New people, hello and welcome!!!!

[SilentThief]

Welcome to the I-works forums, home to many awesome ppl.

I would like to personally invite you to check out the Dungeon Craft message board. If you don't know what DungeonCraft is, its a game that is being created in the style of the old SSI Dungeons and Dragons Goldbox games, and its successor FRUA (Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures) which let you design your own goldbox-style games. The FRUA game drew a modest fan base, and people were making and distributing games (and even hacking the code to make more options available, as the "unlimited" part was still fairly limiting...)

Now, DungeonCraft is already better than what FRUA was, and is going to be what FRUA should have been all along... Its got more options and better control over the adventure making process, its being made by an awesome programmer who takes the suggestions of the people and makes them happen, and features much better art capabilities. Best of all, its 100% FREE!!!!

To get an idea of what DC is, check out the web sites (and Download it, if you want):

to see screenshots of the game:

Currently this is a work in progress, as in the program hasn't been finished. The programmer (CocoaSpud) was working on coding the effects of magic and enemy AI when I heard from him last, and he takes suggestions as to requested features/bug fixes (he's got a list). Even tho we don't have the fully completed game yet, we do have 2 finished mods available for playing. We also recently hosted our 1st art contest (the results are being counted and will be released soon) and will be doing another soon, so if you're an artist you might wanna enter.

Feel free to come on over and check it out.
