A whisker before the beginning of the grand month of April, this superfluous introduction will promptly introduce you to a eclectic collection of budding modifications created enthusiastically by intriguing members of this antique modding community. Yes, ahem, that didn’t sound as good as I had hoped.

If relationships were numbers...
...then macholy’s Relationship modification version 1.5 will give you such a number. This neat little modification quantifies the relationship between the protagonist and any NPC. Simple, and simple. If only real life relationships could be summarised in just one number, numbers would be the talk of the world (as long as it is not about the Global Financial Crisis)! But until then, check the modification out here.

You know you want a Hackmaster +12
Interpret it any way you want, because that doesn’t stop Konalan’s Tweaks from including the new, mint-condition, straight-out-of-the-factory Hackmaster +12 © 2009 Konalan. Go here to place your order. Who knows, if you PM him, he might offer you a free set of steak knives… for chopping steak, of course.

...and my arxe!
See dwarves with a new sartorial eye with Erephine’s Dwarven female avatars. This One Pixel Productions addition proves just how a set of sexy paperdolls can shed light into the mysteries of the short folk. Check out this cool modification here, and no, the paperdolls are not obstructed by the crenellations at Helm’s Deep.

Lost and found
Yes, it seems that I neglected to announce a very subtly released modification last fortnight. This modification is BGSpawn, a spawn system modification for Baldur’s Gate Trilogy-WeiDU that presents a unique take on randomly spawning creatures in the Sword Coast. If you are looking for some surprises, this modification may well fill you plate. Get it here.
