Dungeon Master Forum

Creature of Havoc was brilliant, such a difficult book (mainly because you start off little more than a mindless beast), it was also important from a setting perspective as it introduces the third member of the demonic three, Zharraden Marr (the other two being Zagor the warlock of Firetop Mountain ...

I installed Steem because there was a game I could not find for WinUAE (although I remember it from the ST rather than amiga), and that was Technocop.

VERY gory for its time, but also difficult as hell.
One other advantage of Steem, was that I could play Blasteroids again, and play Zombi with the ...

@Giradius - Joe Dever, the writer of Lone Wolf, created another mini-game series where two sets of twin books could be played separately or apart - one set had a confrontation in a dungeon as you describe. The books are also in pdf form now, linked on the project aon site. They weren't connected to ...

One of the things I loved about Dark Corners, was the hotel chase....terrified me, they really captured the panic and terror of that scene in the book, the graphics are very pretty, and the music is superb.

Dagon was good, (the best Lovecraft adaption to date i think, although I liked Reanimator as ...

Well those of you off to Denmark, be sure to do what the locals do and communicate in a series of meaningless guttural sounds....

Shlib clop, Syggelekolke!

This is quite a humourous video I found on Youtube.

Danish Language

I had a load of FF books when I was at school (and have recollected many since, they occupy an entire shelf) they were one of the things that first got me into RPGs.
I remember having a particularly tough time of Vault of the Vampire (DONT EAT THE JAFFA CAKES :D), I think the hardest book was ...

When I was dancing the kolo that time, somebody ahead of me left the circle just after it had broken people where starting to form a sort of swirl, as I was at the and of the line I was the one directing the line of people.
It was nerve wracking, it was like playing centipede again, I must have been ...

but my first contact with the Cthulhu Mythos was through Chaosium RPG Call of Cthulhu.

Same here, I bought it at a car boot sale and thought it looked really interesting, later I started reading the stories and that was that.

There have been some adaptions of either Lovecraft stories or concepts ...

I love that! Especially in situ, i.e. when being to former Yugoslavia and listening to the music in the appropriate environment.

A friend of mine is serbian, and his family was running a hotel and so they had a big venuw for parties and things.
I got an invite to a couple of these (and i think ...

Frontier was something I had a go at recently, I remember that on Amiga (and the huge tome of an instruction manual).

When googling about (as I often do) I found out at a game that has been called "the spiritual successor" of Frontier...Freelancer.
I gave it a go, but I am not decided on it, it ...

Hello folks

Is anybody here a fan of HP Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos?
If so, What are your favourites stories?, characters? What is it you like about them?

I am personally a fan, and have been for some time.
Maybe they appeal to my nihilistic streak, Lovecraft is one of the few horror authors ...

WOW!

I think I have musical sympathies with almost everyone...

Most of what I listen to is industrial, darkwave and Aggrotech (Frontline Assembly, C-drone defect etc), I was quite into Goth music in teens and so i have been known to play the odd Sisters of mercy album.
Still like a lot of metal ...

Happy birthday sir.

I bought you a beer and was going to send it to you but my girlfriend said that pouring it into the disk drive was not a good idea as it could result in severe hardware damage.

So I drank it for you.

many happy returns

Hello folks

How do you open RTC files? do you need an extractor of some sort? I assume that they are archives where custom graphics and things are stored.

I want to open the data files that come with RTC so i can tinker with graphics.


Also, do bitmaps need to be a certain size, if so what are ...

I went to Croydon once for a meeting, I thought it was quite nice.

Maybe that explains a few things :p

WinUAE is a good emulator, its easy to use and there are actual floppy rip disk images that are easy to find (I have loads), in fact i have found disk images with cracker screens that I remember playing on the amiga at the time.

you can even run CD32 games on it

I have heard spore is good.

If i ever get it, i will be making Cthulhu...or Daleks

Gambit37: but DM types always rated high, plus anything vaguely fantasy. Eye of the Beholder 1 & 2 stood out, as did Captive which was awesome.

There were corkers! Black crypt was interesting but It was quite tricky, and Bloodwych was great fun (if only for the dialogue "thou art an oaf ...

Chaos engine is a classic, I want to start a thread (in the right forum this time :P) on the possibility of callaborating a Chaos engine pen and paper RPG (with obvious artistic lisence as the original game was not an RPG).

Jan:
I remember many happy hours playing Bruce Lee, the green sumo ...

I liked it, the multiplayer option is quite good, although the server populations are a little low now.

It does have quite high spec requirements though.

Sorry for putting this in the wrong thread, I did look if there was a similar thread in here (which there wasn't on account of me being the wrong forum :p).

Beowuuf is right in that this is not about games which changed your life, its more about games you still play despite having the option to ...

Hello folks

Obviously we are all here because we share an appreciation for Dungeon Master and its sequels.
But what other oldies but goodies do people still play?

My dad had an Atari XE when i was a kid, then he got an Atari ST and so I the XE was passed down to me, after a while he got an Amiga ...

I think its great, although I know what you mean about some being weaker than others (my least favourite character is the Dwarf).

Psychoville is probably set in the same world as the League of gentleman, while the leaugue focuses on Royston Vasey and its "local" inhabitants, psychoville shows the ...

Zyx:
I'm not aware about the resistant gene, do you have any source?

I cant remember it at the moment, it was a documentary on cannibalism I watched some time ago.
There was something about a mutation which is found at a certain spot on the prion gene.

(I did a little google research and found ...

Oh, returning briefly to the topic of vegetarianism.

Another advantage of a vegetarian diet Is that I had veggie burgers for my dinner today, and now my farts smell delicious!

I only wish I could cut and paste one onto this thread to share it with you.

Hello folks

Has anybody else here become a fan of the new BBC comedy Psychoville?

Created by 2 of the brains behind the League of Gentleman, this series follows in the Leagues rather dark and grotesque footsteps, fans of edgier darker comedy will enjoy this.
The series has quite a large web ...

Our little furry friends it seems are not so friendly after all!

Some of them are quite sinister http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE0puWNL4XU

While others clearly have hidden depths http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Y73sPHKxw

Regarding the Vegan health issue, personally I am not a vegan, but my girlfriend is, I don't drinks cows milk simply because we don't buy it (my girlfriend uses soya milk so I use that, getting separate milk would be silly) but I have no real problem it.
We are heterotroph after all, and so for us ...

you basically say that they just have more of the same that other animals already have, so it's not a big deal, don't you? The quantity is more, the quality the same?

yes to the first point, and to the second point I think quantity AND quality is higher, but we are still fundamentally talking ...
