Great stuff so far. Not perfect, but very good, and satisfies my nostalgia for BT, which I played back in the day. Been having a ton of fun with DW so far. Heck, the gameplay beats the crap out of a lot of more "modern" RPGs.
Here's some newbie questions & comments:
* My rogue is admitedly not so bright (IQ 13), but I don't think he's spotted a single trap yet, and he's up to lvl 20 now. Should he be? I have to cast Cthonic Warning if I want any chance at all of spotting traps before setting them off.
* I've been crafting bronze arrows, since the shops have run out of all types of arrows. This works OK, but man, it's a big pain

* Any way to know when CTWA and similar effects have gone away? I don't see an icon for it, nor is it listed in the character pages, that I can see.
* The AI sometimes seems... less than brilliant in the face of ranged fire. I notice this with various types of rogues, but also with some other melee creatures. They'll stand there at 40 ft, popping in and out of shadows, getting cut down by a withering field of arrow fire, never actually coming close enough to damage me. Not real bright, these rogues.

* Would be nice to be able to review the battle record after each round, like with a scrollbar or some such. Right now, after the battle finishes, boom, it's gone, and AFAIK you can't go back to see something important if you missed it.
* I had to consult the forms to find the Dark Woman. Maybe I'm a bit dim, but the hint on here whereabouts had me looking outside, a few steps from the castle. I didn't know if she'd appear there, or what. It didn't occur to me to go looking inside buildings for her, since somehow in my mind the interior of buildings didn't quality as a few steps from the castle.
* Are poison arrows worth it?
* After clearing out an area, do I need to retain the key used to access it? Seems a shame to chew up the inventory space...
* Is it correct that one cannot visit any of the cities on the map on page 5 of the docs, except for Rennibister?
That's it for now I suppose. Great oldschool RPG here. Much good fun. Creature pictures are top notch. It's sort of what BT is in my memory, although in reality even the 'miggy version didn't have gfx as nice as this

Now if someone will just make an updated Arctic Fox...
