Hi Dark, Now, that is probably doable. Taking donations for sounds, music, etc but releasing he game as free fan fiction would probably not raise a stink with anyone over copyrights. I might be able to get away with selling a Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or Star Trek game, but I don't know if I

Hi Dark, Exactly my point. In a text adventure/RPG system there is more than one route a person could take. They could travel north through the Gray Mountains, they could travel straight through Mirkwood, or to the south through Guldor. Either way would offer different adventures and different

Hi Dark, ok, sounds like you have most of them. It would be great if you could upload them if noone else has them by thursday then, thanks for that! You are right, it would be good if these files could be hosted somewhere. I like all his recordings too, and of course I'd like to hear new

Hi Tom. well donations would be fine with me, and I can understand you not taking the risk though I am reasonably certain they wouldn't take it through the legal system anyway simply because of how ridiculous it'd look, and which thousands of dollars couldd they claime for from an audio

Hi Charles, Yes, I think starting with a simple roll playing game based in a fantasy story or world you are familiar with would be the way to go. As Dark pointed out usually all the rules, stats, and whatever is handled by the game master anyway and isn't usually up to the player to begin with.
