Well, where to start...throwing caution to the wind (and the fact that everybody here is doing it) I'll throw some details down.
My real name is James and I'm using the alias of "Sir Shard" here. Long story that. I'm most probably the youngest (I'm gonna assume) of you people here, being sixteen years of age, and you may think 'well then how does he know about "SO-AND-SO" huh?' well, I can say that I was shown at a reasonable age the Amiga. For some reason my parents still ahd it stored somewhere, and I would get my Dad to "go on about the various games". Dungeon Master was once of his personal favourites and he said that I should play it. So, when I eventually found a "missing cord" I played it, loved it (although give me an RPG and I'll kill it by playing it) and hated several aspects of the amiga version, which I think you guys might know about.
Anyway, I always troll the net whenever I can, and I found WinUAE. So I started emulating the amiga on my PC, a massive upgrade so to speak. I could go on about some awesome games on that system, but I should stay on topic. I sorta drifted off of Dungeon Master for awhile, a number of years in fact, before finding this site - of all websites - Moddb. Following the links, I found RTC and downloaded it. Being someone who hadn't finished the original DM, due to the amiga, I thought "I'll play and finish it". Sure enough I did, and when I decided to play through DM2, I enjoyed the import option.
Getting back on topic, I've spent numerous hours playing this remake, and with the added options for the original three, I've quite enjoyed it. Have been advising friends to play it/download it. I thought "why not join that forum, and maybe make people listen to my opinions to improve this...". I did have trouble getting activation, however, and was meant to have logged in last week.
So, I might put a few things down. I am am Amateur Writer, with a focus on Cthulhu Mythos and Cyberpunk sci-fi. I am also an Amateur Journalist, however haven't begun that yet. Apart from that, not much left to write about.
So, a few forum/game(RTC) related questions.
A/ How do I add my own picture as my Avatar? I have this custom DM portrait I want to use, but can't for the life of me work it out.
B/ Whats the difference between DM(original) and DM(rtc)?
C/ Why doesn't any of the basic custom dungeons I've downloaded so far (although I kinda have a gut feeling why) have the option to import characters/create new adventure?
Thought I'd also write down my part members; but I kinda forgot them (been playing Ravenhood 3 a bit too much!)
And to wrap it up, honoured to join such a large group of DM-ers!
