Dungeon Master Forum

I spoke with my daughter today and mentioned my avatar. She had forgotten, but was pleased that her girl had chosen to be a wolf.
As soon as I mentioned Wuuf, she laughed and said, "Yeah, I remember Wuuf."
All together: Good daughter, good daughter.

Happy Halloween y'all!! :twisted: ..which is also a bit of a Dungeon Master Remembrance Day, seeing as how much mummies are out there. Since anything is possible nowadays..I'm wondering how much people ..if any..are dressing up as purple worms with screamers at their side. And is there maybe a sing...

Paul Stevens said, "Screamers happen when you step on the pad just outside the room. Oitus happen when you step off the pad in front of the three doors. " This is why I mentioned that you needed to stay in front of the door/doors. I didn't know the regeneration plate was at that exact loc...

Thanks Paul. I'll have to spend some time in the area, building a rat farm. Ha.

P.S. Any 'limit' to how many can regenerate?

hansblieb: Looks like there is a hesitation in response time between the casting and the resulting response.
Have you enjoyed the gameplay? Does it have the same feel as the original?

That 'spot' at the upper-left of the rat room regenerates rats? Do they regenerate each time you step on that spot according to the map that is actually the spot where the pain rats regenerate (35,05). The trigger for this seems to be at the coordinates: 37,19..at the junction leading to the rat ro...

Thanks Ameena. https://sourceforge.net/projects/steemsse/ I downloaded the emulator. I don't have any games loaded, so that may be the problem, but it tells me I'm missing a driver file. I'll play around with this for awhile, when I have the time. If I can't seem to figure it out, I'll contact you.

I was wondering...how do you get the rat room to fill up with rats? There is a rat generator near the rat room: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/142 That said, I sometimes had difficulty generating enough rats to keep my champions fed at this spot. Maybe there is a delay after activating this before it...

Ameena said, "I wouldn't want a spoken-dialogue version of Monkey Island. I prefer imagining how the characters sound in my head. I don't know if the third game had spoken dialogue as I never played that one but I played the fourth and I found Guybrush's voice kind of annoying. And Elaine's.&qu...

Taking on one odd oitu elsewhere in the level was never an issue four of you against one oitus..no wonder the spiders are angry with you if you are singling out their weak like this ;) I was wondering...how do you get the rat room to fill up with rats? I only realized it was a rat room when I tried...

I never could clear out the oitus room the way I could clear the pain rat room. I always ran out of mana, or got surrounded and killed if I tried to fight with just weapons. Taking on one odd oitu elsewhere in the level was never an issue, I could kill them with just daggers, but when you go into t...

Christophe is right, take a Grog-O-Mint and head over to the ScummBar to apply to become a mighty pirate. Commandeer a graceful ship with a trustworthy crew, hoard riches like never before, meet the love of your life and become the King of Monkey Island (not all of the aforementioned guaranteed to ...

:o too Monkey Island is to adventure games what Dungeon Master is to RPG. Not the first, not the best but a turning point, an excellent balance of ingredients that make it an unforgettable landmark. Stop reading this and play it now! :o three. I'm really scratching my head. Cows comes back for one ...

So, only now, do I realize that my entire life has been nothing but a huge WASTE!

RE: Making of Monkey Island.

I had not heard of Monkey Island before Cowsmanaut mentioned it here.
Was it a very popular game? I looked at some videos and watched some of the 'making' of it, as well.

STEEM. I am at a loss about what to do to 'get' STEEM. I haven't used an emulator for decades. I would actually have to be 'led by the hand' to be able to even use a DOSBOX nowadays.

Perhaps I should be sending out personal notes, rather than placing this type of communication on the forums?

Guess I was too busy trying to put the Oitus gang out of MY misery, to pay any attention to any of the (idiosyncrasies) oddities of their bodies.

Terkio said, "I see it is available on abandonware-france.org for download. Should work with a Windows running DOS box. There are many other sites compiling old games, giving downloads, to look for Ishar 1/2/3." https://www.abandonware-france.org/ltf_ ... &fic=liens I looked at the aba...

Oitus look kind of like an orange spider but with only four legs Look closer... Before they attack, a person might not notice the two front legs (they do seem smaller, don't they?). Just realized slickrcbd posted as I was posting, so I edited. Mandibles? Yipes! Mean looking creature, to be sure. Am...

Oitus look kind of like an orange spider but with only four legs I remember having some trouble with this area the first time through, but I don't have all that much trouble now with one champion. If you make sure the door remains closed, plus make sure the two grate-doors are closed as soon as pos...

Terkio: I looked it up. Wow! It was like an upgraded Bard's Tale 1. It looks interesting. This is #3. Are the first two available and interesting?
Did anyone mention where this could be downloaded or purchased?

By the way, oh_brother, have you ever gone to the bottom level (the long stairway with the winged-key on the wall) to train? I know the place you mean, but I have never trained there. If I ever try to get to Archmaster I will start spell-slinging in that spot, but for a fun bit of grinding I still ...

Anybody able to find any pictures or videos about 'this' Ishar?
I looked on UTube, but didn't notice anything there. Curious.

I saw one of my characters at Archmaster level, but only because I checked when he was wearing a Pendant Feral and holding the Firestaff. Ironically, it was Halk, who was an Archmaster Wizard because of his equipment! --Jay Both oh_brother and you mentioned the pendant feral raising your levels. I ...

Thanks from me, as well, Sophia. I've always hesitated to use bombs in the past, so only used the 'pile everything in front of you' method once, I believe. It was fun. It seems I was able to kill the dragon with two long-lasting freeze-time boxes, using poison clouds or fire blasts in quick successi...

Cowsmanaut said, "..."back" is a big word.. but I'll try to poke my head in more often."

Where are my nitro pills???

Beo and Now Cows???

So pleased to see you guys poke your heads in, even if it's occasionally.

Hope life has been good, Cows. How is everyone doing at home?

I've been thinking about some of my experiences with older games. I guess it might not be in the DM genre, but Bard's Tale (The original) gave me so many hours of enjoyment, the first time through. Years later, a young kid had the game and asked if I knew anything about it. I rented the game for abo...

starting to feel sorry for the poor dragon, he never knew what hit him with your nine step kill plan. Maybe we should start giving him a fighting chance at times. :) I have always felt sorry for that poor dragon, starting with the sadness to see it looks like a Tyrannosaurus. And although I realize...

I seem to remember the bombs are almost always (maybe always?) Mon level. I suppose the bombs have the benefit of being placed in every hand (other than the freeze box hand), then grabbed and tossed, losing almost no time. It takes a little time to place all the runes in your spell, then waiting to ...
