*The Adventurers' Guild

IF your playing BT1 you might not want to read this as its kind of a spoiler but I found the mad god's burial preperation chamber in the catacombs. I was excited when I found it thinking I would find something cool like a special weapon or something quest related but it just says its the burial cham...

I finished reading A Fortress of Frost and Fire and I wouldn't say they have anything to do with the Bard's Tale game. It appears that it was just a tricky way to sell some books back when the game were still popular. The only similarity is the story has a bard in it that has magic in his playing ab...

Just cast a Scry Site spell (SCSI). It will show you where you are in the dungeon. The entry stairs of the first level are always at 0N 0E, and position given by the spell is given from this point (for exemple, when you arrive at first level of the sewers (so after the wine cellar), you are 2 level...

In fact, I finished the game and still wondering what was the purpose of this specific statue. Maybe it was just for background purpose : a strange cult in the sewers, proof of the dark influence of Mangar's presence. Besides that, I don't think it was a typo. You can encounter spiders also, and ma...

In level 1 of the sewers I found a statue of a spider. When I choose to search it it said I was being attacked by 1 "Spinner". Was that a typo in the game? Was it supposed to read attacked by 1 "spider"? What was the purpose of the statue? Will I find out later in the game or is ...

I noticed in Bard's Tale I when your in a dungeon and you reach the edge of a map it moves you to the other side of the map. That makes it kind of hard to make the map! Any advice on how to know when you have moved past the edge of the map? I know they are 22x22 but that doesn't much help if you don...

Playing this version as well using Vice Emulator. For some reason I like this version best, most likey because it's what I started with.

It's always overwhelming to see that there are so many people out there that still have that strong affinity to this great game! I am one of them!! :D I think there are still quite a few of us around. The mainstream console market has really killed us I think, the dev shops all want the big money w...

Well, making your on (pen&paper) maps in front of the screen when playing such games like BT, Ultima, Dungeon Master etc was a major part of the fun in those glorious days of old ;) I still remember kneeling in front of the TV in turns with a friend, copying Ultime 3 maps on paper, our backs a ...

Ok, well I will read at least the first one and let you know if there are any similarities to the games.

I love these games and I haven't played them since I was probably about 14 or 15 when I played through most of Destiny Knight. It's one of my fondest memories on the C64. I remember playing BT1 a bit but not that much of it as I recall I wasn't really sure what to do in it. So anyway, Im playing thr...

Has anyone read any of them? I recently started re-playing Bard's Tale I on a C64 emulator so I decided to start reading the Novel called "A Fortress of Frost and Fire" that says it's set in the Bard's Tale Universe mad popular by the the games. So far im only about 80 pages or so into it ...
