Orphaned brother and sister have fought for survival every day since childhood. They struggle to get out of their ghetto into the greater world of Aden. And then they find a cause greater than themselves. | |

Black Comedy: Quite a few examples. If you try to save a brainwashed man from being eaten by a giant ant, he attacks you for "disturbing him while while he is feeding the ants". You find a corpse under a fallen tree. He's been driven out of the village for irresponsible spellcasting and was practising a spell to make trees fall to impress villagers to be let back. | |

| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_3130e2c6 | comment |
Uplifted Animal: Ferrans — humanoid-animal hybrids. "Humanoid" being any of the five humanoid races (see Standard Fantasy Races above). Actually, there are 3 branches of ferrans: mammals (the most common), avians (nearly wiped out in their war for freedom) and reptiles (scarce due to low reproduction rate). They can only crossbreed with ferrans of the same branch. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The amount of damage your party takes when moving around is proportionate to the frames per second. With a high FPS, bigger drops (such as falling down non-lethal pits) will result in an instant Total Party Kill. Having too many items on the ground will cause the game to crash with the message "Ran out of render posts". | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable: The elevator located after the bridge in Skelon's Pass is the only way to access the upper levels of the pass (as well as all the other levels in the game). If the player takes the elevator to the upper level, then falls off the cliff to the ground level, they will not be able to call the lift down and must restart the game from a point where they can still access the elevator. | |

Amnesiac Hero | |
| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_41ba335a | comment |
Amnesiac Hero: The hero wakes on a shore barely remembering how he got there. When he comes with a plausible explanation (being thrown off a ship), he stops dwelling upon it. When he meets people he knew, he remembers them. Actually he's been thrown back in time by a time-travelling spider queen. This isn't his first attempt to save the islands. Which also explains his above-average martial prowess — he has already consumed some "juice" and got much faster and stronger. | |

Money for Nothing: Gold is used to purchase equipment and items in shops. However, there are only three shops in the entire game, the quality of their goods pale in comparison to some of the unique gear you can find strewn all over the levels, and once any character in the party has over 100 points in the Merchant skill, you will always buy low and sell high with any equipment. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Ferrans were originally created as slaves, but got their freedom after a long and bloody war. Rapacians were once considered mentally inferior. Both facts are ancient history by now. Juraks are still regarded as savage dumb brutes and usually don't bother proving otherwise. Meanwhile goreaux are bothered by taller races looking down on them, but definitely aren't Compensating for Something with their mechamagical achievements. That said, all civilized races are more or less equal and a member of any race can appear anywhere and in any capacity. On the other hand, trolls are still considered little more than animals, and everybody despises ratlings, even rodent-based ferrans. | |

Back Stab | |

Back Stab: Described in the manual as "the most effective attack of all", a backstab requires the character to successfully use their Stealth skill to hide first. On their next turn, the character can then execute the backstab, which does up to five times the normal amount of damage. | |

Dump Stat | |
| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_5d1eb74d | comment |
Dump Stat: The Pickpocket skill serves only one purpose: to steal items being sold in shops. This is not as useful as it sounds since there are very few shops in the game, the penalty for being caught stealing is to be permanently barred from entering the shop, there will always be a chance for the steal to fail regardless of how many points a character has in the Pickpocket skill, and having over 100 points in a character's Merchant skill means you will sell equipment and items for a higher price than what the shop is selling them for, essentially giving you a risk-free and consistent alternative supply of gold. | |

Permanently Missable Content: If the elevator connecting the Troll Caverns to King Droog's chambers is raised and you use the teleporter in Vanguard Keep Tower to backtrack to Skelon's Pass, all of the Vanguard Keep levels become inaccessible, which prevents you from going back to pick up any items on those levels that you may have missed. | |

At least she does protect the village as promised. Then you meet funny Obviously Evil Harmless Villains feeding people some crap. (Both metaphorical and literal.) And equally funny clueless rebels. And then your friends start getting killed. And you can't do anything. The storyteller keeps commenting your actions and arguing with his audience until the end. See also Dark Humor. | |

Forced Transformation: The hero consumes various insect-derived substances to boost his strength and slowly transforms into a giant insect. Borderline example, since he knows of the risk and willingly takes it. The sinister plot central to the game is to trick inhabitants of Phoros into drinking stuff that turns them into insects that would work for the nobility. The next step of the plan is doing the same on the continent and eventually taking over the world. The source of the transforming substance is the queen of Phoros, who got transformed by a cursed scarab planted by an agent of Darkfall. | |

Have We Met Yet?: The intro looks incomprehensible. That's because the spider travels in time. And the hero has been thrown to the past, but forgot everything. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Darkfall killed most of seers. A few disappeared without a trace. These days when a seer appears, he's probably a charlatan. Even if the seer is genuine, nobody would believe him. Except for nocturnals, who will try to kill him. | |

Escort Mission | |
| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_cfda0ecb | comment |
Escort Mission: The first half of the book is escorting a mechamage who decided to change the employer and soundly fears the retribution. The second half was going to be kidnapping a teenage prince from his father and escorting him to his mother, but unforeseen circumstances conspired to make life more interesting. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Spyre's impulsiveness created more problems for Grimlak and Narl than all enemies combined. | |

Stat-O-Vision | |
| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_e489013e | comment |
Stat-O-Vision: In combat, the Xenology skill will display information about any enemy you right-click. At lower skill levels, it only shows the enemy's name and Hit Points; higher skill levels provide a lot more information, such as the enemy's damage resistances and type of attacks. Similar to the Merchant skill, the character with the most points in Xenology will have all the benefits of their skill available to other characters in the party. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit | |
| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_f3cf30d9 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: No more than 4 player-created characters, and no more than 6 playable characters in total. Attempting to add a seventh character will cause the game to prompt you to release one of your non-player-created characters in the party. | |

| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_f97ad4fe | comment |
Standard Fantasy Races: Pretty standard humans, elves and dwarves, plus magically-inclined fairy/hobbit "faerkin" and mechanically-inclined gnome/goblin "goreaux". There are also several more animalistic races. | |

Situational Damage Attack | |
| Thunderscape (Franchise) / int_fef3305b | comment |
Situational Damage Attack: One action your characters can perform during a battle is to "Attack for Vitals", which is represented by an icon depicting an arrow through a heart. This attack is more difficult to successfully carry out, but can occasionally do tremendous amounts of damage on a Critical Hit. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You: Especially far from fortified cities. Especially at night. The authors deliberately defined nocturnals vaguely to allow very diverse enemies. | |
