Note: This newsletter started with Bryan Turner two years ago, and was discontinued after the eight issue. The issues ran on a quarterly basis from March 01, 1997 through March 06, 1998. Some of you will know me already from frequent email conversations I've had with my Lord friends over the last three years; some may know about my Castle Camelot web-site, -- URL updated 01/08/2003 -- which I created for private use in July 1996, and went online with in April 1997. For the past year, I've been doing my best to keep Lord authors and fans notified of where to find new Lord-related web-sites and programs. I am also the maintainer and author of the Lord Links page available on the Kiteria's Korner! site -- (12/02/02: OFF-LINE), which was run for a long time by Suzanne Franklin, with Bryan's help, and is now hosted by Bobby Queen. I decided it was time, a couple of months ago, to find out if Bryan would restart the newsletter once Lord v4.05 was released by my friend Michael Preslar. Bryan told me I could take over doing the newsletter if I wanted to. After a week or so of thought, I decided to try doing this project. Bryan is still active in his support of Lord and BBS-ing, but wanted to spend his time on other projects.
My BBS history consisted of several years of using dozens of BBS in my area, Northwest Alabama, the Quad-Cities region specifically, where I was a co-sysop for a couple of years on several boards. I have for a long time taken care of getting Lord programs that I find placed online on the major Lord file sites, such as the NightFall Games LORD Archives Site, and my own Camelot LordNews FDN site. (Revised sentence 01/15/2004.) People can do this if they don't have a web-site by sending me their Lord, Lord II, Tournament Lord, or Planets: TEOS programs via Email File Attachment. 04/11/02: Lord II authors should send their programs to me for posting online or on Fidonet.

12/10/99: The LORD Cavern v1.4 and The Outlands Tavern v1.3 are now availiable for download! 12/15/99: Howdy all! Well, looks like there may be a bug in the LORD Cavern, and I'm waiting for more feedback from my tester. However The Outlands Tavern looks like it's 100% so far! Testing my new IGM The Gateway has gone super, and it looks like it can be released any time now. All it needs is more RHP scripts. :) As for a new version of LORDSTAT... I need to fix some column separation errors, and that can be out. That one isn't a priority. Fortunately, everything is ship-shape. If LORD is changed in any major way, I'll probably do the work myself to make my IGMs compatible! In the unlikely event that I don't do that, I'll make sure to give the code to someone that will. Oh, and did you know that The LORD Cavern is now freeware? :) I very well will probably not do any more new IGMs or utilities, as I have larger programming projects in mind. Right now I'm working with Unreal Tournament coding. I guess that's all for now! 07/20/01 Update: Deleted 04/03/01 edit notes. Status is now Inactive, has quit LORD programming.

I have plans to write a LORD-IGM but since my idea is rather complex, ... I'm not sure when or if I'll be ever able to create it. The basis behind it is a quest that you undergo to find things and meet NPCs and players on their quests as well. It will also have certain options in the main menu such as a Marriage Church and a place to go on a honeymoon so people can't take your stuff. (IGM will reset the stats even if they are killed but it will only do so when the person logs on again). As far as other options, I'm not sure as of yet but am open to suggestions. My IGM will protect the player in the aspect that if they are killed, once they log on again, it'll resurrect them, and give them their stuff back. ... Oh just to mention something funny about ALE. I found out in the new version, I'll have support for roughly 9 million players or so. Lord itself only supports 150 players and 131 monsters. I made mine variant so it can supports many more which is funny:). ... BTW, if you wanted to know what the name of the IGM I am eventually going to write is, it will be called: "City of the Sapphire Gold" :) Notes: Mike is one of the members of the Elysium Software group. 03/27/01 Status: Fully active. 08/20/01: Updated email address link. 10/02/01: Fixed web-site link. 09/07/02: Replaced email address link. 03/10/03: Replaced web-site link. 01/15/2004: Web-site has been shut down for several months.
Elric (Jay Weber) -- EarthDrake Software
Robert Fogt: 08/27/99: I won't be doing any more versions of any of my IGMs. I sold all of my DOS programs to someone who has put them on a CD. I still own all previously released versions, but he owns the rights to all future releases, and the source code. I have switched to web programming. Right now I am working on a Web-based on-line role playing game. It's similar to lord, but it's graphical, and is played online with your web browser. It should be in beta testing stage in a month or so. 12/16/00: The Ocean View Resort IGM for Planets:TEOS has been released as freeware. Version 2.13 contains a registration code generator you can use to make registration codes to enter. I released version 2.13 on DDS. I'll dig through my archives and find the source code and release that as well. If anyone wants to own the rights to it, I'd be willing to give that away too. Just let me know before I release the source code or give it to somebody else. Right now most of my efforts are in Perl and CGI programming. I have written a couple games and many utilities, including a popular web based chat program. Notes: Hal's other Lord programs are the Lord Menu utility, The Outhouse IGM, and the Sansi Converter Lord/Lord2 utility. His other TEOS programs are the Immigration Office IGM, and the PlanFair utility.
12/11/01 Notes: Robert is a Former Lord/Lord2/TEOS author, who has released his programs as Freeware. The Outhouse IGM and LordMenu utility programs have the RTE 200 problem, and are being recompiled and updated by Lloyd Hannesson. Lloyd has taken over both programs as his own. The Ocean View Resort is being reviewed for needed changes by Lloyd and Michael Preslar. Robert has not located source code for his other programs. Original update notes for Nov. 11, 2000; Apr. 06, 2001; and Nov. 28, 2001 rewritten. For further information, see LordNews Issue #9, and LordNews Issue #10. 01/15/04: I assumed support of Outhouse IGM in 2003 from Lloyd and it is available as The Forest Outhouse v2.20 now.

