Remember in Tales of the Unknown, Volume I: The Bard's Tale when you entered the Temple of the Mad God and had to speak his name ("TARJAN") in order to be allowed entrance into the Catacombs? The scripting that will be used in The Bard's Tale Remastered in order to deliver that moment once again has been published to Facebook by Rebecca Heineman, with the addition of a "BURGER" option (that doesn't look to end well for the party) and possibly others that are being submitted below the post by various fans. The original script is below, with the two text options highlighted:
A sample of the scripting language I created for Bard's Tale III: The Thief of Fate.

Additionally, Rebecca has also taken to Twitter in order to share the automap graphic that will be used for the city of Tangramayne when we indulge in The Bard's Tale II Remastered:
