Dragons of Flame: Rekindled
by Mark Barazzuol · Role-playing
A browser rewrite of SSI's 1989 Dragonlance game with side-view combat, dungeons and a mini-lair for every secret.
Dragons of Flame is a fan rewrite of the 1989 DOS game by SSI and U.S. Gold, running in the browser. The party of the Heroes of the Lance races across the overland map to Sla-Mori and Pax Tharkas, fighting side-view battles, opening secret doors and rescuing Laurana and the captive women and children of Qualinesti.
The rules (monsters, items, encounters, points of interest) live in editable data files. The engine reads the artwork, maps and sound tables from the original game's files, so it needs a copy of the original game and nothing in it is redrawn.
On top of the faithful game there is an optional set of updated controls and additions that come from the Dragons of Flame module (DL2): overland places of interest and lairs, towns that heal the party, Elistan, draconian death effects, Wyrmslayer, a full-screen dungeon map, new spell and weapon sounds made by the game itself, and a debug menu. The original controls remain available.
It is a hobby project: the combat view and some monster rules are still estimates of the original's, and a few menus are not yet decoded.
In the spirit of Gold Box (AD&D) (1988).
