One:
I once heard something about a bug in the original DROD that didn\'t let you complete one of the rooms in level 16. I was just wondering which room it was and what the bug was.

Two:
Erik, when can we expect the next chapter of \"Beethro the Delver?\"

I can\'t remember, except that I think there was tar and other monsters in it, and you would kill everything but the room would stay unconquered.

Yay! Somebody cares about my stories!

The third chapter is about 75% written. Artwork is done. There is music that goes with it too, performed by my friend Alan Reid. (You get to hear music that Beethro hears in the story, and learn something about the story from the music.) A new character is introduced, and Beethro finally starts to pursue a goal. I think it will be a good chapter.

Well, I know it goes against the topic name, but I just thought of a third question:

Who wrote that story \"The Wormspeaker?\" I think that style of writting is really cool, and I think there should be more written using \"Sihmpuhl Englihsh.\"

That was me again. Eventually, I should get around to more verses. There is also sihmpuhl englihsh in the first chapter of Beethro the Delver, though much harder to decipher than that which is found in the Wormspeaker.

The room that couldn\'t be cleared on 16 was 3S,1E. That was in versions prior to 1.11 of Webfoot DROD which also had a problem with the labyrinth (13)... It was unsolvable. Yipe!

Well that would make level 13 much more interesting to play.
