Avernum Escape From the Pit free download

I remember the time I was at a party, celebrating with some people I barely knew, and left early because I wanted to go clear out the thieves' guild in Waterdeep and get a level for my main hero, a ranger names Xerxes (yes, I'm an unoriginal bastard, and a nerd, and an antisocial loser - I might just as well have gone back to my mom's basement, except that I was paying the mortgage and my mom lives in California). I fondly remember the first time I played through that classic game. Many of you have probably played Baldur's Gate. What they have is some of the absolute finest computer role-playing games you'll ever play. They don't try to blow your mind with sexy graphics and amazing cut scenes, they don't trim out their games with gallons of extra crap meant to get their price tags to sixty clams, and they don't have a huge budget for sound effects. They make arguably the best indie RPGs available on your computer, and have been doing it for almost 20 years. If you've been around a while, you may already be familiar with Spiderweb Software. I want to tell you about Avernum: Escape from the Pit, which is simply spectacular, but decidedly single-player.

And while I have really enjoyed many of the games we've been playing, I'm not writing tonight to tell you about any of them. Or, more accurately, I bought myself an iPad for my birthday, and got one for my dad so we could play games even though he lives halfway across the country from me.
