This is an interesting post from Rich Redman from The Game Mechanics about #Adventures not selling very well & their role in #DnD & #TTRPG in general. It's from 2004, but a lot of it is still relevant today, especially for creators. #DungeonsAndDragons https://bit.ly/4bppY8k
Snowshoeing in the Picos de Europa. Day 1. Perfect snow conditions. From Fuente De cable car station we needed snowshoes until we returned 6 hours later. Ascended to Colladina de las Nieves and up the peak of Padiorna (2314m). Only saw two other people on our route. Legs tired but ... just wonderful!
Hallöchen meine #Mastonauten, gestern habe ich auf Twitch #EternalThreads, das #Adventure der etwas anderen Art, beendet und konnte (wenn auch nicht optimal) sogar alle Bewohner des Hauses retten :)
Schon krass was da alles noch so passiert ist. Wer also auf #Story driven #Adventures steht, bei denen die Handlung der Geschichte selbst entdeckt werden muss, ist hier genau richtig 👍
Das Ende lässt uns überrascht und mit vielen Fragen zurück 👍☺️
It's been trying to snow today at home in the mountains of Mid Wales, which makes it feel almost unbelievable that this was our view a fortnight ago, from the window of the train that carried us from Basel to Milan. I can't remember the name of the lake, sorry, but it was beautiful.
I had an exhilarating experience at the Otter Creek Dam on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The dam had round flat stepping stones for crossing Otter Creek, but I was nervous about falling into the shallow water with my camera. Despite my lack of coordination, I managed to make it halfway across. What a view!
My human had finished eating the first course before I realised they had brought the food round! (I was very busy looking out of the window at the scenery of North East France.)
I am definitely getting some of that orange tart though! That looks far too tasty to let the human have it all...
The humans think I'm looking out of the window at the view as we leave Strasbourg, but really I'm keeping my eye on that tasty looking tarte au myrtilles.
Before catching the train this morning, we spent a bit of time exploring a castle. Unlike the castles I've visited at home in Wales, the stone walls were all there!
I did some weird kneeling-in-the soil, twisting, jabbing, pitchfork moves this afternoon* that has left my back somewhat sore. It'll prob feel worse tomorrow.
*Sadly, I was not repelling a herd of aggressive wild boar, rather just digging up some garden potatoes.
According to the German C64 Wiki, a contributor called HTW had a delve into the code for this and states there is no clue at all about who actually wrote it. Maybe somebody in the fediverse knows and can shed some light on it?
I remember King's Quest 1 was my very first Sierra text adventure. Back in 2001, I didn't understand a single word English so this and the other Sierra games helped me a lot to learn my first English vocabulary.
Do you think text adventures can be edutainment for kids too?
Earthquake (1982) is by Aardvark, a company I've normally dreaded (despite some innovative environments) due to a janky parser. The parser is still off but the game's concept makes this one a banger: you have almost completely open access to a mall (and the multitude of objects filling the stores) and must rescue enough people to escape.
Es war eine gute Entscheidung endlich mal damit zu beginnen, die "The Book of Unwritten Tales"-Reihe zu zocken. Ein wahrlich schöner #Adventure-Spaß aus Deutschland. #hach
