Most of these "old games" are pre-2000 DOS titles. Whether any newer are regularly uploaded to abandonware sites I do not know (except maybe Quake), but the sheer sizes makes the line between abandonware and warez thin.

Examples? I found it kludgy and counterintuitive. Menus that take half of the screen? No, thanks.

Please change Str 12 back to 13. Feats with ability score requirements use odd numbers.

Free 0-level spells mean unlimited healing outside of battle with a divine caster (Cure Minor Wounds).

Why will he get no XP from the killing?

But it's a zip file! You can't get infected by opening it. In fact, you don't have to open it at all, if you don't want to. Just save to disk and use unzip or whatever to unpack it.

Isn't it time for a Windows reinstall? You know it's gonna happen every now and then :)

What is your definition of "distinct creature"? Are dragon age categories "distinct creatures"? What about sized versions of a monster (elementals etc.)?

No spells slots or mana points, fatigue determines how long you can keep casting. For each spell beyond the limit alloted per character level make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + spell level + number of spells beyond the limit) or become fatigued (then exhausted etc.) Works best when using a classless...

You have to get all three if you want to install WoG.

Not that you needed more. A colony ship, quick fighter (small), quick bomber (small to medium), line ship (medium) and heavy destroyer (large) are all I can think of. And before you could mass produce anything, the technology used was already obsolete.

Only the the program doesn't use Windows Scripting Host, MSDAC or third party libraries. Really, I was never able to run anything more complicated that Solitaire. It just isn't worth the bother for me. Also, if you install Windows DLLs on Linux without actually installing the system aren't you...

Well, of course it's wrong (as in "legally wrong"), but what do you expect of people raised in today's consumer culture? They don't even bother with justifications of "I will buy this software once I earn enough using a pirated copy" (which actually happens not very often). I agree that OO is...

Which gaming apps except PCGen can you run on Linux? You can count them on one hand, for sure. Because it's a gaming forum, I just won't mention other apps that are Windows only (usually closed source, even though they are freeware), and have no Linux equivalents. I have had no complaint...

Based on the image above, quick symbols can be made using the Unicode block characters (U+250A-U+25DB). For example, apply white/black diamond, circle, square and triangle to opposing schools of magic. Not all fonts have them, though.

What a deplorable end of an erstwhile great strategy/RPG, reduced to a puzzle anime game, small-brains-big-eyes style. But this is an official trend. Warlords I was groundbreaking for its genre. W2 was solid, but not flamboyant. W2Deluxe was just more of the same with better graphics. W3 was a...

Indeed. Get H3 + expansions + WOG for almost twice the units than in the first release (almost 200 - more are unlikely to be added since there is a limit of 255 units). And Master of Magic? It may be old (1993 IIRC) but still has no rival in the field of fantasy themed 4Xs. The closest was Age...

What'd you recommend then? Logarithmic? Inverse proportional? I'm afraid that any concept that uses more than basic arithmetic is too difficult to apply in actual play (short of having an Excel sheet handy). Actually, the system was not originally conceived for pen & paper roleplaying, but...

Here's another take at the mana point system: All classes get a number of spell dice equal to their hit dice plus their spellcasting modifier (Wis/Int/Cha as per class description): d4: rangers, paladins d6: bards, adepts (NPCs) d8: druids, clerics d10: wizards, sorcerers d12: reserved for...

www.wesnoth.org It's like the good old Battle Isle, only without ranged attacks (all units can only attack adjacent squares).
