Dungeon Master Forum

I know it's bad form to bump your own thread, but still :)

I remember the thrill of encountering a new monster - what especially sticks in my mind is the metallic crash of the Deth Knights (and the inevitable "what the f**k is that?!" upon hearing that amazing effect), and then the gleeful shock ...

"(v) Bringing the bones you found on one of the later levels back to an altar of vi, and being disappointed that no-one appeared."

Absolutely. I was completely expecting a champion to appear, thank me for saving them and then run off. I also remember part of the story in the manual where the Grey ...

Turn it up loud, James Horner's score is fantastic... and the scene itself is so uncool, it's very cool:

Hello everyone - can I just say how thrilled I am? 2 and a half years later and my thread is still getting responses, I'm honoured, thank you all so much.

Even after all these years and my recent purchase of a PS3, I still hold Dungeon Master up as one of the best games I have ever played.

And for ...

Has anyone played Final Fantasy XII?

I'm so sorry, it has very nearly overtaken my love of Dungeon Master. I didn't think it was possible but still - the Bestiary, good grief those Rare Game... it just overtakes Dungeon Master at every turn.

I am shamed, I apologise to myself and everyone else ...

This is a bit lame but anyway:

I watched "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" last night for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it - except the 'bringing everyone to life at the end' bit, which didn't quite fit but on the whole an entertaining couple of hours...

And an underrated book - "The Eyes of the ...

Cleavage?

I assume you're fixated on Syra as well then!

I know I'm about to approach my first, ahem....

Are we referring to the DM knights as Deth Knights as per CSB? If that is the case then I'm about to encounter my first Deth Knight after 10 years!!! I can't wait to hear that solid, crunching ...

Hi all,

To George Gilbert - everything's working OK now - thanks!

Wuuf's a GIRL!? In many ways, that comes as something of a relief...

And I never thought that my first ever topic would be a three-pager!

Thanks for everyone's memories! I just found the Diamond Edge sword! Whoa!!! Poisonous fumes ...

I just checked the module file, Beo and there's no dm.sv0 file. I lost my game! The Mog man had just become an Artisan Wizard!

Actually, I don't mind too much. Just another excuse to play the game from the start again. But obviously I don't want the game to consistently fail to save.

Oh and thank ...

Well, I chose original DM at the menu and also I did check the RTC version - neither of them had saved games on them!

I was vexed. I can't think of anything else it might be.

Thanks so much everyone, not just for the memory sharing but also telling me how to download the game - especially George Gilbert, whose instructions I followed and found myself watching his modifed 'swish' within seconds...

I played for a few hours earlier today and had a huge grin on my face when ...

That's very true.

As it happens, I was being sarcastic but having just re-read it, I do come across pretty mean-spirited, especially considering that it's pratically my first day...

So I do apologise and also made a mental note not to be sarcastic / ironic in writing - it is very hard to convey ...

Ooh, don't go to bed yet!!!

No, I haven't tried CSBWin yet... I'm not particularly computer literate, seeing as I prefer to live in the past...

In answer to your question, I had a party of four in my first few games but my major one, when I levelled up as much as I could (Archmaster Priest, Mon ...

I like the way people are saying 'we' when they talk about playing the game - me and an elder sibling would play for hours... my friends were not interested, they called me a geek!!! Can you believe that!?

What do you mean, you can?

The relief of finding a fountain, the joy of seeing a flight of ...

Why are people awake at 3.00am? If you live in Britain, that is...

Pits! Just came to me! Remember how you used to die by falling down a pit? Then when you're well into the game you'd fall down a pit and it'd do NOTHING?

The pleasures of levelling up... I used to like my 'yellow' player the most ...

I ended up loving that dragon, too! As I said, I kicked him / her to dusty grey death; it took about half an hour but the ninja levels were worth it...

l always used to call them Vi Altars but I don't recall ever really using them much: hey I remember the scroll "New Life for Old Bones," right?

Oh ...

I for one am sincerely interested, and the response I've had has been great.

Ra Keys, Kelly - I haven't even been thinking about keys! The Winged Key was my favourite, so unique, I recall I threw it around a bit to see if it would fly further...

I remember that golem because I tried to kill it with fireballs and it took about a year (exaggerating slightly) to dust it down ...

Spiders screaming? Whose idea was that???

Gigglers - wow that takes me back...

OK Ameena!

They'll always be Ethereal Triffids to me - and we are talking about the same thing!

But what more could you expect from a Red Dwarf fan?

What did you call Gigglers? I used to call them Laughing F~*#ers. You?

Anyone else have any odd names for creatures?

I think you got 'em all!

I've been listening to the sound effects on the creatures bit of this site. I can't stress this enough: hearing them again after more than a decade is strangely overwhelming!

Dragon still sounds lame...

Illusionary walls - although I just called them fake walls (I didn't have a good vocabulary 10 years back).

But when you said that the writing on the wall "When is Rock not Rock" came back to me... all these little touches are the most meaningful. Thank you, Beowuuf!

I remember when you reach ...

Can I just say to the 40 people browsing this forum - why don't you log in?

You know the game because you wouldn't be here otherwise, so why not add something to the thread?

Go on... you know you want to...

Ameena - Spell Vines!!!???

I think we're talking about the same things, Ameena - I mentioned on another post that I called them Ethereal Triffids - Spell Vines does sound punchier but a bit too feral, you know, for the Dungeon Master world...

Only been here five minutes and I 'm already putting ...

Love those Glubs...

But I never would have thought of calling 'rusters' rusters, you know? They were 'those weird, scurrying, hard armadillo things."

I knew what the 'NO CREATURE' scroll was for! I worked it out immediately! Not that it was much use, it was tedious to get it out in battle and the ...

I'm really enjoying these memories - please feel free to share some more...

I actually remember the cast your influence bit, Sophie! (Can I call you Sophie? Thanks - you can call me Sir).

But yes, I recall something that fired a spell at me and it looked like a ghostbusting spell (des ew??? I'm pretty sure it is) but it did nothing.

Vexirk it may have been. Can I ask ...

Wow.

I forgot about the noises.

I can vividly remember (it's coming back to me so perfectly) when I got my first Skeleton Key (memories!) and went all the way down the stairs and heard that almost "tick tock" kind of noise, then it gradually deeper and more foreboding when whatever it was that ...

I'm colourblind, so beyond useless at this point... but I can vaguely recall a spell, think it was something to do with anti-magic that had a similar "look" to an des ew spell but did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

I just realised that this doesn't have much to do with your question...

Hi Sophia!

Erm... I believe I have a lot to stand on.. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T STOP HATING OPA-LOKA AND EVERYTHING HE STANDS FOR!!!

Ahem...

How are you? It's 11.45pm in England...
