Traveller Traders

[Songbird]

Don't know if folk have heard of Warpspawn Games (http://www.angelfire.com/games2/warpspawn/) or not, but they are a collective of card and board game enthusiasts and creators; all free for personal use and such. Several games found on the site have be adapted to the free card-game engine known as Toth (http://digilander.libero.it/zak965/thoth/).

The game file is graciously hosted at The Traveller Freeport (http://www.travellerfreeport.com/) and should be up soon. You must have the Toth game engine installed to play this. The game ruleset is "ruleset.pdf" found in the game file. At least have a look at the first 2 pages so the game screen make sense. The rules can be called-up during gameplay by pressing "F2".

Teaser: Game Splash Screen:

Take note, as mentioned at the end of the ruleset PDF, there are 2 expansions to this game. I'm looking at adding these expansions during 2010!

Enjoy

PS: don't forget to have a look around the WarpSpawn game site, there are a lot of free Gems there- and look for other Toth conversions too!

I tried to run the Thoth engine on my system (Win7) and it asked for comdlg32.ocx
I downloaded it, but it failed to register.

Any idea how to work around this?

I have tried various compability settings without help.

I'll try to run it on my old laptop later to check if it will run there.

I don't have Win7, but this is what I found:

log on as admin in a command shell
run regsvr32 to actually register it

Gone are the days when you can just add stuff to the system. But other than that, I can't help. Just remember - search engines are your friend!
