The Minstrel's Song 2.0 released.

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.announce,rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

I am releasing The Minstrel's Song version 2.0. The Minstrel's Song is
both a tabletop role playing game and a computer game. which now
includes (tile) graphics.

The Minstrel's Song is heavy on world building, and I've made
substantial effort to dig deep when I was creating their cultures. The
first complaint that was made of the computer game was that it was "too
rich" of a world. In the computer game, there is a series of quests,
but the world is designed to allow nonlinear exploration and play. If
you've ever wanted a game where you weren't constrained to the
designer's path but could run after your own creative challenges, you
may like The Minstrel's Song.

I have devoted a major section of my website to both the tabletop
roleplaying game and the computer at:

I have a new release of a very nostalgic, retro "roguelike" computer
game at:
