Sophia: I'm glad someone else has a similar memory to me. I do have a vague memory of a similar book about space-ships, which *was* the one you mentioned, but I've googled the TTA and can't see one about space creatures, so maybe isn't the same. Zoooom: That could well be a version of this book. If ...

Ok, not remotely DM related, but... When I was at School in the UK, I read a book which was a sort of encyclopedia' of aliens, and I have been trying to remember it's title. It was a large-ish book (a4-ish) hardback with a black cover and silver writing. The picture on the front was of a large, gree...

In what has now become the wettest summer sunce recordsbegan, Gloucestershire, oxford and a number of other areas in the south of England have also been struck by flooding. And yet areas of the continent are apparently being hit by drought and a lack of water. I thnik it's safe to say global warming...

I live in a village ten miles from doncaster in South yorkshire, and work in Sheffield. I was sent home on Monday at 2:30pm and managed to get the last bus out of Sheffield. A normal two hour journey took just over 4 3/4hrs. i haven't been able to get into work since as the train services between he...

Tonari, just started playing this through. Have to say I like it. I like some of the new ideas (custom weapons for certain characters, different monsters), and did like the opening sequence. Will be very interested to see the next version. I liked especially the special abilities of some of the mons...

I was thoroughly hooked on this series, and the ending was definitely not what I expected. Be interesting to see how the 'follow-up' Ashes to Ashes shapes up. Ifit's half as good as Life on Mars, I'll bewell chuffed...

I remember that somewhere out there ZAngBand (sp?) was a very similar type of thing, in which it had options for ASCII, 2D and 3D versions (it also had (annoying) sampled sound effects(thankfully turn-offable)). IT was free, had a few neato twists and had a relatively shallow learning curv (I regula...

Just as an aside, I have played conflux II and III and find them both enjoyable, especially III. It does have a steep learning curve, which I personally struggle with (I prefer to dive headong and battle through, which isn't always the best way...) but this adds to the challenge. I am limited in my ...

I think this game might be 'Full Metal Planet' Possibly. I remember playing iton the oldatari (and more recently on the emulators). Therewere several games with similar names ("Metal Mutant", "Full Metal Planet", "Metal Fighter", etc) but I'm fairly sure it is Full meta...

interesting idea, like it so far. Just one point: Well, a hole with the titel "abort" is usually not for jumping in... The sign abort and the sign for the armoury appear transposed, ie the abort sign is outside the armory and vice versa. is this intentional? ifs, it makes it very easy to f...

In response to the original question, I remember we used to have DM on the Atari ST many moons ago, showing on the ancient colour telly (Allegedly portable, but made entirely out of valves and took three people to carry (despite having a useless handle on the top). but I digress...) Anyway, I though...

George, I have sent you the savegame whcih is causing the problems. I hope this helps.

I have been enjoying playing the DM II version for RTC and think it is great. I am in the early part of the game and have saved the game just before picking up the third piece of the Skullkeep clan piece. Unfortunately, each time I load from this point, I canplay just fine, but if I attempt to save ...

With regard to the English schooling System, in most areas, Junior Schools (sometimes called Middle Schools, have largely been phased out, at least in South Yorkshire, in favour of Primary and Secondary schools. The lower two years of the middle school have been merged with the primary school, and t...

These guys are a local doncaster band. They say they're punk, but more sort of skater rock type (think Blink, Avril LAvigne, etc). THey are really good, especially considering they're only twelve and thirteen year olds. Try them at www.nofears.co.uk. I saw them live in Thorne PArk and they were exce...

Hehe forgot about thinking DM. Finally managed to get what was needed! thanks beo!

ok, thoroughly enjoying the game so far, got a good way into it, just a minor question: I cannot find the gauntlets anywhere. I have wandered around in circles for ages now and without them, I am stuck. I've been looking for a couple of days now. Am probably missing something really obvious, but can...

ok, ok, I give up. I figured the desire thing, I've got the ra key but still can't find the key for the door in the room with the fire pit, or how to close the pit in the corridor behind the secret wall near the beginning.I folowwed the advice of thinking in 3-d but am now completely stumped. Any su...

I played shadowgate many years ago and am thoroughly enjoying this dungeon based on it. I've got a long way through it so far (I think). But I can't figure out the 'desire-rised' riddle and appear unable to kill the Coatl. Any suggestions? Zokath: hint reference dragon. You should have a means to pr...

Like the pics the female mummy kinda reminds me of the one from the tv series Mummies Alive, but v cool. SCary thief tho...

Ok. been a few days or so, but here's (a slightly shorter) Part Three... Sonja stared back at him, her normally beautiful face twisted into a hideous mask of hate. “Get your hands off of me, you damn dirty Vexirx!” She snarled, each syllable dripping with white-hot venom. Gothmog flinched visible at...

Ok, thanks for the info guys. I'm thinking I might have a break from it and go back to csbwin editor and then teach myself RTC editing a bit later. I think my brains a bit fuzzy at the moment. All this sunshine and flash flooding in UK addling my brain...

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before but i haven't found it yet, so apologies for asking again... I have converted some bitmaps using ADGE and paint to replace the creature graphic. I have been trying to create a new dungeon in RTc as RTC has a couple of things I want to use in the dungeon and...

very impressive, liking them lots. Wish I was half as talented *sniffs and goes back to stick figures...*

HI,
Just wondering, what is the silliest or funniest names you have given your characters in Dungeon Master. I remember a party I created with Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and tiggy winkle . I was rather young at the time...

any others...?

ooh, gosh, now there's an idea... thanks George, I'll start fiddling about and see what I can figure out. I'm still a novice tho, so it might take a while. but watch this space...

Well, I've found a complete pokemon list, so been cutting and pasting fromthem. Funniest one so far diddy cute dragon pokemon replacing red dragon. ('aww, look at the cute little *whumph* Aaargh!):D

yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a bit twisted..

Hi all, Following on a OT thread elsewhere, I am currently in theprocess of convertingall themonsters from CSB (including Lord Chaos) into pokemon-style creatures. So far, I've managed most of them except for Demon, Oitu, Water Elemental, Materializer, animated armour, Giant Wasp, Mummy, Black Flame...

I have to say that, although the difficulty is set much higher in CSB, the characters are set accordingly higher and this does balance it out. The main thing which makes CSb so much harder is its non-linerity and how easy it is to spend several hours wandering aimlessly and lost before being put out...

Thanks for that info Adamo, that's a big help. It's only really since browsing here, the DM encyclopedia sites, and researching this article, that I've realised DM is still so hugely popular. The Quote you referenced is great, it gives a good insight into the fan--sites and how they all developed an...
