Alzrius said:. Click to expand I hope the film comes back - it was really a nice summary of Arneson's contributions. I had a few minor technical issues subtitles overlaying info boxes, some documents shown too short , but generally it was both entertaining and informative. Dire Bare It isn't as bad as you are expecting. It definitely has a strong flavor of Arne not being properly recognized for his contributions.
But it is not anti-Gygax. It tries to debunk some of the claims that Arneson just shared some ideas but Gary put in all the work. But it doesn't overstate it.
Arneson just never had the output, just was not as industrious or as charismatic as Gygax. But Arneson did more for the hobby than simply share some ideas to stoke Gygax's imagination. I backed this on Kickstarter and am also backing the Gygax documentary from Geeks of Yore. I love learning about the history of the hobby. Secrets of Blackmore is at least worth streaming on Amazon Prime. So is Eye of the Beholder. MNblockhead said:. Dire Bare said:. What do you think of the film itself?

The level of spookiness achieved in The Curse of Blackmoor Manor is truly commendable. With each creaking door entered you will feel the eerie history of this aged mansion thanks to the wonderful sound effects and background music.
Voice acting is also very well done, including charming British accents and realistic dialogue. Many dialogue options, as well as actions, are interdependent on one another which means that some features will not be unlocked until other actions are performed, such as talking to daughter Jane in order to receive an important call. The upside is this produces a longer and more difficult game overall. The downside is at times it can be difficult to know who to talk to or where to look to unlock necessary information which slows the game down immensely and can easily lead to boredom.
Mini-games included are diverse, including jigsaw puzzles, matching card games, computer games and more. While amusing, most mini-games are not required to solve the mystery at hand which will come as a delight to players who are only interested in the adventure and dislike these miniature challenges.
