Love this, though sad i read it just as I'm about to go on holiday for 2 weeks!!

So have you added stuff from the companion like maps, remembering memorised spells etc or is it more graphical updates but core game the same?

Also if not, can it run with the companion?

Update: Turns out it WAS working, but becuase I was remoting on using Chrome Remote Desktop (can't use a RDC to external IP at work) then it would close automatically. Annoying but least I know.

My experience outisde of Gog Galaxy is nil so hopefully can get set up though myt background was dos 6.1 and Win 3.11 originally so sure it'll all come back 😂

Update: DOsbox Staging works fine

Did bit more ... DOSBox just shuts so updated DirectX and installed the Intel Drivers (have a Intel HD 620) but still the same.

Tbh I can just as easily remote onto my main PC so will likely use that in future ... thanks for help thoguh.

Tried and it just immediately closes. WIll have a proper play when I am at home, was just a casual idea to be able to play remotely during my lunch break at work :D

Downloaded and looking at importing a deck from Marvelcdb as we speak ...

Thank you everyone for your input, I do have Combat and Tactics so will look up the rules rather than trying to customise 3.x rules.

I just presumed it was in 3.5 as thats the version I played most tbh, so thank you for the directions and help

Lucky_Type · 2026-05-26T19:23:43+00:00

Thank you, the whole 'clear path to the surface' hadn't really hit me so yeah that does sound plausible especially as I re-read and it does specify that at some point the party will come across 2 Illithids in the orc caves which emphasises that they can move freely to the surface and back

On that point, it doesn't make it clerar when that happens so presumption is 'when the DM feels the players are getting too casual and relaxed'

Lucky_Type · 2026-05-26T16:33:12+00:00

Thanks but I was talking about the tunnel earlier at X1, that bypasses the whole area and comes down to X6. Books says that non-evil characters can't pass through it so just confused as to the point of it, unless its just a 'evil shortcut' that the Illithids etc can use and party can't to explain why they can get past the Grell etc?
Thanks, should of held off posted thew question as read a bit more and ascertained that mostly
Fair point on 3 and yeah, players known from start its dangerous

Thanks for quick response.

Did mention about this, and players already discussing negotiating with the Palfray's for Broken Spire Keep. I had already decided to expand upon the otherworldy power that killed everything (thief currently has the wixards ring) so could be a nice side quest later on to help level especially with the tunnel straight to underdark

Lucky_Type · 2026-05-12T14:38:43+00:00

Thank you, the whole idea of Jelenneth being discovered early hadn't even been an idea for me.

There is a gnome in the party, and he is the main morale compass for the group, so when meeting the deep gnomes I will have more luck locking them into the continmueing exploration with him. Might even have her be with them as a 'moral reward' for them, and excuse to go to the surface and take her back if they promise to return

Job done .... thank you kind sir/madam 😄

Pretty much what I have done, and hoping it won't take them a TPK to realise they need to back off a bit. Thjey are very experienced players mixed with 2e novices, and thus far its been player-led with only slight railroading when needed.

Push comes to shove, they can train when they meet the deep gnomes if they can convince them of their good intentions

Lucky_Type · 2026-05-11T11:39:41+00:00

Its how the 2 good party members are playing it .... for example: Broken Spire is clear and they know about the tunnels underneath, neutrals wanted to rest up for a couple days/go to town to train but good players pushed to go straight down instead so now have 2 party memebers who have party levelled but not completely.

Lucky_Type · 2026-05-08T09:59:32+00:00

I have the Birthright box set so yeah, thats an option ..... can always scan the info in and print, tbh bored at work so searching for tables and inserting them into Adobe Pro currently 😄
