Not them in particular, but it won't work.

There are no boxes or manuals left. Or original silk-screened CDs. I think Meredith's timetable is about right. I admit I haven't checked lately, but Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:30:10 GMT Meredith Dixon http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3199 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3199 ... I'm not David, of course, but I can answer that. About, hm, five years or so ago, I bought a replacement copy of KoDP, and David told me that I'd Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:25:49 GMT Douglas Seay http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3198 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3198 ... Just out of curiosity, do you still have a closet full of KoDP boxes, or is it starting to get scarce? How quickly is your supply dwindling?

Its a couple of years since this message was posted, and you may not have really been serious even then, but have you considered using something like Tue, 23 Jun 2009 07:49:07 GMT waferthinninja http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3195 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3195 ... One final comment then I promise I'll leave you in peace! This list has had as many messages in the week or so since I raised the open source suggestion Tue, 23 Jun 2009 07:32:45 GMT waferthinninja http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3194 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3194 ... Thanks for taking the time to listen. I can only reiterate the arguments that have already been put forward. Opening the source *might* extend the life of Tue, 23 Jun 2009 04:10:47 GMT David Dunham http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3193 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3193 "No, sorry, not going to happen" -- at least not without a compelling argument for how it would let more people play the game.

Is there a way to play the game so that the prophecy doesnt take effect at all?

Sounds like relentless Godlearnerism to me, but then again I've never really had a problem with that myself (barring Cosmic Incidents). :) -- John Machin Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:47:23 GMT outis02 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3190 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3190 ... Ditto for me. Not everybody has the same kind of curiosity. There are those who enjoy a good magic show, but also many who'd be even more thrilled to see Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:13:07 GMT waferthinninja http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3189 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/KingOfDragonPass/message/3189 ...
