ClubFloyd Transcript:
The Dragon Diamond by Kenneth Pedersen
As played on ifMUD on July 7, 2019

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of The Dragon Diamond written by Kenneth Pedersen. This game has existed in several forms since as least 1987. There were Commodore and ADRIFT versions before there was an Inform version. There's also a sequel to this game, The "Way Home", but available only in ADRIFT 5. Together, the pair of games is called "The Bash Saga". You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd | Finally you arrive at the outskirts of the forest. Both you and the

Floyd | Dragon Diamond..." She did not need to finish her sentence with the
Floyd | words "...if you want to live." You know her too well.
