King of Dragon Pass is the top selling HQ product on the Warehouse 23 website. Is this the best selling HQ product of 2005, or even 2004? I wonder this because...
... I think this is merely the fact that computer games have a market that's roughly 1000 times the size of the RPG market. No exaggeration, RPGs sell ...

... Well I've got some of the skills and know enough about the computer games industry to know it isn't financially viable. You are talking about a year or...
... Don't some of the first-person-shooters allow you to define your own scenery, and maybe even monsters? I don't play that sort of thing myself, but I'm sure...
In a message dated 3/11/2005 7:13:25 PM AUS Eastern Standard Time, ... I've been thinking if "Age of Empires" could be used to model the Founding of Pavis, a...
... Yes, that's the sort of thing I have in mind. I've a vague idea that this is an option for either Quake or Doom. ... At least two someones, I'm one. Mine...
... And something called "Morrowwind" was once mentioned as being usefuol in this way, I think. ... I had a go once: Civ II, like you. And that's about how...
... You missed my point. Fantasy Quake was a free mod. It was something that a few people made for fun. That's what I'm talking about. Anyway, check out my...

... At the time it was mentioned, I went out and bought a copy. It shows just how into computer games I am that it's still on the shelf, in cellophane wrapper...
... One stage further than me then. I got as far as thinking "Maybe I should get a copy then" - It will be some time before I get round to having a copy to...
Hope folk enjoyed the Myth of the Month posted on the Glorantha website: http://www.heroquest-rpg.com/new/myth.html This gives a good idea how woefully...

... The world is pretty interesting, and it's quite fun game in and of itself; I'll leave out the detailed mechanical quibbles, but the active mod community...
... Doing it for the newer versions might be easier, in the long run. Civ3 has a great deal more flexibility than Civ2; Civ4 is apparently intended to be...
OK, I admit, this is silly. You may remember mention of my wargaming with a Duck army. That was the *serious* army. In response to a sort-of-dare, I also...
I would say Ulysses by Homeros. The trilogy by Janet Morris: Beyond Sanctuary, Beyond the Veil and Beyond Wizardwall, all make me think of Glorantha, RQ and HQ...

Jan ... You know, most people who played it actually liked it. And it's not quite like other computer games, so you might like it too... ... I don't recall...
Greg, Harald Smith and I had a very long series of discussions about the First Age some time ago. Eventually I think we hope to have those discussions and...
... Depends precisely what you want to do. My approach was 'here's a good game, how do I give it a Gloranthan feel?'. To do that I didn't even look at all the...
... I'm sure I would. It's just that I already do enough things I like to keep me occupied for, say, 36 hours a day. "Have a go at Morrowind" keeps slipping...
Those who are more completionist than me about their Gloranthan collection might like to note that issues 1-8 of "Pavic Tales" are on Ebay at the moment. The...

I guess this thread has been answered but I just wanted to add that some of the most evocative Dawn Age stuff happens in and near Dorastor. Dorastor has the...
