OK, Pat & Lucca - you wanted me to start a new topic so we can play M&M8 together, so here it is.  I'll start a new game today. How far have you gotten, Pat? What kind of party do you have? Anyone else who wants to play is welcome! Barb

Hi Syd, glad you're on board. None of the M&Ms are continuous. You start out in different locations & the story line is different.
Ingie, I don't know about downloads - M&M8 won't play on XP for me, so I use an old computer.

Hello. My version of M&M8 runs on XP with no problems and patches and otherwise nefarious stuff. It's only 6 and 7 that were a problem. 6 only ran on 98 and 7 didn't run at all I talked to Pat, she's already way ahead of me. I only just got to Ravenshore and I'm looking for some guy to teach me the art of killing people with a bow... yay. Well, I got gold, I'm killing many baddies... life is good.

One of the great things about this game is that you can add party members as you go along, and get rid of those you don't like. I've forgotten - was the vampire available at first? I found him ever so helpful early on because of the levitation thing,but not so after a while. And the wizards that can become liches were so powerful, just loved them!

Hi Lucca - good to see you! In this game, you only start out with one character. You can pick up a cleric & a knight right away, & eventually you can have 3 dragons, who are awesome fighters. I chose a necromancer to start with, because I will pick up another later & I like to have 2. Necromancers are the same as sorcerers in the previous games.Just make sure the one you pick is what you want, because he's the only one you can't get rid of later. Pokey - the Abandoned Temple is one you have to do, since it's the only way off Daggerwound at first. Nickie, I think there's a vampire you can hire at the adventure's guild on Daggerwound. I just got started & have a necromancer, the cleric, Frederick Talimere, & the knight Simon Templar. I'm going to deliver the cure disease potions & see if I can make a level before trying the abandoned temple (which isn't quite abandoned!) Barb

Jeez I'm not sure what I'm doing  I decided to be a troll because my son suggested it and man is he ugly (the troll, not my son)  I have the cleric and necromancer right now. It took me forever to figure out how to find out where the spell book is and to cast spells. These bucaneers are knocking me around but good. I hope I can find an archer pretty soon. At the rate I'm going I'll be in this town forever.

I've never used a dark elf, Pokey, but it sounds interesting. She won't be able to use an axe or spear & can't wear plate armor. She can learn magic, but not at the highest levels. You'll probably want to keep the necromancer since he can grandmaster Water & Air.
Syd, a troll is a good fighter, but can't use magic of any kind.
Every character can learn Bow. There's a weapon shop in town, True Mettle, where you might be able to learn bow for everyone.
