I have the Ravenloft- > game, and I was wondering how this new game compares to Ravenloft. Menzo is definitely better than Ravenloft (A game which I thought was HIGHLY over-rated). Combat, graphics, and all that jazz is all improved. If you are an avid reader of R.A Salvatore's novels, however, I would recommend you stay away from this one. It is a little hokey and most definitely does not capture the true "Coolness" of his books (one of the main reasons I purchased the thing). > BTW: I have a self-running demo of Menzo which I got with the CD- > version of DarkSun II, and it looked like one of the player- > characters was a centaur. Can you choose to have your starting > characters a centaur, or do you have to make an NPC join you? > Reply either by Email or buy answering this message. :) You can only make the standard AD&D races when you make your characters. The centaur is an NPC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg MacMartin "The imagination is boundless" -Anon Email address: gmac...@chat.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------------
