What's this mission? (Teleported far (another galaxy?), city with lots of water, NPC ends w/ VISOR)

Sometime earlier this year (2016), I played a mission or a series that I'd like to replay. But I don't remember the name, the author, or even most of the story. I know its one of those missions where players are transported (via portal? not sure) to a very far point in space. Maybe another galaxy. There's another ship, or at least a crew of NPCs, that join the player. At the end, players have to go through a city with lots of deep water canals and pools. It's Venice-like. (I remember falling into one and had to restart the mission to get out.) I think it's at night. At the end, you enter a building, then travel down a deep rectangular pit using ramps. The purpose is to a activate the device the creates the portal or whatever it is that leads home. Then, players have to climb back out. One of the guest characters (a senior officer) is blinded and, after you return, ends up wearing a VISOR. I believe there's a ceremony fro those characters killed during the mission.

Any ideas?

The plot you're describing sounds familiar. Did the maps look anything like these?





I want to be sure that these are the maps you're talking about before I jump to any conclusions.

Yes!!!!

Then the series in question is one of mine, Omnitabula 1, 2 and 3. The series is withdrawn since I've yet to have time to see how they stood up in lighting 2.0 (was busy with other projects).

Would you like me to republish them now? ( if so I'd recommend replaying them in lighting 1.0 ).

Actually I'm gonna go and start checking them out now. I could use a little break from my other projects.

I would like to play them. And I can switch lightings, if need be. Please post here when they're available. And thank you. Even though I only remember part of the story, I remember liking it a lot. And I was amazed by the maps.

All three parts have been republished.

hauriant

Thank you.

Played through the whole thing last night. It goes in so many different directions, but ends up in a coherent path. If anyone else is checking out this thread, Omnitabula is a mission series to play. (If one likes long, story driven missions. Also, fans of complex map builds will like it, too.) I was sorry I wasn't able to donate anything, with comments being turned off. Thank you for making this available, again.

Glad you liked it.
