grimori , you must in properties of directory canceled "only read"

I've been looking for recent or upcoming games in this vein myself, the pen and paper, statistics tweaking sort of game... having had a nostalgia attack recently upon finding the (fortunately intact) cd for Shadows Over Riva, and the first 2 on abandonware.
Any suggestions about forums or sites where I might inquire would be appreciated.
I've tried D&D TOEE, NWN, Elder Scrolls, Dungeon Siege etc.

The dosbox instructions are useful btw, so thanks all!

Huh? :blink:

If you are looking for a good pen-paper RPG with the feel from Realms of Arkania you should try out Ars Magica :ok:

Thanks! I might have played ars magica in recent years and think I liked it....hard to recall, having played so many...

I should clarify though, I'm hoping to find PC based RPG's in such a style, as the job, girlfriend and such limit my serious roleplaying options at the moment...plus a limitted pool of gamers in my town...

I don't think you'll find any PC game based upon this one, aside from that one from 1999 or 2001, but I don't recall it's name now. It wasn't based on the same story as the trilogy, but was playing in the same world. From what I remember though, it was not very good one...

understood...I'm happy with anything of this style actually, although I do love this gameworld. By style I mean, party based, detailed statistics and customization, the detail with food, foraging and such was great too. Maybe someone will put Ars Magica to PC someday :D

But wait, I forgot to mention the Realms of Arkannia - The Northlands trilogy. If you don't know it yet, try it out. The first two parts, Blade of Destiny and Startrail are available on this site for download. ;)

Are you tired again, Freddy?

He is IN the topic for one of the games... My bet is he knows of it :sneaky:
:lol: :lol:

Not tired, just bit busy with organizing anything for the party. ;)

Is someone a LOTR fan? I have seen so many LOTR characters in the RPG section.....just wondering! :D :D :D :D :D :D
