look what these guys had to say about playing with no map at all! :shock:

I may just give the impossible a try. :lol:

Going for oldschool - no automaps.

To be honest, I probably won't even draw out the maps for the most part, unless there is a particularly tricky area - that's pretty much how much I did it in the past for these sorts of games :D

It is too bad you did not discover the true secret of the firestaff. Now that I have it I have no further need for you.

Using my iPad also. Set up Grimrock grid paper as background image in a vector drawing program, so I can move & re-size on the fly. So much better than those days in 1987 with Dungeon Master.

So how are you guys doing with your mapping? I've managed the first 3 levels without mapping of any kind, but it does get a little confusing from time to time! :D

That's exactly what I'm doing! Just as I did in DM - I had paper but I used it for drawing mummies and screamers on instead of mapping :)

Hmm I've mapped everything from all of the bards tales onwards - I think I've done my penance for my sins

I think I'm on level 3 (sloooooow) and have yet to start mapping. Probably won't bother until I actually get lost.
