FROSTBORN, computer games, and ICEWIND DALE

Now closing out the day with some classic ICEWIND DALE.

I really like dungeon crawl RPGs. If you’ve ever read any of the FROSTBORN books, this fact is evident given the amount of time the protagonists spend in dwarven and dark elven ruins. 🙂

Actually, in the first version of the FROSTBORN outline, the entire book series was supposed to be one massive dungeon crawl. In the original conception, Ridmark was a knight unjustly accused of murder, and sentenced to die by banishment to a massive Moria-like dungeon. In every book he would descend to a deeper level of the dungeon. I eventually decided that the idea could not stand on its own and so modified it quite a bit, but I still like the idea of a series of books covering one massive dungeon crawl.
