I would like to request the ability to enter special characters for level descriptions, scrolls, etc., such as é, è, ß; say if one wanted to make levels in languages other than English.

Cheers,
-Nick

I'm not Caravel, but I don't see any chance of this happening.

The fonts that are used in JtRH does not contain those characters.

Oh, and Banjooie, I assume you mean "Whoa, there are languages other than American English"?

Try Copy-Paste. DROD uses Unicode.

No, silly, we're pulling your chain. It's just wastelands and sea serpents out there.

I'm afraid I don't know the place either, so perhaps Someone Else can help you...

Where is America? I'm only familiar with the Dugandy and Ephelma areas. Someone told me it was east from Claythro Tower and north when you get to the Rooted Empire. But I don't believe them.

You have to get exploded straight up from the north pole to get there.

Christmas Funtime 2008 by Chaco

Tired of all these wordplay and lateral thinking puzzles? Want to just return to the familiarities of DROD? Here's your opportunity! Be careful what you wish for...

Enclosed here is a hold consisting of three sections, each with four puzzles. This hold is larger and tougher than last year and I'd like to think you, the reader, are going to get stuck on at least one puzzle here.

Feel free to PM me for hints or post in the Santa Hunt thread. The password is given at the hold ending screen. (And this hold is Conquerors Edit, so no cheating!)

Have fun! :)

I believe that "America" is in reality Clarbag, as I've heard both described as "land of the kingless". Of course, I've also heard that "America" is ruled by a dictator named Bush (funny name eh?).
