I may have hit a bug in Playing for Keeps. That, or I am wildly inept. Both options seem perfectly valid given my life choices. Anyway, I took out the pirates because I cheated (like a boss) and then mind controlled them and yadda yadda yadda, I went back and chased Shimakaze all over the place and got her into the tavern only for there to be no object for me to interact with when she slams the door in my face. I can't tell if I'm supposed to be bale to do something beyond that, or if there's an extra step I'm just missing, or if that part of the game is just unfinished because, hey, games are hard. Your thoughts?

I haven't gotten that far in Playing for Keeps yet, as I've managed to .

If you can provide an exported save along with a description of what you tried to do, what you thought would happen, and what did happen, I can try to test that scenario to see if anything looks obviously broken.

Though PfK and Me Against the World are both known to have legit dead ends in the game caused by you not bringing item x or skill y into a given situation.

Regalia is a browser-based RAGS player, to replace the slow and mostly abandoned Windows RAGS player.

It should be faster than the Windows RAGS client, is more portable, creates smaller savegames, and has additional features like variable editing and freezing.

Converted Game Downloads:

After extracting a game, you will need to extract the latest version of Regalia over it. Note that the file you should start the game with is regalia.html, you can safely delete any files you have left over like "TheSinner - regalia.html".


If you want export additional games to run with Regalia, you can see instructions in the README on GitHub:


Note that you will probably want some version of the hacked RAGS designer


I haven't fully tested all the games; there are many cosmetic bugs but possibly a few showstoppers left in there.
I'm interested to hear feedback from y'all:
  • Do the games work
  • Are there more features you think it should have

that actually was easy to do.

is it possible to upload a regalia-version of the no haven version 0.803?
I think their recent efforts in Rags 2.x/3.x cross-compatibility has made it a no-go.

It crashes trying to load into the Rags 2.x designer, which is the only version that can export to JavaScript for Regalia. The 3.x designer spits out some weird Silverlight app.

Probably they authored the most recent version in the Rags 3.x designer and it saves some new bits that confuse the 2.x designer.

There's probably work that could be done to hack up the Rags 2.x designer code to load and export with whatever changes they've made, but it's a lot of work considering there's maybe two good Rags 3.x games that exist.

@selectivepaperclip I'm getting a setup game error with the slavers game chapter 4
The issue was some stray newlines in exported JavaScript strings.

Here's a fixed version:
I've pushed a fix to the Github as well in case any other games have a similar enough issue. I haven't been able to do much testing, so hopefully my regexp nonsense doesn't break any other games.

@selectivepaperclip May have found a bug in 'Me Against The World'. I'm not sure if it was in the original though.

When the father busts in, right at the start, and tells you to the "ABCs" on the shelf in his study. Got the 3 books and tried to add them to the shelf. Book A will go, but trying to add the others ends up in a message saying "You don't have any books you can put into one of the empty slots", even though the books are in the inventory.

Screen added for visual aid: Capture.PNG

EDIT: Woops. Found the solution, even though I searched the thread previously.

@selectivepaperclip I found an "older" 0.801-version of "No Haven"


may you could do me the favor and update your reagalia-version to this one =)
Seems to also crash the Rags Designer, or at least the one I have.

I think everything after 0.8x is not going to work unless
  • they reverse course and decide to develop solely with/for Rags 2 again
  • someone goes through the heroic effort to hack up the game's JavaScript export code to work on this crazy game
  • maybe it does successfully load in the new Rags 2.6 version, in which case I have to re-make all my RagsLib.dll patches and oh god
I guess your options are
  • Play it in the Rags 2.x Windows player and have it be ungodly slow to save and load but
  • Play it in the Rags 3.x Windows player and have it be faster but maybe buggier and I'm not sure if it's possible to cheat?
  • Play one of the many other games on this site. there are so many!!
