Dungeon Master Forum

Cool! Downloaded it and looking forward to playing it soon

Enjoy it while you can.. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090312/tuk ... a1618.html

I've now completed it too - I had 300+ health, 100+ mana and, er, 30 stamina at the end which I agree was a bit surreal (the ending, not the stamina). Overall I would give this one 8/10 - it certainly had me hooked, especially at the start. Lots of nice touches such as the lower case inscriptions an...

If you haven't got the gold key you won't have found the moon item yet. I nearly chucked away the Sun item. 25 is the percentage chance of the pad closing the pit when an object lands on it. One of the gold coins involves a 20 per cent pad. One of the coins is right opposite a keyhole. I thought the...

If you do a search on Vitality you will see that what George has implemented in RTC may or may not be what was intended in the original game - in CSBWin it is an important stat for wizards so maybe more about Mana recovery than stamina (?) Back to Nightkin - I didn't take any of the extra characters...

Moon Child by M83 has been used on Top Gear...

Hard but addictive - I like it

The little room right at the start? The scroll tells you EXACTLY what to do!

Gonna give this one a blast now.

@Zed - do you have a "proper" job?

You might like the Nintendo samples here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PN7DNY06 - MP3 format, sorry not ID3 tagged.

It was OK on the next try - a mummy got toasted instead

RTC crashed when I tried to walk past the fireball holes down the stairs behind the skeleton in the room with the 6 bashable doors. Will try again - nothing wrong with a "lite" dungeon

I agree - an honest review is the best thing a dungeon designer can receive. I never had a review of my (now rather old) dungeon Angel's Egg, though elsewhere on the forum Trant said he might do one.

When playing with four characters I like to use the classic "subtle" attack method - the front two bashing away with melee weapons whilst the back two let 'em have it with fireballs!

Throwing stuff is for low levels or when you run out of mana

I used to be open-minded about Creationism and Intelligent Design, but after getting involved in a discussion on a different internet forum this changed. I ended up reading a lot of Creationist websites featuring so-called scientists such as Walter Brown and Barry Setterfield. After this I became to...

I tested it used a series of doors with 1% increments on bash percent, and as far as I can tell, weapons make no difference, it's just done on strength.

A 100% door needs 255 strength to bash, a 50% door needs 128, a 25% door 64 etc.

Ah yes, it could be the gelding of the Stone Club which happened a few versions ago. I will test it out at the weekend.

Just watched the new Futurama movie "Bender's Game" which is a Dungeons and Dragons spoof. I thought it was very funny but not everyone agrees, see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054486/

Hi all - my first post for a while.. I received an email query about my custom dungeon Angel's Egg RTC http://www.sholing.force9.co.uk/angel.htm recently to do with a door that won't open. In the weapons room on level 1 a golem guards a door which Arnie can break down with his starting strength, but...

I've heard there *is* going to be an Elric movie, but this isn't it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ycjun-J9iY

I'd love to see a movie made around Piers Anthony's Xanth novels, and for a 3-hour epic, how about Thomas Covenant?

Hmm. well I started this thread.... So here's what I did. The secret URL to the Angel's Egg maps is found on a scroll in The Golden Void. I put it there because the map of level 10 enables you to escape from the Void quickly (otherwise it's a sod). Trouble is you only end up there if it all goes hor...

Had another go, up to 3470.2m

2136m

I enjoyed playing EOB 1,2 and 3 on the Amiga. In gameplay terms it was a mistake to mimic AD&D (especially the magic system) but in sales terms it was a great idea to ensare D&D fans. Of course people on this forum are biased, but I do seriously think DM is a much better designed and more or...

Just watched Beowulf on DVD - cracking movie! I was particularly impressed with how they got Beowulf to mate with Grendel's mum. You don't see her (apart from a tentacle) until Beowulf confronts her, then you get Angelina Jolie, starkers with liquid gold running all over her body. Make a dragon? Yea...

I used to play D&D in the 80s and Gygax was revered like a god.

It says here http://www.newsweek.com/id/118775 that the old, sick Gygax still played D&D regularly right up to his death. Unfortunately he didn't quite get his missus up enough cleric levels in time...

I think this execrable vid must have been made by an Obama fan...

His Dark Materials hits the silver screen either as The Golden Compass or the Norhtern Lights depending on where you are. I hope to see this one (and Beowulf too) at the cinema soon.

The new Beowulf move http://www.beowulfmovie.com/ looks promising. It will have to go some to beat the superb Stardust for best fantasy movie of 2007. Unless you count 300 which is sort of half historical epic half fantasy (especially the monsters).
