to load just fine. I was wondering what the play disc was actually for? I
know it has the manual and stuff on it but is there any required game files?
thanks

i had Burne make me a scroll of Bull's Strength so mu wizard can learn
it, but when i give her the scroll the 'copy scroll' option does not
appear. it's a low level spell and she's level 8 so i can't think of
why she shouldn't be able to learn the darn spell. is this a bug or

I am just at the stage of creating my party and I am still unsure whether or
not to include a rogue. In most AD&D-based CRPGs I have played I never
really had much use for the thief-like classes besides occassional
lockpicking - another cleric, paladin or sorcerer seems much more ...

Minor gripe, besides the game being too short and there being no
difficulty setting in between Ironman and normal. They stack
encumberance when they obviously should not. Where chainmail armor and
your movement drops to 20 as it should. Put on chainmail boots and it

How do I get the ogres in the cave to join the fire temple?  He said I could
knock em out and drag them if I had to.  And I have to.  It's my only
option.  But when I knock out the chief or kill him nothing happens, no new
dialogue options, nothing.

Is there any way we can play via Lan locally without shelling out more cash?
Asked this a while back, but moved in the interm.

for pretty much the same info :O)  Basically Atari have told AVault,
according to AVault, that a patch will be released but that they are
not prepared yet to detail the fixes.

other than Burne in Hommlet, is there anywhere to buy spell scrolls to
copy for my wizard?

Ultimate Baseball Online (http://www.ultimatebaseballonline.com/) has
started beta signups.
So... there's Inside the Park, a baseball RPG, and Ultimate Baseball Online,
a baseball MMORPG. Where's basketball, football, soccer, hockey, etc? :)

anyone know what a unicorn ring is/does?  i can't seem to find it in
the 3.0 DMG (and frankly i am among those who think it's really stupid
to make gamers have to look this crap up in source books; bad move,
Troika).

Despite all the bitching and moaning
(and all my bitching and moaning) ToEE
is a very good game (or rather there is a

I was able to choose 2 weapon fighting during character formation, but when
I got in game it tells me there is no hand free to take the 2nd weapon.  I
tried removing the mandolin but same thing.  Is it true that bard cannot
dual wield or am I doing something wrong or have to level?

Howdy all, a few quick questions here - first of all, is Ultima 9 worth
playing?  I've heard some pretty bad things about it - hardcore fans of the
series seems to hate it, while others seems to like it...   I've managed to
locate a copy of the Dragon Edition (I'm a fan of the ...
