What game system is this based off?

The game system is very loosely based off of the D20 system. When the world builder is completed, you'll be able to create monsters with stats directly from that system.

This is pretty cool! I've just rolled myself a fighter and I'm exploring the city. I'm a bit lost 
but that's ok. I can see drawing a map is going to be necessary, the city quite big by the looks of things and it is difficult to navigate by text alone.

That's helpful! I've now found those locations (except the tavern, which doesn't seem to be there? Travelling south twice from the apothecary isn't an option…) and I'm exploring my first dungeon. I still haven't found a weapon but I seem to be quite effective at punching things in the face.

As for weapons, the blacksmith usually has something cheap to start you out with.

Good stuff! I'm sitting around in hotel rooms again next week, so I'm going to download it onto my laptop and give it a proper go. I didn't last too long in the Crypt last time!
How long would you say it is, roughly?

Hey @Caddy
Having fun with Shadows of Kalendale today! A few questions:
- I've found a chest but can't open it. I've tried "open", "search", "examine", "unlock". What command am I missing?
- same with searching bodies. The creatures I've killed seem to have stuff on them - when I search or examine them it says that they might have something valuable on them - but I don't seem to be able to find he correct command to search the bodies properly.
- is there a way of seeing item statistics? I currently have two weapons, but I can't see the difference between them. Examining them gives me a description but no stats.
- I think there is a missing direction link in the crypt dungeon. In the very first area you have the option of going "up" or "west." But the area to the east also connects to it. Either there should be an option to go east from the first area, or the area that links to it from the east should have the "west" option removed.
A bit more detail on my adventure here - in spoilers, as the fun in this game is the exploration and others might want to find stuff for themselves…

Hey @Pongo , glad you're enjoying your adventures in the land of Kalendale!
Some (not all) of your answers can be found in the included Player Guide document, but here's the TLDR:
You can also type "stats" (NOTE: different than "status") which will give you your permanent stats and experience.
On a side note, if you're feeling beaten and bruised, you might want to try having a "rest" (or two, or three rests). Until you have enough to buy some healing potions of course.
And lastly, thank you for your Gameplay adventure recap. That was an entertaining read

The creatures I've killed seem to have stuff on them - when I search or examine them it says that they might have something valuable on them - but I don't seem to be able to find he correct command to search the bodies properly.The answer to this lies in the very last screenshot, a few replies above us.
Spoiler – Getting loot from dead monsters
- I've found a chest but can't open it. I've tried "open", "search", "examine", "unlock". What command am I missing?Treat the chest as if it were a dead body
Spoiler – dealing with treasure chests
- is there a way of seeing item statistics? I currently have two weapons, but I can't see the difference between them. Examining them gives me a description but no stats.Yes, but not directly. One you've equipped your weapon and/or armor ("equip rusty shortsword") you can type "status" which will give you a readout of your stats with all your currently equipped items. When you "remove rusty shortsword" and look at your "status" again, you'll see the difference in not wearing/using it.
You can also type "stats" (NOTE: different than "status") which will give you your permanent stats and experience.
- I think there is a missing direction link in the crypt dungeon. In the very first area you have the option of going "up" or "west." But the area to the east also connects to it. Either there should be an option to go east from the first area, or the area that links to it from the east should have the "west" option removed.You are absolutely correct! I will be fixing this in the next build. Thanks for finding it!
On a side note, if you're feeling beaten and bruised, you might want to try having a "rest" (or two, or three rests). Until you have enough to buy some healing potions of course.

great, thanks for the tips! I thought I'd tried that command on the chest without success - I'll have another go a bit later. I must have got the wording wrong somehow.
"Rest" - durr - can't believe I didn't think of that. Been too long since I played one of these.
The adventures of Rastan the Barbarian will continue…

yeah I must have been doing something dumb earlier. Searching corpses and chests works fine! Resting makes it a lot easier as well. Now descending to a new level of the dungeon….

Played loads more today, had a lot of fun mapping out the areas and finding the chests and boss monsters to kill. Rastan the Barbarian is now a kick-ass level 3 and armed to the teeth… he's not quite death incarnate, but the bandits aren't such a problem anymore!
I think I've covered all the content, but not sure if I'm missing anything?:
If that's it for now, I had a blast and I'll keep hold of my maps for when you next update it!

Yes, as time goes by, and I get some more free time, i'll be adding more areas inside the city, outside the city, and possibly even other distant cities. Quests and bosses and loots too! I spent this morning combing over my maps and comparing them with the mistakes you found. Finally found the errors and patched them up with duct tape. Thanks for finding those! Credit to you in the release log. So now v0.106 has been released!
