DBP20: Dungeons and Demons

[Catpho]

There's almost nothing as boring as being stationed on a backwater Deimos base - maybe playing some DnD with the squad will liven things up?

Dungeons and Demons is an 8-map limit-removing episode for Doom II from various members of Doomer Boards. In the words of adventuresmith @xvertigox, this month's project lead, Dungeons and Demons "is an one shot DND campaign played one slow Sunday afternoon on a dingy UAC base. Can you find the Daikantana Staff and make it out with your life? Will you try to take on the BBEG too early and end up having to re-roll your character? Grab your die and lets find out."

 

You heard it Doomers! Roll for initiative!

Please tell me this has a dungeon synth soundtrack. Screenies look sweet!

[elend]

Gonna check this oooooouuuuuuuuut. Currently playing "Alone" just to catch up a bit. xD

Nice theme and a pretty fun play through. I prefer the initial run of five escalating short-to-mid-length maps before the difficulty and monster density go wild at the end. MAP02 and MAP04 are a little more clever and complex than the ones around them, IMO, although the dice secret in MAP06 is the real stand-out trick of the set.

Finally they embraced the purple!!

[Misty]

Someone said purple? that looks great!

Glad people are interested :) I'll be fixing up a couple of HOMs on map03 and putting out RC2 tonight with the complete credits.txt

So this story is about some random marines having a DnD campaign somewhere in E2M5 before Deimos got sucked into hell turning them into zombiemen and shotgun guys. Neat.

[xvertigox]

RC2 is up now with HOM fixes on map03, skullkey replacing keycard in map04, slightly more verbose intermission text warning of ghosts in map07 and, of course, credit. 

If anyone sees any issues let me know please!

Whoo!  The first DBP of 2020!  Looks pretty good too.

[Lord_Z]

Looks great! I quite like the skybox and the shot with the ship.

[Doomkid]

The purple sky, great title pic and quality screenshots have me sold!

[Noiser]

Beautiful as always! I love the purple sky!

This makes me wonder, will the DB qrew try to make maps for other games like Heretic or Hexen?

I donno if we’ll ever venture into making an actual Heretic/Hexen project (I personally don’t have much experience with either game, unfortunately). You never know what an enterprising project leader might cook up, though! As far as I see it, the DBP series will stay Doom-based, at least under hood, though some projects might take some major inspiration from other games. In fact, we’re already cooking up something that riffs on a certain Doom predecessor...

Are we gonna be fighting the Ghoulstapo?

[Big Ol Billy]

Let’s just say y’all will be calling me Big Ol’ Billy Blazkowicz this time next month XD

[Firedust]

Three levels in and this is brilliant so far! Perhaps one day, you guys will make a multi-episode megawad centered around some very arbitrary story :)

Broken in GZDoom because of the skullkeys.
