That seems to be newer than yours so perhaps a bug introduced in a re-release? (Weirdly, there is a newer version than mine also. I wonder why the Lost Treasures set didn't include that one...)Joe Pranevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997014242774219758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-87303634027104112922017-10-06T12:08:27.868+11:002017-10-06T12:08:27.868+11:00I'm guessing at 47.I'm guessing at 47.

I am with you ...I corrected the word for you, Joe.<br /><br />I am with you in finding Meretzky one of the most talented of the implementors (there's one other that might be even slightly better, but you haven't met him yet). It's a pity that Meretzky became pretty typecasted as a comedy game writer and didn't get enough chances for more serious works.Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-62653959683916055142017-10-06T01:38:57.405+11:002017-10-06T01:38:57.405+11:00Yes, I knew immediately upon reading your entry th...Yes, I knew immediately upon reading your entry that this was another Enchanter/"reach into hole" moment. Although I'm a bit befuddled by it. In my copy of Sorcerer, both "unlock journal" and "open journal" work fine. I have Release 4 / Serial number 840131. Do you have an earlier released version?Voltglosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893726442063421240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-64257006952659636592017-10-06T01:23:04.040+11:002017-10-06T01:23:04.040+11:00Unless I get stuck, I try to play a bit ahead of w...Unless I get stuck, I try to play a bit ahead of where I'm writing-- if only because it takes me longer to write than to play. I have no idea how bloggers like the CRPGAddict manage to write halfway readable prose without multiple drafts, but I certainly can't. (But in this case, you caught me because I ran out of time to do the final cleanup that I usually do before posting. I'll try to correct the word later.)<br /><br />I made it out of the guildhall! The trick, which I will discuss in the next post (that I haven't even started yet...) is a parser glitch. I was trying to "unlock" the journal with the key which the game says you cannot do, but if you just "open" it with the key it works. It's stupid but that got me through.
