PLAY THESE MAPS ON NIGHTMARE DIFFICULTY AND IN A UMAPINFO COMPATIBLE PORT! Nah for real just do it.
"Three times Randolph Carter dreamed of the marvellous city, and three times he was snatched away while still he paused on the high terrace above it." (H.P. Lovecraft; the opening lines of The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath)
This month the Krew drag you into the morbid dreams of H.P. Lovecraft's Great Old Ones where you'll get wrecked by really fast projectiles and respawning monsters; Krewthulhu doesn't fuck around. dmdr was the boss this month but see dbp25-credits.txt and (especially) the map listing below for a list of more important people.
A special welcome to our DBP first timers, morpheuskitami and temp!

Sick! Been hunting around for some awesome Lovecraft wads for ages. There are so few around, and even fewer that scratch that itch and do the genre justice. I'll check this out for sure
really like it, working nicely with EOA, thank you good sir.
I'm not sure if someone reported this bug but ***SPOILER ALERT***
In Map 11, the hidden area where there's an explosive barrel that damages the player actor whenever you use the exit portal needs more explosive barrels inside since the explosion doesn't reach the player actor. I was wondering why I can't seem to finish the last map and I believe this is the actual reason.
