Howling Mounds Campaign : 1) When You Arrive You Watch a Cutscene Howling Mounds campaign : 1) When you arrive you watch a cutscene. Korshar gives the order to a skeleton general to call the 5 commanders to defend the fortress. Your mission begins then. 3 of the commanders have a magic fountain of monsters near them. You need an army to beat them. You can handle alone the 2 commanders north and the second north west. In the same time, you have begun a dwarf camp. 2) The major problem of this map is the iron. There are 3 iron sources on this map. One of them is north of your dwarf camp. You don't have much time to waste. Once you have 15 or 20 warriors destroy the second camp north of you. It has a second dwarf monument. Normally the dwarf units are really strong. You can advance and destroy another camp and another magic fountain north of this camp. Now you have free the 2 other iron sources. 3) Go west and kill a single leech. You find the cadaver of Cassius. The only problem is that you can't leave the map to show it to Flink now. You obtain a fourth soulstone (the first from the angstling, the second from the bonelurker, the third from the nightblade and the fourth is from the crypt stalker). Flink has moved of the fortress of Greydusk Vale. You must find him elsewhere (in fact in Greyfell). Destroy the last camp to the west. Beat first Nevermore and his horde and then the fountain. Don't kill the last commander now. He won't move anyway. 4) You have noticed a magic fountain near the gate of the fortress. Save your game and go there to destroy it. Normally the gate won't open, if it's the case, simply reload your file and beat the last commander. 5) With this, you activate the next event. A gigantic horde will spread all over the land in your direction. I suggest you attack first and stop the wave. Build a new army now. The time is a problem as the fortress has a lot of fountains to destroy but you can't build endlessly an army as the iron is very limited. 6) During a first phase you must destroy the magic fountain in front of the fortress if you haven't done it previously and then the 2 inside the fortress. Build again a new army (30 soldiers) and advance to the next fountain. Then there is another one in the first part of the way to the portal. I encountered the problem of iron here and there are 3 fountains before the portal to the inside of the fortress. So i used only 10 soldiers per wave and 20 workers to fight the ennemy. Be sure to destroy the building to close the fountain and especially the one in front of the portal. It produced skeleton generals hard to kill. Kill also the leech named The Unforgiven, you obtain the soulstone of the unforgiven and the tears of a soulless creature. After lots of try, you access the portal. 7) It's time to summon your 5 most powerful heroes. Inside the fortress, the game will look like Gauntlet Legends for the decor. The way is linear and you must kill the monsters one after the other. Once you feel ready attack Korshar to obtain the second part of the mask. Now you are ready for Whisper city and Hokan. Pass the portal. Whisper campaign : 1) When you arrive you watch a cutscene of a warrior. Find your way to him and he asks you find his griffon and his weapon and armour. This map is hard to begin but then will be easy. 2) When you arrive to the next part of the map, you find a dwarf monument, an elf monument and a bindstone. Activate the bindstone. Now build simultaneously the dwarf and elf camps, with an armory, a forge and the resource buildings. You won't have much time before the leeches see your camp. They will immediately send a huge wave to destroy it. The food comes easily and you can upgrade to 20 soldiers quickly on this map. Take the basic soldiers and don't fight the coming horde. Avoid it by using an alternate way. 3) While the horde will destroy your camp, use your weak army to destroy the 3 magic fountains on the southwest part of the map. Of course your army will be a decoy while your avatar shoot the graves. All in all, you will finish this alone and kill some leeches. Now it's time to help your camp. Until you go back, summon workers to lure the leeches. It will split into several groups to destroy each building. Use this fact to fight small groups. Don't forget that the leeches will probably switch off the bindstone, so don't die. 4) Once you've the saved the camp, begin to rebuild it. With only your heroes you can defend it from the northeast and from the east. The ennemies come one after the other. Once you feel ready take 20 soldiers with you. Beat the undead camp to the east, it has a moonsilver mine you really need to succeed on this map. Once you obtain it (it won't be easy) you have just to push to the max each camp to obtain the 2 titans and at least 60 soldiers (i pushed to 80). 5) Your priority is to beat the camp to the far east, the deads come from the north east but their camp has many magic fountains. Once this camp is taken, you find 3 leeches who guard a grave. This is Lea's one. Kill the avengers and then the ghost of Lea. Take the letter and the jewel. 