Joe Marcelletti -- IceRage Technologies (CLOSED)
12/11/01 Notes: The original IceRage site closed in May 2000. Joe's email account was also closed at that time. Current Icerage site started by Shannon Talley in mid-July 2001, located at www.fidotel.com/public/icerage/. For about 2 months, Marcelletti only corresponded with people through Shannon. Around September he publicized his own email address in the IceRage Mailing list. If you are interested in it, you can sign up on the IceRage web-site. Free registration keys for the basic 2-node version are available. The unlimited node version costs $50.00. Proceeds are being donated currently to the Victim Funds for the World Trade Center disaster. WT-Lord and the IceRage IGMs can not be updated due to lost source code. For full details, read LordNews Issue #7 and LordNews Issue #8. 02/07/02: Joe has started rewriting the WT-Lord program with the assistance of Janet Terry, who provided him with the 50% WT-Lord source code she had purchased years ago. Full details will be listed in mid-February inside LordNews Issue #11. 01/15/04: Marcelletti vanished in 2003 and no one knows where he is now. Has no valid email address. Icerage site was taken off-line last year by Shannon Talley. Due to loss of WT-Lord code, and author's disappearance, WT-Lord registrations are no longer available and all IceRage programs are fully unsupported now.

Notes: Observations on the future of Lord, based on my lengthy emails with Michael. ... Great guy who doesn't mind reading my mail -- he's even named an entire email folder/mailbox for me. Michael is working on a Windows 95/98/NT version of Lord, as well as one for OS/2. And he plans eventually to do a Linux/Unix version. Eventually, an Internet-based version of Lord is a possibility. Those wishing to play Lord on the Internet can visit http://lord.doa.org, which is accessed by Telnet. Michael is developing updates of Joseph Masters' old LORD IGMs and utilities.
12/11/01 Notes: An Y2K update of LordNet was released in February 2000. LORD v4.05 was released in March 2000. Elysium Software released updates of NPCLord and LordCops in 2000. NPCLord does not work reliably and has RTE 200 problems. No other LORD programming has been done since then by Elysium authors, other than by Mike Hodgson and Michael Preslar, that I know of. LORD v4.06, LORD II v1.02, and Planets TEOS v2.02 were released in February 2001. The Lord2 and TEOS programs are cosmetic updates. Last year, there was a petition circulated among LORD fans that was sent to Gameport. It convinced them to authorize Preslar to do 32-bit versions of LORD. So during 2001, he has been working on Lord/32 (Windows), Lord/2 (OS/2), and Lord/x (Linux). Another version of Lord, for the Internet, called WebLord is also being produced. For full details, see the entries for Preslar in LordNews Issue #6 through LordNews Issue #9. Due to the closure of Joel Gathercole's Lord II:CNW site in August 2001, most CNW-related links have been removed from this issue.
Bobby Queen --- Former Host of Official Lord II IGM Archive Site, and Kiteria's Korner
03/31/01 Update: Bobby is currently classified, for the past year, as semi-inactive. At times he has been fully inactive. Due to his health problems, or other reasons, his web-site has rarely been updated in the last year. For details, see LordNews Issue #6, and the previous LordNews issue web-pages. 12/11/01: All LORD programs distribution are now handled officially by me through my Camelot LordNews FDN on Fidonet, and through postings to the Lord Legacy FTP site. 05/08/2002 Update: The Kiteria's Korner! site was closed down on Bobby's server in early April 2002. It was relocated to my new location on the Lord Legacy web-server on April 11, 2002. The Official Lord II IGM Archive Site was turned over to Max Larivee in late May 2002. It was put back online at: http://www.fidotel.com/public/l2archive/. 12/02/02: Kiteria site is off-line currently. 03/10/03: Kiteria's Korner is now located at: http://www.fidotel.com/public/kiteria/. The L2Archive site is fully inactive currently.

