[url=http://uaf.sourceforge.net/]Dungeon Craft[/url] is an attempt to re-create the style of the old SSI games. With much better graphics and sound, I might add.

Basically Unlimited Adventures with a huge facelift (and there are plenty of [url=http://frua.rosedragon.org/]FRUA[/url] mods still around. (Give the oriental adventures world conversion a spin, it's great.)

Dungeoncraft can even import old FRUA designs, art, and other stuff too. It's open-source (Currently windows only), and you can add whatever you like to it.

I'm making a game with it myself. The rules are easily edited too, if anyone should tackle a later edition.

Redwall. Drizzt. Kentucky. Enough said.

I was weaned on 2E Baldur's Gate. Learned 3.5E, and can't stand 4E WoF. (Though I try not to mess up canon too badly).

Link-fix

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing. I'm considering building 'Monument of the Ancients' with this toolset.

You're very welcome. Glad I could be of service to one of the great chroniclers of Realms' history.

I would love to see MotA in this format. But isn't the engine built on 2E-style game rules?

Neat!

I can't wait to see the result of this effort, Brian.

1e actually. But what's wrong with that?

Besides, you can edit the engine too.
