hi ed!

great, another one returnig ;-)

if u do a search for "mage knight demo" you get 2 results, one for a rebellion and one for a 2.0 zero demo kit.

i on my own do not have any knowledge of ul-demo kits (but would have made sense for one). what i do remember too are other than above seen rebellion demo/warlord kits with posters, rulez, about 8 figs (troll ari for sure) ... there were two different one i think.

i do have some pics of them, allow for some time to find them and then i will post a link here to an archive file on my hp.

faster than i thought *g. here it is:

Warlord Set Rebellion

I am sure these pics are out of a former ebay auction.

Update here:

Stephen D. Sullivan's stories found:

The "Jolum the Fish"-trilogy:
RIVER OF DEATH
RIVER OF FLAMES
RIVER OF BLOOD

Denkai & Chroma:
The Fall



Still missing:

Scenarios:



Chris Hartford stories written to accompany the Rebellion Army Sets

Great work! Where'd you find those?

its a little bit tricky.

the waybackmachine changed their ... hmmm ... accessibility a few month ago (asp, aspx is something -MS- like php and i think not so easy to re-build). so (for me) it seems to be a little easier so links on a stored homepage will work. although its a slow thing overall and there's the need to be very patient.

so here's the trick:

if u load a mk.com page from the waybackmachine u see the "news" entries at that time.

click a link to a scrying chamber entry and this will read like this:

http://web.archive.org/web/200404092....asp?cid=38889

now theres stephens blog entries, which do show the former right "cid" numbers. change the number in your browser entryline to that and u get the article - if stored.

u can try by varying the "cid" to see - in a very random way i think - other entries. if the waybackmachine fails, be aware that the main domain changes and you have to reset the link for further tries.

maybe thats a way to grab out some old stuff we do not have listed herein.

i downloaded stephens stories a few weeks ago that way but didn't have the time to share it till now.

and thnx fram for keeping the record ....

btw i wrote an email to stephen asking him to maybe rebuild the links on his hp

Impressive digging!

Man, someday we ought to get all this stuff up on a website or something. Sadly, I just don't have the wherewithal for that right now, but it would be nice.

We could get a url like classicmageknight dot com or whatever, have all the files on nice organized pages, even have a proper player locator (the current thread is okay, but is still pretty awkward).

The main reason though is that (hopefully) the site would come up on google searches - because this one doesn't at all. Unless you remember the old MK Realms, you'll never find this site.

I don't know what WK would make of it though. Maybe they'd want it taken down. I mean, that's silly because old MK poses no threat to them whatsoever (in fact, it has a very very small chance of helping them) and we wouldn't be profiting in anyway. But you never know these days.

Fram u are right, this would be a great gift from WK re-publishing their MK page with all the ressources (+fig gallery, interactive map, the Chamber) for all of us.


some further updates:


by diving the waybackmachine I was able to dig out 3+1 one more of the missing english scenarios:

2004, July
Throne Key
Gate Of Shadows

2004, September
Faction War: The Sorcerer's Citadel

2004, October
Magestone Isle


The Faction War: The Sorcerer's Citadel was missing on my scenario collection, so this is the +1.

Still missing the scenarios from Sep 2004, couldn't dig them out of the WBM so far.

So as a summary, we now are only missing 2 more scenarios in english!

2004, September
Honor and Death
Graveyard of the Mountaintrolls


My scenario page has been updated, u'll find the new ones there::

strat's scenario page year 2004




The story below of a Paladin fighting a Gate Lord I so far assumed to be fan fiction, but I did some research telling me the author Chris(toffer) Trossen is a professional writer and game designer, so I think he could have been one of the few free writers WK invited to add some fiction for the MK universe. Here's the story:


Honor of the Paladin




Who isn't remembering DemoMonkey and his confessions of a playtester? We still miss these great articles in our overview as I see, so I compiled them to pdf too:

The Complete Confessions Of A Rebellion Playtester.pdf

Confessions of an Unlimited Playtester

have fun!

did anyone ever save this video?:

haha, I like that, diving through my disc...

here's a 1 page short story that imho was published with the release of the Dwarven Steam Behemoth:

Three Levers

THAT would be GREAT Typhon ;-)

Great finds, Sam! Thanks!

I definitely remember that Paladin and Gate Lord story being on the WK site at some point. I never read fan fiction, and I clearly remember reading that story.

At some point, I was saving text files of some of the older fiction. I'm not sure if any of it is left (I've been through a few computers since then), but I'll see if I can find anything.

SamLongblade - I found a bunch of stories and such in the WaybackArchive and I sent them to the e-mail that you have in your sig. I hope they get to you so you can share them with the community.

boronx great, dig it out hehe ... ;-)

john, thnx very much for the offer, but theres something wrong with the files, sent u an email....
