    Subsection Updates - Games -> Pool of Radiance: RoMD

    I have been notified of a nifty program that allows you to change the speed of the game, so I promptly added it to the Editors, Hacks & Custom Characters subsection.

    And now for something I've been promising you for a long time...
    I finally got around to doing the Pool of Radiance screenshots gallery. It features 196 shots from various areas of the game, presented in (more or less) the order they were released on the Internet. Yup, none of them are mine alone, I've simply collected them all and weeded out the duplicates so that you're presented with the finest of the bunch.

    Curiously enough, it came to my attention while I was making this gallery that some of the early screenshots are not screenshots at all - they're fakes, images produced in a graphic program by combining sprites, interface, background and spell effects. You'll find most of this old batch on Page 1 of the gallery.
    And if you look closer, you'll even notice that quite a number of early screenshots have completely smooth edges where on later screenshots there are much more jagged edges. Another trick they used to make them look better. Tsk, tsk...

    Subsection Updates - Games -> Baldur's Gate 2

    By popular demand, I've put back online the Evil Dialogues Override that has been removed when the Happy Group patch was released. If you want it, you can get it from Page 2 of the Editors, Hacks & Custom Characters subsection.

    Subsection Updates -> Fantasy Books

    The entire Fantasy Books section has been expanded by another line in the links panel, and I've rearranged the names a bit to fit them all in. Of the new sections only the C.S. Lewis one has been completed, the rest are still under construction. I will try to fill them as soon as possible.

    In the previously existing subsections a couple of updates have been made. In the Terry Pratchett books subsection I've added his latest book, The Last Hero. In the Forgotten Realms books subsection (Page 1) I've added a downloadable sample chapter of Salvatore's latest Drizzt novel, Sea of Swords. And in the Miscellaneous books subsection I've added the Harry Potter Boxed Set, and changed some of the links of the Harry Potter books.

    Subsection Updates -> Fantasy Worlds

    One new story was added to the Fantasy Fiction subsection, and some of the links have been fixed. The tags on stories have also been fixed, since I mixed some up the last time.

    And now - fanfare please! The Fantasy Movies subsection lives, thanks to Gash who kindly volounteered to provide me with enough material to make it. He already contributed one review, one guide, two info pages and a news page. He's eager to do more so expect a review of the Dungeons & Dragons movie next week, and more updates & material in the weeks to come.
    We will also be adding more images & trailers to sparkle things up. Stay tuned!
