I agree with just about every point Vorondir made.

I just started playing Champions of Krynn, which I never actually played before. One major thing I miss about the old days is being able to play so quickly/intuitively with just the keyboard, generally with one hand.

As a now middle aged man with a toddler running around, this is huge. A “first letter hotkey” based interface seems to be a thing of the past, but it’s a thing of beauty.

1. Purely turn based, including exploration mode (regardless of 1st/3rd person).
2. Possible to play quickly/intuitively with keyboard alone.

In all honesty, I’d pay $50 for a game built on an engine virtually identical to the last GBG, like Dark Queen, only optimized for higher resolution.

I just picked up the Kender and the Knight in Throtl (I knew that first fighter was a liar right away and killed him). Wish me luck, I’m off in search of Caramon.

I need to go play poolrad again. It’s been a very long time.

Trying to level enough to get fireball before going to the island.

Cursing that freaking basilisk in the library.

Good times.

I’m in.

So can you provide any more details on the interface or mechanics?

First person exploration? Step or smooth scrolling? Overhead tactical map? Grid/Hex based tactical map? Magic and abilities cooldown/usage based or action point based? Etc.
