Dungeon Master Forum

Hello!

CSBuild has a full encrypt option in the File menu. I used it for the first years mainly because of the scroll contest which, all things weighted, seemed justified. Since I was active on the forum, people stuck in the dungeon could rely on me and other members to get personnal hints rather ...

Gameplay : 9. This dungeon is a model for good balance. The difficulty increases progressively, the weapons and armor are hard to find, the water level must be watched. Only the food is overabundant.
Originality : 8. The tower idea is well transmitted, the ...

Gameplay : 8. Interesting but very hard to balance correctly, some parts may prove too difficult, maybe access to the guilds is granted too soon.
Originality : 9. A great effort has been done, but the next generation of dungeons could exploit better the idea ...

Hello, just to say I still check silently from time to time what's going on here.

Surprising. Interesting. A mix between narration and methodology. If I understand correctly, you're making your guide while advancing with several parties, in distinct folders. All along, you're maintaining new open threads about things to do, like some kind of journal. This could be put to words ...

That's one I may remember. Vampiric weapons work best with creatures of flesh and blood. Or should. Clearly spiders have a bad blood and spitter trees are a better vitality source. But the idea is that you can suck life more or less plentily according to each creature.

I should say something about your recent collective efforts. I'd like to say more but it's just up to others to find the time. I'm onto other matters.
Congrats for your stubbornness and method. I recall effectively wanting to tone down the possibilities of learning skills without some social sharing ...

Hello and welcome! I don't remember, but you can search this very thread. Beowuuf once gave this hint: You know how the tower traps you inside it, and so you have to jump down a pit to escape? Well, this means there is a certain square that is probably blocking you.

So, perhaps if you stop beside ...

Maybe we should gather for a chat!

Funny, I'm on top of a small mountain in the south of France enjoying the silent night and reading about your underground adventures. It's nice to connect in this unexpected way. Also, a small animal with fur just ran through my legs as I wrote this!

I don't remember much feedback about the special ...

I think there's no text for calcium. Does the titanic sulfate bug cancel an important alchemy path?
I don't know about the ConfluxTech...

Well, it should say "You're only the spiritual body of a sorcerer! You cannot see me!" and it shouldn't appear when you look at calcium!
Anyway, enjoy!

Looks like an error!

I can't remember! Probably. But you did reach me. I didn't go designing further than this point. So I decided to put some kind of "zyx was here" and tzimtzum!, to retire.
You really must have explored the dungeon for a long time!

It's just a dream but I'm certain it's doable with CSBwin, and probably with DSB (which I don't know enough). Could it be a team project?...

Anyway, you're welcome! Feedback will be appreciated, as always!

I seem to remember the deathtrap dungeon was cut out from Conflux because it was of poor quality.
Once upon a time, in previous versions, at the very beginning, if you stepped on the closed pit and stepped back before it would open, you would gain access.

Haha, if (when?) I find the time and availability, I wouldn't add anything, I would only try to get rid of the bugs and restore the awesomeness of giant scorpions.

And if I ever find a LOT of time, I would start a new dungeon with the following premises:
1. Everything works as an ecosystem, with ...

Hello everybody, thank you for all this sharing and blowing life into it. Here's a temporary link to the deathtrap dungeon (not very interesting imho):

Just starting to get at it, will work slowly through the next days, lots of other things in the doing. I'll use this thread to chat or muse out loud a little in the meanwhile, if it's OK, just to keep you in mind.

@Antman, I'm glad for the opportunity to collaborate at the creation of such a space ...

Ok, noted!

Hello Antman! I'm too intensively busy in March to do anything. I'll check the dungeon in April, at least to prevent the bug for future users! Thank you Paul for investigating!

Oh wow, thanks for this review!, you complety sold me and my son the urge to play it! It could be our next "son and father" project! Congratulations, Adamski, we'll feedback you in a few months!
