Dungeon Master Forum

Of course it would help, but it's just a thing I remembered reading a while ago - so I'd have to search for it too. Just knowing there is a thread like that should help people who are really interested in the info.

There was a whole thread about this with very detailed info on the what/where. If I remember correctly you can train against the black flames in the down below but I don't remember any specifics.

First time I loaded the site yesterday I had some page saying "Browser being tested" that didn't go away. Didn't know what caused it as this was the first site I opened that day so I shut the browser and re-opened it to see what was the issue. Next time loading DM site gave me a quick flashing of ...

That's insane, kudos for that.

I'd expect the hardest about that approach is not being able to kite the dudes, and maybe lack of water too.

I know it can happen in DM2 but never fired at a door in DM long enough to find out

I think this thread might help you

There's some DM2 clones on the forum that definitely run on Windows though I'm not entirely sure how close to the original they are (that is, some of the versions or maybe all didn't rip the source code but tried to replicate the thing by touch and feel). I played one of them and it felt close ...

The screamers are those mushroom like monsters. If you cannot defeat even them, you're doing something seriously wrong. As for the worms: don't even think of face-tanking those, you'll need to "dance" around them, hitting them from the sides before they have a chance to turn, evade and repeat ...

I also noticed that I keep getting auto-logged out these days. Definitely a minor issue compared to the lags and it tends to concide with those but I thought I'd mention it.

Concerning that wierd group of four: I've seen that behaviour in worms too and I vaguely remember reading somewhere that it's because monster groups can split up or join. So if half of them decide to walk out to the side they rotate weirdly on top of the rest.

Welcome back :)

I'm not a developer myself but I keep reading any post that appears in the forums. Seems to me that the only engine that's still actively supported is Sophia's DSB. And I know Gambit is still here and has experience with both RTC and DSB so if he's got the time to answer he'd be my ...

If you're up to the challenge, there's Conflux and all of Adamski's work (though I'm not sure if the latter are still available, last time I checked they got password-restricted and he's not been around for years...)

Also if you really prefer writing in French, why not do that but put it through ...

And it's not even mint condition.

That aside, still a cool gimmick for aficionados if it was about 20 € or something.

I took a quick look into Return To Skullkeep these days and the creator of the dungeon states that it is longer and more difficult than the original plus some spells are changed. And it's very apparent right from the start as you don't even begin in that basement with the frozen characters and you ...

Well, you can always scout the area and once you know where other characters are hidden start a new game and check them out. Hopefully by then you'll know where some important runes are hidden away too.

It's really been a while since I tried that game but I seem to remember that the FUL rune wasn't ...

Power runes are hidden in places too.

If you want to keep on playing that version, keep in mind that probably not many have played it so you'll get even less help than just with default Skullkeep (which is already neglected by most DManiacs )

I vaguely remember having played a version that sends you to hunt for the runestones first before you can use the respective symbols in a spell. They are scattered all over the world (and I think I got one by clicking on the fireplace at "home" but it's been ages).

However, that's not part of the ...

You could place a teleport at the lower end of the stairs so the party will end up elsewhere, they can't climb back up that way. But you'd still need some delay on the stairs too (or maybe just a lot of them chained together without the platforms in between).

That's a really cool thing you found there.

I'm not a designer so I have no idea if the following would work (probably not because they'd propably have found that solution if it was viable), but could a re-skinned stairs sequence do the job?

I used different things so I could tell where it ported me, mostly food probably.
And I made sure to always face north before moving on (after doing a pirouette to check for walls).

Well, after some random searches I found two sites that have scans of "ancient" German magazines. Clicked on some pages of each brand in the first site but none of the pages looked as garish as the ones you showed... :D But maybe you find something that looks remotely similar. And even if not, maybe ...

Welcome here

Questions like that trigger something with me, so please forgive me for being silly: You use the arrow keys to move through the tunnels and you can pick up stuff by clicking on it with your mouse.

Chapa'aai Let's hope there's no Goa'uld waiting on the other side.

Way better, and yeah, hands/fingers are an issue even for breathing artists

I suppose you can save your game just before going down a hole and then check where he is in relation to you, checking out the most promising options. May take some reloads but unless he's stationary till you visit him and spawns right under a pit that would seem the best option to me.

His profile says he was last active two years ago so I suppose that's not happening

Ah I see Well, as long as there's an obvious improvement it's totally worth investing the time (in my opinion)

Well the body proportions look way less creepy on that one but what's with the hands?!

TOC's been ages for me so I'm not sure: was there a spider section with lots of cobwebs? I remember finding some gears there, just not sure if it was TOC or some other dungeon
Blue Steele is in the ghost cellar though (not that you asked )

I'll try the manta version, that's sooo cool. Will its trace look anything like the magic footsteps? And what do I get if I trace the ray down? Do I need to fluxcage it? Questions over questions...
