Interesting stuff.

I am stuck at the very start - can't find any keys!

I'm making progress - am at the moon key door. The dungeon is sort of like what I have done before with the original DM - a moderate amount of editing with some new areas. It's pretty straightforward to play, and enough to keep me playing. It's not in the same boat of Tower of Champions, but a pretty well crafted game. Will see how it pans out.

One thing I have noticed is that my characters don't seem to get many primary stat increases when they level up. I didn't know you could edit this though so I might just be seeing things!

I've advanced pretty far, am into the castle. So far, so good:the side quests are interesting, there are a LOT of secrets to find.

If you like a dungeon where weapons and trading is your thing, you will love this!

"All weapons and armor were strengthened". Not sure this is the case, from what I can see, some of the RTC quirks with weapons remain, but the new stuff is excellent.

Trading? do you mean lots of shops, a currency. I must have a look at this.

It's DM2 as a template, but with many twists! The shops are the same, but there is one new one with a lot of unique items.

I'll give it a try, it's been so long playing 2 it will be like playing it from scratch. I wonder how much will come back to me and if I would even notice the changes. the words, "twists" "unique" pique my interest.

How about story and map, simple or complex?

Never liked DM2 much, but thought that I'd try this. Glad that I did, as I'm enjoying it. The game that DM2 should have been.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck and don't know if it's me that's missing something, a bug in the mod, or am I playing with the wrong version of RTC (I'm using the latest-RTC v.0.49).
This is where I am:

Just been through the graveyard (ran like mad and luckily found a castle-like building) and can see the clan key piece on a table with a giggler sat on top of it. Can't pick it up. What is the solution?
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

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

you need to "buy" it

Didn't see a merchant ghost. There was a worm, which I killed on sight and then saw the clan piece on the table. WTF, there's a giggler sat on top of it. He's so dead. Approached the table and no matter which side, the table kept turning, so I couldn't get the clan piece. What to do then? Tried freezing time...waste of a freeze time box. What if I set a bomb? OK. Lit a bomb and placed it on the table. Fire in the hole. Boom! The giggler was released from the table and started doing his thing. Killed the annoying little bas and thought, right, that clan piece will be mine. Jeez, the table still won't let me take it. What is one to do?
Somebody please help.

Just watched a video about this room and it showed how to make the ghost merchant appear. Hopefully, when I do this in a bit, all will be well. If so, great. If not, then I'm still stuck. A clue about what to do here would have been nice, as I probably would never have solved it. Not obvious, so very annoying.
Anyway, thanks Prince of Elves for pointing me in the right direction. Playing with an imported party and built their skills up, from knowing nowt, to almost Dungeon Master skills and then being stuck for ages in this one room by a silly puzzle. Grrrrrr.
Gonna try now and get myself un-stuck.

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. :D

Yeah, stupid puzzle with no clues. How is one to know the solution? Tried what a video showed me and it worked. Now have all 4 clan keys. My imported party is very strong, so I'm thinking of starting again and choosing from what's given. 2 all-rounders up-front and 2 magic specialists behind. I must say that I am enjoying this mod, even though I didn't care much for DM2.
Thanks for replying, Prince of Elves.