Mike Snyder -- Prowler Productions Homepage -- Distant Places Page
Here's how it works. The BBS SysOp installed the "Distant Places" IGM itself. People playing T-LORD will go to the "Other Places" option inside the game, and from there they'll be able to access all traditional IGM's (The Gem Shop, Fairy Fountain, and Distant Places). The player picks Distant Places. They're now brought into our IGM, which serves as a doorway to all the LunScript IGM's people have created. Play "Quest for the Golden Condor" or "Evansmite the Oracle" or several others already in existence. The LunScript IGM's currently in existence are free! To download Distant Places for your BBS, LunScript IGM's available for it, or the free LunScript IGM Developer's Kit, go to http://www.prowler-pro.com/majorbbs/d-places.html and get started! The demo version of Distant Places itself will allow a 3-turn-per-day limit. Registration is just $40.00 and will allow this turn limit to be increased a lot higher. Contact us before placing an order. If you'd like to play LunScript IGM's at home (without the need for a BBS) you can download the free IGM kit and the available scripted IGM's. They're fun even just by themselves! If you create a LunScript IGM you'd like us to post for download at our web site, make sure you send us a complete copy (in ZIP format) and let us know what it's about. If you are interested in writing a LunScript parser (the equivalent of Distant Places) for the other LORD/WT-LORD BBS versions, please contact me for permission. I'd love to see IGM's created for the other LORD's that would run all the same LunScript IGM's across the board. That would rock! Just contact me so I know what's going on. :)
To check out some of Prowler Productions' most recent projects, visit our home page at http://www.prowler-pro.com/. We currently have a full-scale web-based multiplayer RPG (Lunatix Online) which can be played at http://www.lunatix-online.com (home page is at http://www.prowler-pro.com/logic/). This is a slick, updated, graphical version of the popular BBS game where you play the role of a mental patient in an insane asylum (originally a parody of LORD, but now a successful game in its own right). A stand-alone Lunatix adventure game is even available. Created in September 1999, "Lunatix: The Insanity Circle" is available for direct download at http://www.prowler-pro.com/n-e-ware/gamezips/luntic11.zip. In L:TIC, you get to find out what it's like to be Dr. Hammer instead of a patient. Those interested in the original BBS Lunatix will be pleased to know that the entire Lunatix package (complete with a LunScript parser and Player Editor) is now just $10! A version is also available for Worldgroup/MajorBBS.
We're currently working on a new multiplayer web RPG called StarLock, and a beta should be coming in several months. Check it out! We also have a couple CGI scripts available for download which can help provide interactive content for your web site (a chat room script and a poll script). Those are available at http://www.prowler-pro.com/scripts.html. With all that we're doing, we're sometimes asked if we plan to create, support, and continue with our LORD products. This is pretty easy to answer. Although we aren't writing LORD IGM's *ourselves* at this time, we still support and sell registrations for Distant Places. We're not going anywhere. We encourage anybody who wants to help keep LORD alive to check out Distant Places and its simple LunScript kit. Write a LunScript IGM. Ask us about porting Distant Places to the other LORD versions. Thanks!
Notes: Mike is the only person who is active in working with the Worldgroup version of Tournament Lord. His WG T-LORD IGMs are Distant Places, and these IGM Scripts: The Cemetary, The Dragon's Dungeon, Evansmite the Oracle, Insane Blackjack, Quest for the Golden Condor, The Stables, and The Temple of Zolain. 12/11/01 Notes: No other Worldgroup T-Lord sites currently exist. All other WG T-Lord programs are considered unsupported as well. Mike's WG T-LORD IGMs page has been fully inactive since before November 2000. Work on his StarLock program was still in progress, as of April 2001. His Lunatix pages have been fully inactive since 1998. Mike reported in July 2001 that he has no plans to do further WG T-Lord programming. And in Fall 2001 Michael Preslar received permission to work on WG T-Lord. It is slowly being worked on.

Tracks right now, I just havn't posted it yet.
NOTE: In December 1999, John was one of the three authors who
produced Wildcat Tournament Lord programming. The others were Joseph
Watson and Janet Terry. Unfortunately, we lost both John and Janet soon
afterwards. His email and web-site addresses both closed down. His
WT-LORD IGM was abandoned.
