Hi Kieth.
the classic adventures are organized into packs. some are complete, some
partially complete, and some not (there are over 270 eamon adventures after
all).
Thus far the eamon deluxe beta contains:
volume 1, the beginners adventures (the ones you played obviously intended
for beginners)
volume 3 the Jim Jacobson adventures deluxe: all of these are done and they
make a great set with a continuous story.
Volume 5 the Tom zuchowski adventures: only two adventures in this set are
complete, the extremely good thror's ring, and the eamon 7 demo adventure
(just a little demo of a new revision of eamon that tom wrote at some point
in the past).
volume 8, the nathan segerlind adventures: a surreal and humerous set
withmany specials all of which are complete.
Volume 9 the sam ruby adventures: probably the most famous serious fantasy
writer of eamon. these range from pretty tgood to utterly awsome! some of
the larger ones are yet to be converted but a good few are there, including
a couple Sam originally wrote as stand alone adventures for the commercial
public domain distribution softdisk, (the first three in the set), which
are all pretty good too.
Volume 20, journey across the mewet sea: a quirky sea going fantasy
adventure for puzzle fans written in 2005, but warning, it's a toughy!
volume 21 realm of fantasy, the same surreal game from the stand alone
section.
volume 22, lost treasures of eamon. these are adventures from unusual
sources. Only the first is done, the ice cave which was an adventure from an
attempted ms dos port of eamon that is quite obscure. unfortunately the
adventure itself is utterly terrible! but it's there.
volume 23, a runcible cargo. Written earlier this year, all around
exceptional! nough said.
volume 24, the stronghold of khar-dur, an adventure written in june of
this year, also a really good one.
Of course, more are to come in the future.
Hth.
Beware the Grue!

Hey Dark, I became a beta tester a few days ago, and went through the
first 7 adventures pretty quickly. But when I try to start the next group
of adventures, (#2 on the adventure grouping selection), it tells me that
the eamon deluxe will blah blah blah. With the beta testing version, are
their only 7 adventures, ending with the one in the house with eddie,
charlie brown, and andy?
Thanks
Keith

Hi sharren.
Just to clarrify, the full eamon deluxe is a collection of adventures
from the old eamon system on the apple Ii computer released mostly in
the 1980's and 90's, plus some modern adventures written for eamon
deluxe.
The advantage of course in the full eamon deluxe which you don't get
with the stand alone adventures is that in eamon, you start from the main
hall of the guild of free adventurers where you can buy weapons, spells,
stat upgrades etc, and go on individual adventures from there. When you
get back to the hall with whatever cash you've earned from an adventure,
you can obviously buy better stuff and improve your character. This is a
very unique thing and quite a lot of fun.
Sinse a lot of people back in the 80's didn't bother with this and used
pregenerated characters instead (like the test characters who come with
the stand alone adventures),frank also includes a character editer where
you can tweak your characters stats, give yourself uba weapons or create
a super character if you want, though to be honest this to me is a little
pointless and I only tend to use the editer for testing the adventures
in the beta.
If you, or indeed anyone else would like to try the beta version, drop a
mail to frank black the developer on [email protected]
While the stand alone adventures are okay as an example, runcible cargo
is actually pretty amazing, there are of course more in the beta.
The eventual plan is to have all! the classic eamon adventures converted
to eamon deluxe format, as well as some new ones written just for eamon
deluxe, but that will take a while.
Still in the 25 or so adventures frank has converted thus far there are
some pretty awsome ones. ---- some pretty awfull ones too and some in
betwene, but even the mediocre ones tend to be worth playing I find.
Hth.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
