│ Description of this Inter-IGM and Vanadia │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Shepley is an odd little man that has a passion for games. The only
thing in life he likes more than games, are gems. You have to pay him
a gem if you want to play, but he'll give you one if you win a game.
However, he won't let you play if you have more than three gems and you
don't give him a few more. Simply put, he'll do anything to get some
gems out of you.
Shepley will play up to three games with you each day. He'll let you
pick them, sorta. You see he has to guess what game you want to play,
but if he gets tired of guessing he may accuse you of being a liar. If
that happens you better play the last game he guessed and agree to be
good or you may find yourself kicked out of his place.
The games Shepley likes are fairly simple, most of the time. They
include:
Riddle Time - 25 different riddles in all. He may give you a hint.
Hang Man - 25 different phrases. He won't hang you, honest.
Can You Anagram - 50 or more words
Match My Pattern - One of the harder logic games
Knight Moves - Can you squash a roach with a chess knight?
Wampus - Get zapped to the Wampus cave and hope you get out.
Concentration - The classic game of skill
Snake Hunt - Clean out Shepley's pond or lose.
High Card - A lot of luck and a little skill
Cards and Dice - More luck with skill
Five of a Kind - Classic dice gambling game
Hidden Phrase - 25 different phrases (similiar to Wheel of Fortune)
Magic Square - 5 different picutres. Unscramble the picture & win
Sum Master - A numbers game that requires some thought
Blackjack - Classic Game, but Shepley Style (House rules)

OPTION 1:
NOTE: This option requires Vanadia's Arena of Warriors to be REGISTERED and
Installed on your system!
Simply unpack all of the files in this archive into the directory containing
Vanadia's Arena of Warriors Inter-IGMs. The Realm of Vanadia has a built in
expander and will automatically detect that this program is available to the
users.
It couldn't get any easier than this...
OPTION 2:
NOTE: You must have all of The Realm of Vanadia IGMs in the same
directory for the Inter-IGM options to work correctly.
1 - Unpack the contents of this archive to the VANADIA directory, or
create a new directory for this IGM called VANADIA

present (the config program uses VANADIA.CFG, which may already
