For some strange reason I can't get to http://www.microwavesoft.com/rpgd/ to look at the RPG Daemon (UN*X clone of TProBBS, the ultra-cool RPG BBS known as "Drag/Net II: The Realm of Darkness").

I know of certain kick-ass developments being done within the Drag/Net community...mooowooohahahahahaha What've you heard?

Something nice:

Guy T. Rice is the guy who wrote the original TProBBS.

I'll soon have more TPro than one can shake a stick at.

There's a true-to-form version under development as we speak, and it's pretty darn hoopy.

It has been a few years, but rest assured I'm still working on this!


GWIII Posted: 12-May-05 11:48
Um yeah.. we had no doubts about that....

Yes, I wrote the Amiga port of the TProBBS game back in 1992, then to Linux in 1999. The web site is still available at http://games.microwavesoft.com/rpgd

Happy Hunting!

I've been looking for something like this for a LONG TIME. I had to sell my IIgs when I moved to college back in '93 and prior to that, I had been working with Guy T. Rice on TProBBS II v5.0, which was much more of a messaging and file transfer system than a gaming BBS. I've been trying to track Guy down and see about getting some code from him again, since all I have are the original 3.5" floppy discs and no drives to read them.

I'm curious if anyone else is out there from the old TProBBS v4.2f days - the Minnesota scene (where Guy live(d)) was really hopping back in the 80's. I ran a few BBS's back then (Rebel Isle, Forbidden Kingdom and The Future BBS) and was fortunate enough to hook up with Guy and a friend of his (Dark Rider from Darksword BBS - I am leaving his name out intentionally.) Those were the good old days.

I'm working on a Mac OS X 10.5 port of rpgd, though my C development skills are nothing like what I used to be able to do in Apple BASIC and 65C02 assembly language.
