Yes please.

BUT(needed one more letter) = Giant troll sits on Cedric ?

I suggested another variation on this earlier, but I guess nobody liked it

There was a reality-tv (bleurgh!) gameshow in which contestants (in two teams) entered a virtual world and competed against each other. The world would also be accessible to the public similar to WoW. Obviously alot of what the teams encountered would be scripted/driven by the program, but there would be some public/player interaction too.

Would be cool to get to sell your apothecary items to a passing dungeoneer

I guess plain clothes would be fun if Tregard and the other people in the dungeon made appropriate amusing sarcastic remarks about the "unusual" clothing. Didn't characters do that in the original series from time to time?

I guess with me the original KM wasn't quite like just watching someone playing a game because you knew the poor sap with the big helmet who couldn't see where he/she was going was actually down there trying to sidestep across, or jump blindly across, what to us looked like a yawning chasm. I think that was the difference. Personally I think the whole "being blind" thing would probably be more accepted than people think.

With a "real" dungeoneer versus a lovely rendered dungeon, I'm not sure. Depends how good the merging process is - although that Sky Captain film was done fairly cheaply comparatively right - and that came out ok?

I guess the real question I am thinking about is: Dungeoneer clothes - appropriate period costume for the dugeoneer or whatever clothes they came in??

I remember the episode of KM that made me really think "Wow" in terms of originality and "coolness" was one where the Dungeoneer is next to a well, and he sees Tregard beckoning him to jump into the well - but back in the advisor's room Tregard's sitting there having a fit. Turns out to be a witch attempting to get the Dungeoneer to jump into her disguised cauldron.

Anyone tell me which series/episode??

Hi - I already posted before I noticed there was a welcome newbies section - so Hello!

I'm 28 and living in NY - moved here from England in '98 so have many memories of Knightmare - long before Lord of the Rings was cool!

Nice site

Having looked through the new VR video here's my tuppence on the new idea:

A lot of the new computer generated stuff is great. New camera angles and the ability to make the dungeon surroundings feel bigger more epic works well.

Here are the things I don't think work quite as well BUT please if the VR people are reading, take this as suggestions rather than complaints as I have no idea how the VR will finally be presented and how much more work you are doing on the VR system:

People will always be better than VR - there's just something about the way people interact with each other (especially the dungeoneer and the dungeon actors) and I think that's what made KM special. The computer graphics just made it possible.

Please use the wonderful engine you have created to make better dungeons and wonderful scenery - that is where I believe the computer progress should be evident and also in the improvments in the Chroma-key process.

However, if you avatar the human parts out of KM. You have an audience watching kids play KM the computer game. Have you ever watched over someone's shoulder while they played a RP game on the computer? It's not that exciting.

Is it possible to have the VR inside the helmet so that the dungeoneer can see the dungeon from his perspective ? I'm sure you could hide antennae in a helmet that big
