That true. But could you say only have the thing that's closest to
you be described? I think that could work, potentially... especially
with sounds giving you clues as to what items are in the room.

i actually like the direction your taking with Mota here. As I've said
before, it was the atmosphere of shades of doom and the large amount of area

Hi Thomas,
One idea about the scrolls.
Right now you have a hot key,
Scrolls Found: f7
You could turn on a new hot key once you found one scroll.
Control f7 could read the scroll or scrolls.
You could base the detail of the reading on how many scrolls found.
Finding 1 scroll it would say scrolls
Myst was a great game for both textual and communicative sources of info.
You could spend hours reading books in the game, or go around listening to
radios and TV sets, though the transmissions were often broken up by static.
Now there's a game I'd love to be able to play!

you could 1) Get the Yuffie character to join the party, 2) get the
Morph Materia, 3) go down into the submarine and start morphing
There's actually no such term. It's just something sighted people came up
with to explain to their own satisfaction how we can do everyday ordinary
stuff like play games and things. I don't even think they actually use that

You're looking at what would go in a typical mud... and while those

Hi Michael,

Entombed is an accessible RPG game along the lines of Dungeons and

That seems fine to me. So long as you're within a certain distance of
an object, it gets examined and described. That's what you're
intending, if I'm correct. I think that saves a lot of talking and
