Dungeon Master Forum

I was just reminiscing about Dungeon Master with some folks in a Discord community and mentioned this forum in conversation, and then wondered if the forum was still here and active, and ... it is! Just wanted to say I hope everyone is doing well. It's been a minute

*turns up out of nowhere*

*disappears again*

Oh, you know me, popping in every few years... or at least that's what it seems like...?

I'll try to stick around a bit better this time! I'm just really bad at keeping up with things these days...

I'M NOT DEAD YET!

Well, I'm back because I was talking to a game dev friend of mine about Dungeon Master and how ahead of its time it was and how solid its design is and, oh, you know, the usual fanatical fangirl conversation. I have apparently convinced him that he needs to play it, so tomorrow he's coming over to ...

Haha! You remember me, too, Ameena?

Yes, I am still writing. We both are. I've actually had two stories published in the past year too (it's been a big year for me!) and fingers crossed that more will follow. BFS has started taking his writing very seriously so we are hoping he'll get published ...

Yes! Actually, BloodFromStone and I got married last fall. I was looking through my old posts just now and saw one he made about my 21st birthday. It has been a while, hasn't it? :) I hope you're all doing well.

I think Legend of Grimlock is what brought DM up in conversation. I'm definitely going ...

It's been approximately a bazillion years since I last posted on this forum, but somebody got me started talking about Dungeon Master today and that led me back here (since he was like "what? speed runs in 15 minutes? you've got to be joking." and I had to prove him wrong by linking to your ...

No, cause I brought it halfway back on topic! Oh-HO! Take that!

Neener neener.

Brown hair, blue outfit - you really can't wrong with that for Selie. But yeah, maybe I'll change my icon to something. I should draw a new picture to use for icons. Otherwise you'll all be stuck with my butterfly fairy pictures. HOHOHO.

I'll play DM, really I will. Only if you keep talking about ...

BTW yes. Brown hair. ^_^

Some day I'll get past the purple worms in CSB. When I get past the purple worms in DM. If I did. Which I don't remember. If I did or not, that is.

DM THIS SUMMER I SWEAR REALLY

I actually wrote this awesome hilarious post last week and it was one of the funniest things I'd ever written, at least ...

Ameena, has anyone ever told you that you're insane in a good way? XD These are -awesome-! Keep making them and posting them. I can't think of anything clever to ask for but if you have some idea for me, I would love to see what you come up with!

(... why do I have the feeling this is going to ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRA Here you go, ADDF. Usually when people put something in all caps, that means it's an acronym, like this one.

Not familiar with the ETA. I'm not a big fan of people blowing things up, but I like it more than people blowing people up.

So I heard about the explosions. Dunno what it was, but it sounds pretty scary. There's a higher concentration of British people here than in any other online community I'm part of, and I don't know if anybody (Ameena?) lives in London or might happen to have been there today. So if you're okay and ...

Have you guys explained this word to me before? It sounds vaguely familiar.

Wow, I'm silly.

Since this thread is already hijacked, I'm going to steal it again.

Ameena, wtf is a "smegger"? Is this some sort of crazy British slang I can make fun of you people for?

There's something really adorable about that picture. Or maybe it's just because I'm tired.

I've pulled 12+ hour stints on some games, but I don't remember which. I think if I tried to play DM for that long, my poor heart would give up under all the stress.

To represent the series, hmm... actually, I'd say Lord Chaos because, well, no matter who you put in your party, you're going up against Chaos. In both versions of the game. He even gets his name in the title of the second game! He is THE dude. So go with him.

I don't believe that's how GameFAQS ...

Wu Tse

for males we can put Mophus!

I'm from northern Texas in the USA. Woo. No, you can't blame me for Bush.

Mountain Dew is sooooo disgusting. It'll give you a pretty good sugar and caffeine rush, but it's one of the most disgusting beverages I've ever had. Ugh. There's a whole slew of super-caffeinated, super-sugary drinks like ...

I think that's the floor I got to and couldn't ever get far into. The presence of a wasp and a ghost, and the overall difficulty level you're describing ... to all of you who are stuck there, I've never ever gotten past there. If you manage it, tell me so I can perhaps feel inspired to try again.

So first I have to take this "test" - and then, you realize, you have to tell us which character you named your kid after. If it's "Alex" I'm going to laugh. But I can see some of the odder ones making decent names. Like Chani. That's a fine name. Elijah's relatively normal...

1) How long have you ...

If I'm not mistaken, people in fantasy communities tend to use "wyrm" for what is essentially a wingless dragon, right? I think they just do it to avoid confusion when talking about monsters, going by D&D handbooks, etc - but it's perfectly acceptable to have a lizardy creature without wings and ...

Just listening to you guys talk about this makes me realize that I am never going to play it. Perhaps I'll make BFS play it so I can watch. Ho ho ho!

A Deadly, Dangerous Fairyman?

Oh, that's hard, Trantor. But yes, sometimes ending a relationship is the best thing you can do for it, even if the transition is difficult and painful. You'll come through it okay. Just don't feel like you have to be fine immediately - take your time, soothe yourself through it.

Or blow stuff up ...

Half-life gave me nightmares because its world was well-designed, believable, and frightening to me. I can't watch it any more, which is a shame because it is an awesome game. I don't play survival horror games or any really scary games because I can't handle them. DM isn't scary like that to me ...

I thought Mophus was doing well enough until you all started making fun of his smile again. He's not insane or anything, he's just happy! He's an optimist! Maybe there's some sort of "special" attribute to that food he has at the beginning! But regardless, he's a nice, happy, friendly guy.

I am sad.

When I was a kid, we would watch TNG and none of us would be allowed to speak except during commercial breaks. My mother was very enthusiastic about her Star Trek. DS9 was okay but never quite had the same magic, and I haven't liked too much of what I saw of Voyager. I support Enterprise because ...
