Dungeon Master Forum

Thx for the link to a very interesting site.

Speaking of nothing in particular, I wonder how Denise is doing and if she ever finished. I'm still unsure how to proceed. I don't mean I need a hint. I have several save games each with a piece of the game solved and don't know which game would proceed ...

The Guest reply was me. For some reason the system refused to sign me in and then did. Weird.

Lunever,

Thanks. I'll pursue that vector when I get a chance to play again. I'm a bit discouraged having trod through the area so many times now not finding this thing. I do have a compass, but so far have pretty well done w/o maps or other major spoiler hints. IMO, the most discouraging part of a ...

Slide - how are you progressing?

I've fallen behind you once again. I spent as much real time as I had searching for the emerald key. I found the gold, but no emerald. So just for jollies, I went through the DDD again after ROS, this time trapped the dragon in a room so I could explore the place ...

Slide - you mean I have to go back up there??? I left the fireballs on to kill the scorpions - oh well, fire screens and all that stuff to the fore.
<snip>
Do you folk ever think of planning a worldwide reunion somewhere central? Like, picking a year, a month, and all trying to hook up in a hotel ...

Unless I can find 2 staircases I just cant get to the maze and the emerald key etc.!

Denise,

The way to the stairs you seek is past the room where you found / remvoed the green gem. That is not the end of the line, but the start of the way to the staircases and the dragons.

After fighting ...

denise and slide, you've started your games for such a long time, what levels has your team reached actually ?
i know that if you complete the game slower, your champions will have big stats at the end.

I'm lo masters in all but ninja for my two PC's. BTW, I do have the green gem. Is that the ...

Oh, yeah, I do have sapphire after all. Anyway, I sure didn't find any key in that maze. So I take from your post that it's there if only I search some more. Right?

I had an unexpected few hours today so I wandered into ROS again to see what I missed in the illusion wall area. I only found a gold key. Is there more to that area? I either covered it entirely, or am missing some basic aspect that doesn't seem to be coming into focus for me.

I'm guessing that ...

Thank Beowuuf. I will, then, return to ROS. There was a large area there not explored at all. That is, I did it four times failing each time whereby I found another path which led to the dragons and thence to DDD. I will go to ROS again searching both the false wall area and the other side of ROS ...

Denise,

You are clearly beyond me now. As winter looms in your area of the world, we here, albeit being inconvenienced by having to live upside down, are enjoying the start of spring. This surely lures me out of doors and as far away from the console as I can get. This morning, a friend and I did a ...

NETA - the rest of the routes are in the DDD, i suppose priests need to go into the wilderness for wisdom, or soemthing. Down from the landing where you dound the switch beside the demons in the DDD, you should have come to a square room. It's signposted 'Neta' for the route to continue. The ...

I didn't get your last message. Something seems to be interfering with my emails. I get 150 spams a day, but have missed important desired mail. I apologize, but also have no idea what is occuring.

The message I get upon following those same procedures is a msgbox with a title bar saying 'Error ...

Lunever,

My hint oracle isn't working. I sent a game (after request) to Paul. I think I'm at one jeweled key door so am not really 100% stuck yet. I'm just a bit annoyed at having penetrated that far only to find I left my keys at safe harbour. I am unable to manage my supplies as my chars cannot ...

Not having docs or having read the encyclopedia, I am left to my own monster name conventions until corrected in this forum; thus the fire monkeys and flambé dishes. I remember the latter from DM, but don’t remember the name if I ever knew it. I’ll also admit to having some name fun along the way as ...

Beowuuf,

Interesting, but in my case, not very useful because I never have any idea where I am as far as levels. Sometimes I have an idea where I am relative to another level (like I *was* above a familiar place when I fall into a pit) but can't say what level this is or how many levels there are ...

Denise,

We can, perhaps, dismiss our different problem areas as our playing styles, but we can’t dismiss worm generation. Clearly your game is working differently from mine. I’m playing Paul’s game, CSBWin 9.6. Are you too? If so, the randomness of the events here includes random generation of ...

Lunever,

If you read back in this thread, a worm set I left in this area on another transit through are the Adam and Eve of this worm room. They are the ones generating the other worms which are now covering (AFAIK) the entire room. I dropped down into this room from above (an open pit) to see what ...

Yes, I may have left one or two alive simply because I had no reason to worry that I'd eradicated them all. By now they must be regularly mashing on that switch causing an effectively infinite supply of food. This reminds me of the elegance of the game's programming and thought. I've never again met ...

Lunever -

Yes, you were somewhat vague, but I wasn't asking for specifics. I figured to explore the DDD later on because my team is clearly not up for it yet. To clarify, I'm playing Paul's game, CSB for Windows, not RTC now. I returned to DM after having stumbled upon RTC and thought to give it a ...

Slide, did you do the section with the flying key in Neta yet? and the invisible spinner? with the slime throwers? I cant remember how the hell I got there. Talk about being confused....

Yes, I did that part. Something is generating slimes now in that room. The last time I was through I had to ...

Ah, I’m gratified that I asked for no spoilers…

However, I’ve gotten some feel for this board so chose not to revisit until I’d either solved the no fireballs room or became overwhelmed with screaming frustration. In some ways, I did both. I did solve, if that’s the right word, the muncher issue ...

The last time the Possessions got me all I had was boots, storm and the flask. It took the lot.

I only lost a worm slice I must have hit upon some solution. I suggest a save / try / restore method to determine what's up.

Slide, I did do the room beyond where you pick up the 2nd vorpal - it was ...

Beowuuf, others,

I decided to persist until either the dragon was dead or I too tired to continue so started another round. It grew somewhat comical around here as my 11 year old daughter would occasionally check on my progress or lack thereof. This was before I got the new notes about the efficacy ...

I can confirm Sucinum's comment on DM on the ST and Amiga. IIRC, my high point in DM came when I whacked a golem, got a 256 return and dropped it with one shot. Well, that's my memory, but then it was, what, 1987 and I've forgotten (and made up) a lot since then.

Lunever - I"m using Diamond Edge ...

Lunever, others,

I have spent 25 mintues real time following the dragon around whacking it on the tail to no avail. I find it easy to avoid even being able to eat food or potions whilst doing the dragon dance. I even took a short phone call whilst engaged in the last fight. I figured that if expert ...

My progress both with my PC’s and my general mental makeup hasn’t progressed much if any. I decided to slip again into KU to see what I could see having navigated NETA to the DDD and DAIN to somewhere where I looped back to the JoW w/o seeing the DDD. There was a dead end passage after I passed the ...

Done as attachment. -Paul

I am using a utility created game. Where would you like me to send a savegame? -paul

There will be more..

Either my game skills are non-existent or something is awry here. After trying to buff my chars by fighting the worms with weapons, and loading up as much as I could, I decided to leave. Finding the exit was rather straightforward, but it didn't lead to the safe harbour ...
