Back Again

[John Gregory]

Hello All,

A tried DM a few years ago documenting my experiences on this forum perhaps to other inmates' hilarity.

IIRC, I played all the way through failing at the final battle/trapping but remained enthusiastic overall at the adventure.

For reasons I am now unsure of, I stumbled back on the subdirectory where the DM distro exists finding it called to me enough to give the game another try. I found myself hooked immediately upon entering the maze room containing the avatar portraits.

With giving it as close to no thought as possible, I chose the dinosaur Hissa this time as my avatar and off I went. As I remember things, this game is dramatically different from my last. My avatar is rugged so enormously less vulnerable to hits but keeping the game lit is a challenge. So while the stage remains the same, the play is drastically different.

For example, I'm currently on the 3rd level as I count because I call the picture frame level as 1. I was overwhelmed in the previous game by the blue apes behind one door. This time I easily waltzed through them. I don't recall any light issues last time but this one was a major issue until my avatar gained a sufficient level to reliably create torchlight. That took camping out at a safe place to grind up to the point of being up leveled.

This time through I've lost the element of shock due to ignorance of what's coming. I forgot a good deal but do remember the broad strokes of everything so far. So here I am back and looking forward to new experiences during an older setting.
