Dungeon Master Forum

Damn kids these days, with their punk-choo-ay-shun and their smart-alecky mouths... what's the world coming to, I tell ya. Back in my day we didn't have these fancy com-pyou-ters and inner-net... if we wanted to talk about dungeons we had to walk 80 miles in snow up to our eyeballs... and we LOVED it!

Nah... the conversation here is much more intelligent than you'd find most places... I agree this particular subject matter is universal.

I think the quotes are a close call and can serve a purpose. [...] 'Drop in unexpectedly' has a very special meaning and the quotes are meant to indicate that the words have much more than their usual meaning. Yeah, but the quotes aren't needed to show that there is a double-meaning... I wouldn't h...

I disagree that there is nothing wrong with the quotes (the single quotes are only slightly less inappropriate than the double)... but I will try to restrain my knee-jerk reactions.

He's just an old and poor fellow! Imagine him, sitting all day, alone, in the most deep cell of the dungeon, nothing to do, nobody to talk to...

No one to pick his nose! No one to tickle his toes!

And he/she is 'cranky' too. Always clearing his/her sinuses at visitors. How unpleasant. Too bad there isn't a Clariton bomb. The poor, lonely thing would probably turn into a shaggy dog and try to lick everyone to death. :lol: P.S. I can't believe I hadn't thought of the 'freeze life' boxes, so I ...

Yeah! Stupid dragon!

I think 'inappropriate' is the more appropriate word [...]

It is not a quotation.

Yeah that seems more appropriate now that you mention it.

P.S. I think the word unnecessary would be more correct than inappropriate. I think inappropriate is the more appropriate word... un-necessary implies that the grammar is still technically correct with the quotes (which it isn't). If I had written the above sentence as follows: I think "inappr...

Definitely the easiest way to go about learning how to RTC-edit, in my mind, though I wouldn't call it "hacking".

That has a long hall, plus a large section of floor outside that hall, and a nice room with a water fountain to the left (to boot). This was my favorite "later" place to "drop" everything in neat little piles. Yeah, and "outside" the screamer "room" on level ...

The fire protection spell was a benefit to me, when I played it before. I sometimes intentionally killed my team, and fireballs seemed to hurt less when the fire shield was used (especially the higher power levels of it). Now I'm going to have to "test" to make sure. Poor, Little, Me. :cr...

zokathra doesn't disappear in my experience (I played the original ST version when it came out, like a lot of others here)... using them to help find your way around is among the oldest of DM tips. You won't have to drop a zillion of them everywhere if you only drop them near junctions (you don't ne...

I could host some stuff.

k - just curious, should be plenty. Glad to hear it's working out (except for conflux bugs).

How big is the drive?

Your problems sound like bugs to me.

Did you install to the laptop's hard drive?

Okay, maybe not ANY piece of crap....

No, get the 360, and pick up a USB stick for $10-$20.

Damn, you need a computer! Any old piece of crap will do... I found the biggest problem with him is that he gets overweight too easily, Yeah, you gotta ration food to him or he'll eat everything, the fat bastard :P Hmmm... I'm sure there must be a way of playing it portably. Do you have a USB stick?...

Thanks for the post! It's been a while - there doesn't seem to be anyone playing Conflux anymore at the moment. But I might just load it up and look around for that thorn...

Yeah, I know I avoided some of the key-wasting opportunities, but still... what's with all the iron and gold keys? I can explain the emmys easily enough (4 or 5 of them can be used to open a seemingly useless shortcut between the apprentice area (I think) and the top of the emmy forest stairs), but ...

Geez I sure have a lot of extra keys, considering I'm supposed to have done almost everything. I have more than a full bag each of iron and gold keys, about 6 emmys, 2 sar, 1 turqoise, 1 sapphire, 2 onyx... and I don't even have Iaido in my party.

lol I don't think anyone would have expected you to do that, unless you expected to count 175 points over someone else's 174 when both scrolls said 174. In a competition everyone should be scored on the same benchmark, which obviously should be what the scroll says, in this case. Forget about adding...

Well I have 170 points and you have 175, but 2 scrolls + 1 funereal + 1 llask adds up to 4 points. 175-170=5. 5-4 = 1 point I can't account for.

I can't beat that, unless you missed some stuff. You have 2 more scrolls, 1 more flask and the funereal thorn, plus one point I can't account for.

Zyx can you confirm 175 is the best score possible?

Hmmm, maybe. Not sure I would have ever done it by accident conflux 3, though, but maybe I'm an exception.

In conflux 2, well... it sounds too easy. I suppose there must be a limitation that prevents one from getting it too early?

Quest? There is no quest, there is a hint on how to get it, that retro-actively you can realises is a hint on the cerberus Yeah, I still don't know what hint everyone was talking about... You can now see why many people have told others not to think about ti and it will come later :shock: Actually,...

Well, just don't get thrown off by the conflux2 forums, that's all I have to say - I'd said too much already. By the way, I found out what "anger" the face wants. I actually got unbelievably lucky with trial and error, but it makes total sense - a classic type of item riddle - I forget if ...

Did the fiery cerberus quest get deleted from Conflux 3? I just spent a couple of hours reading the results of a site-wide search for "cerberus", and it confused the hell outta me. So I decided to try my own thing, and voilà! Fiery Cerberus! But all the hints I read in the Conflux 2 forums...

No, I'm thinking I forgot to trigger something to meet him this time because I don't remember fighting him., edit: And I'm pretty sure that's where the funereal thorn comes from. Edit: Wrong again! I must have killed the thorn dragon after all because I found a huge pile of thorns in that area on th...
