Well thanks man, I really do appreciate you and your interest in it. When I get around to finishing them, I may take you up on your offer. The errors are never far behind me. haha

Also, when I do get around to it, all of the existing guides will need maintenance as well, so I'll have to update those too. Many of the images have since broken and I think Steam changed a few things that upset certain stuff. On top of that, I think not long after the last one I put out, Steam made some changes and messed with the guides a bit. Oh well. One day things will happen!

But anyway, thanks again. It is certainly encouraging.

Yeah, I understand that. Sad to not see them, but I feel you.

You may already know that, but on the off-chance that you don't - there is a whole Discord server made by my Steam-friend Siopilos that keeps Gauntlet alive. They have tourneys, competitions, etc. - it even got endorsement and got officialised by the Arrowhead (they're hanging out there as well :)).

Here's a permanent link: https://discord.gg/q337MFzyUe

Just saying that there may be more people interested in it than the prospective couple guys you'd personally play with. That being said, again, I (sadly) respect your decision to not finish the guides yet. If you wanted a grunt help (proofreading, spelling check), I would love to help (given my own limited gaming time and real life interfering ;)). Your guides are such beauties while also being so informative and fun to read that it would be awesome to be able to touch that :P.

It's mostly a matter of interest. I did a fair amount of work on both the Merlin and Questor guides, but it's been years since I've touched either of them. My main motivation for making the series was specifically to help people I would play often with over hundreds or even thousands of hours.

It has been a long time since I've met someone who would benefit from the guides proportionately to the effort it takes to make them. People usually only play for a couple of hours at most or otherwise just don't have the desire to chase the game's skill ceiling like that.

If I found someone who wanted to play this game regularly and long term, and they were interested in what I could share, I would. I still intended to finish them one day for my own sense of completion, but I have little reason to make them a higher priority in my free time.

I do appreciate the offer and kinds words, though; thank you.

This made me realise that since I moved on from Gauntlet (it was fun while it lasted!) I'm never going to become such a great player in it. I used to be on the top of my game before the Slayer edition came along (wizard all the way) and did some of the impossible things shown in the video, but those days are long gone for me, now.

Which brings me back to the most important question - how is that Wizard guide coming along? :P Do you need any help with it?

Thanks, guys. Yeah, it's great game. It definitely has its flaws, but it remains one of my favorite games of all time for good reason.

i also play because of that rush you get from the bullet hell 2 stick gamepad action.... especially i like to play elf because of this gameplay, or valkery with the throwing spear move set (the most ranged one), but also i like this game much because of the online multiplayer, its a lot of fun and even making new friends
