Manikus and other interested parties,

I agree that the fact that DC is still at version 0.914 is the most important thing holding DC back. I have two interrelated mods in mind that would stretch the DC engine. The primary element lacking in the current version is a more robust magic spell list. Clever use of magical abilities and strategic combat ability would be very crucial to the PC's survival in these mods

The mods are versatile with regard to location so a forgotten realms location would be possible. The stories are complete as well as all of the maps, encounters, creatures and NPCs. Each of mods could be designed to run on the old FRUA engine, so if DC were to upgrade the magical spells I don't see why we couldn't run these mods on DC. I started designing the first major location for the first mod on DC and stopped because of the lack of magic spells and unpredictable results (I could not get the magic-users sleep spells to work) made play-testing extremely difficult. The PC's never made it past the first encounter.

None the less I would be willing to make the effort if others are interested.

PS: It seems to me that if DC could get to version 1.00 that it would attract some commercial attention.
