Dungeon Master Forum

That sounds about right. I guess everyone has to decide what they really need, what they want on top of that and what is optional and then decide by that which system suits them best. If Windows gets even more on my nerves, I myself will probably migrate to Linux but I'm not there yet.

With your expertise I suppose you already looked into Linux too. Depends on what you want and need of course, but modern Linux systems have become quite user friendly and their RAM usage is still way below Windows systems. I know that Blender specifically can almost double your render speed with hal...

Made my day, where can I subscribe to pre-order the early access version? That will be half finished, never updated, full price as is usual these days, of course. I'd be offended if it wasn't.

There is one thing to consider: judging from the optics it's definitely a remake, not a port. So it MAY be that this particular riddle is not properly implemented. If that is the case, you can try all you want to no avail of course...

Hi Gambit, I'm from Germany so I'm not sure about available keyboard layouts, and we don't use cams, so I'm not sure about those either, but my lady did some Blender and bought a laptop that met those requirements at least (been a few years, so not sure about the prices nowadays either, with the cra...

Lol, never considered myself as... random.

I never bothered about getting into that upgrade war in the first place. Started gaming (well: again, after my Atari ST days) with the GameCube when it was already clear that it won't be the current one for much longer - and I got a PS2 when PS3 was almost making way for PS4... :D Started PC gaming ...

i think it depends on what the modder intends. If it fits the rest of the game's concept that you go in restricted, that's fine by me. Though maybe there should be an option to get the runes otherwise, both for those that can't be bothered looking for them and for those that give up. Maybe put a sec...

Been years since I played it and I don't remember anymore how or why I got to the right solution myself (no internet back then for me). But it took me long enough to stay in memory even after all the time.

I vaguely remember a situation from the original one where the clan piece always moves to the table side opposite to you. There was a merchant ghost involved too, but not sure if you only saw him after finding the solution. If it is like that one

Spoiler

you need to "buy" it

Apparently I'm the first to answer... First things first: Both images look absolutely awesome. :) For the rest, let me state that I'm not as much of a DM enthusiast as many others here: I've played it originally on a friend's Amiga in the mid-nineties and maybe a couple of times on RTC and maybe DSB...

What do you need a flask in hand for if you don't do potions "at all"?

a way to rearrange your champions That is the purpose of the four champion icons in the top right corner. To swap two champions, click on the first one, then click on the second one. I think it was about rearranging their "number" (and thus their fighting slots) rather than the battle pos...

I don't think it's for "too dumb players". Because a) the succession of the runes is always shown on the side, b) by the time a player reaches master they should be pretty familiar with the runes and c) they trusted us to figure out most of the spells on our own too.

Haha yeah same for me. :D I loved the outsides (and outer caves) of DM2, spent hours levelling my ninja skills shooting through that grate door in the bat cave. I hated most of the castle itself and never managed the final boss because I couldn't be arsed to open that gate and get over the bloody cl...

It should because I remember someone telling me back then he power levelled by leaving the game on with a joystick on auto-fire through the night.

Hey Sophia, that is soo cool! Sadly, I'm too lazy to play DSB right now, but I'd love to buy some of your pre-done coins. I guess you can guarantee a nice value boost for them?

Ah, thanks a lot. Now it works fine again, will change my bookmarks too, though.

Latest development on the "not secure" front: After the last update, Firefox seems to have decided that this site isn't safe for me to visit anymore. :P So the "remember me" won't work anymore and though I get asked if I want to save the access data via Firefox, I can't use those...

Happy Birthday Chaos Shaman

Over a hundred years and still playing, that's quite a feat. So doubly Happy New Year to you.

Happy birthday from me too!

Hehe, yeah that's where I dropped out of the game too. The backtracking in the tree labyrinth was bad enough already and the snail was the last nail in the coffin for me.

Though there seems to be less activity in the forum, the number of visitors seems to be higher lately, but mostly guests so less interaction (is there a reason for this?... anyone?) I can only talk for myself there, but I've noticed that the whole social distancing stuff seems to get in my head. Ea...

Just nudging in here a bit, but that one sparked my interest: Anyway, beyond the technical problems, to me the main gameplay issue with an immobile chest is that it's basically moving inventory interaction to the main view, which creates some UX problems because that is not where it usually happens....

I don't know if that causes the issue, but ToC is packed to the very amount of what RTC can take with items, mechanics and stuff. So maybe you hoarded too much, though I think Adamski put in guards against that...

There is ONE Mario Kart for the N64, yeah, as I think there was one for every single Nintendo since they first came up with it.

Prince of Elves: Did you ever go back to Conflux? Or have you ever checked out Might and Magic??? Sadly, no. There's so many games out there these days and they take up even more time than the good old ones... Blame Ameena for getting me into one of those. ;) Playing ARK right now (Steam title, Ame...

Tower of Champions, Underworld Dreams (both by Adamski);
The Trail by Saumun;
and Conflux by Zyx (though not RTC, that one).

I think those are the "must play"s. Though The Trail is the only one of them I actually find manageable.

Well, your skeleton has changed too and got standing ovations, so it's not solely about the changes. ;) By the way, the corridor suddenly looks way cooler with the Screamers hanging everywhere, so if you want to go for a dimension-warping, I'd actually recommend that very floor and ceiling design. Y...

I often wonder if it's a mistake to start showing things to people... so many opinions :D :wink: That can indeed become a problem when you do that too early in your process. It can make quite a dent in your creativity flow. But I think you got your bases covered: I should stress that this is a crea...