6) This part of the map is cleared. Now go west, you find another huge magic fountain, destroy it. You really need 70 soldiers, careful. By exploring this part of the map, you find a hero camp and a phantom spider. Kill it and you obtain the first light silk. You are now stucked. 7) Once you have a new army (or maybe as for mine, you still have your 60 soldiers) go to the northeast part of the map. You find a mosaic. Kill the guardian and input the first part Jon gave to you in Greydusk Vale. A new part of the map with a magic fountain and a horde appear. Beat it. After this, a guardian of the 2nd fragment appear on the map. Beat it and input the second fragment (it opens a part of the way to Ismail from the cutscene). Then beat the third guardian and input the third fragment. You must fight "a cruel one". Once dead, go near the hero monument and you discover a new way to the griffon of the warrior. Your avatar must talk to the griffon to free him. 8) Near the griffon is a small city you can reach to kill more undeads. You find in all the chests the weapon and armour for the warrior. Now beat the last guardian (very very difficult alone, easy with a horde). Input the last fragment. The way to Ismail is opened and again you must fight a powerful horde. 9) Talk to the warrior, let him go alone to Ismail and he will kill him and his leeches. Now you can travel alone to the grave of Hokan. Talk to the ghost to learn the secret of the phoenix stone and where to begin to search for it and then give him the mask of Belial. You can advance to the portal to Godwall and take the last dwarf units in the chest. Sidequests to solve now : 1) Go to Greyfell. Talk to Sartarius. Now find Flink in the town (near Castagir). Show the fragment and he says that Fayt has another one. You offer to kill him but it will be very hard. You need to go to Leafshade by using the portal in Eloni (i suppose the bandits switch off the second bindstone in leafshade). You access to the hero and human monuments. Kill some bandits on the way and then summon the heroes. They will help you to free the way to the second aria source. Build your town and an army that goes up to 40 soldiers, don't forget the griffonrider. Now advance carefully to the bandit camp and destroy the waves one after the other. Attack again and again until you reach the boss Fayt. You have just enough resource to do this (the bandits are level 16/17 and 20 (Fayt) while your soldiers are level 9 (with the rune found in Whisper). You finally obtain the second part of the key. Give it to Flink and he will give a reward : the ring of the rouges. 2) In Greyfell talk to Adhira. She asks you to find 3 special bloods (demon, dragon and giant spider) to concoct a potion for a hero (her brother). He will become stronger if he drinks it. 3) Still in Greyfell talk to the dwarf Hinrik. Give him the Dwarf Brandy and he gives you the bronze statuette of Cronvig. Give it to Cronvig to complete this sidequest. 4) Talk to Orthanc to obtain a soulweapon of your choice. 5) Last, go to Liannon and show the jewel and the letter to Shan Muir. She directs you to Tyrgar the fisherman. He says that only the dark elf, Craig, can help you to find Amra.

  • The Resurrection of Permadeath: an Analysis of the Sustainability of Permadeath Use in Video Games
    The Resurrection of Permadeath: An analysis of the sustainability of Permadeath use in Video Games. Hugh Ruddy A research paper submitted to the University of Dublin, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Interactive Digital Media 2014 Declaration I declare that the work described in this research paper is, except where otherwise stated, entirely my own work and has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university. Signed: ___________________ Hugh Ruddy 28th February 2014 Permission to lend and/or copy I agree that Trinity College Library may lend or copy this research Paper upon request. Signed: ___________________ Hugh Ruddy 28th February 2014 Abstract The purpose of this research paper is to study the the past, present and future use of Permadeath in video games. The emergence of Permadeath games in recent months has exposed the mainstream gaming population to the concept of the permanent death of the game avatar, a notion that has been vehemently avoided by game developers in the past. The paper discusses the many incarnations of Permadeath that have been implemented since the dawn of video games, and uses examples to illustrate how gamers are crying out for games to challenge them in a unique way. The aims of this are to highlight the potential that Permadeath has in the gaming world to become a genre by itself, as well as to give insights into the ways in which gamers play Permadeath games at the present. To carry out this research, the paper examines the motivation players have to play games from a theoretical standpoint, and investigates how the possibilty of failure in video games should not be something gamers stay away from.

  • Gathering of Card Players and Subcultural Expression
    THE MAGIC OF COMMUNITY: GATHERING OF CARD PLAYERS AND SUBCULTURAL EXPRESSION Travis J. Limbert A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Dr. Marilyn Motz, Advisor Dr. Esther Clinton © 2012 Travis Limbert All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Advisor When Magic: the Gathering was released in 1993, it was the first trading card game. It paved the way for the trading card game subculture and market that exists today. This thesis explores the implications of this subculture and the ways it can be thought of as an urban leisure subculture. This thesis also discusses Magic’s unique community, which has been instrumental in the game’s success over the last two decades. Magic’s community is created symbiotically, through official support by Wizards of the Coast, and the parent company Hasbro, as well as the usage and interaction by the fans and players. It is this interaction that creates a unique community for Magic, which leads to the game’s global popularity, including its tremendous growth since 2010. This thesis looks at trade publications, articles written about Magic, player responses collected through online surveys, and other works to create an extensive work on Magic and its community. This thesis focuses on how the community is important to the consumption of copyrighted cultural texts and how this creates of meaning in players’ lives. iv To my parents, James and Jona, who always encouraged me. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr.

Signed by the final examining committee: Chair Darren Wershler External Examiner Peter Rist Examiner Marc Steinberg Supervisor Approved by Haidee Wasson Graduate Program Director Catherine Wild Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts Date ___________________________________ iii ABSTRACT Should I Skip This?: Cutscenes, Agency and Innovation Ben Browning The cutscene is a frequently overlooked and understudied device in video game scholarship, despite its prominence in a vast number of games. Most gaming literature and criticism concludes that cutscenes are predetermined narrative devices and nothing more. Interrogating this general critical dismissal of the cutscene, this thesis argues that it is a significant device that can be used to re-examine a number of important topics and debates in video game studies. Through an analysis of cutscenes deriving from the Metal Gear Solid (Konami, 1998) and Resident Evil (Capcom, 1996) franchises, I demonstrate the cutscene’s importance within (1) studies of video game agency and (2) video game promotion.

  • Mediatization of a Card Game: Magic: the Gathering, Esports, and Streaming Abstract
    This is the accepted manuscript of the article, which has been published in Media, Culture and Society. 2019. https://doi.org/10.1177/0163443719876536 Jan Švelch Mediatization of a Card Game: Magic: The Gathering, Esports, and Streaming Abstract Magic: The Gathering is a household name among analog games. Its publisher, Wizards of the Coast, has experimented with digital adaptations since the late 1990s, however it was only in 2018--2019 when the company announced a more radical push for the video game market, including a strategy for streaming and esports. By analyzing streaming content, paratextual elements, and online discussions leading up to the first major digital tournament, I explore the attempted and heavily promoted transition of Magic: The Gathering from a primarily analog card game towards a transmedia esports property. Beside conflicting reactions from players and fans to particular aspects of this transformation, this change brings along deepened mediatization of the game as a way to improve the spectator experience by following the media logics of streaming and esports. Professional players in the newly formed esports league along with other sponsored content creators were recruited to serve as advocates for this transition. Keywords mediatization, streaming, esports, sportification, professional player, monetization, video game, card game Introduction Magic: The Gathering (Garfield, 1993) has established the genre of trading card games (Brougère, 2004; Martin, 2004) and inspired modern in-app monetization practices such as loot boxes (Nielsen and Grabarczyk, 2018). Despite its sustained economic success over more than 25 years, the game received less mainstream exposure than, for example, Dungeons & Dragons (Gygax and Arneson, 1974), which has recently captured broad attention due to references in hit television shows and popular streaming series such as Critical Role (Trammell, 2019).
