"A Cozy Mansion Mystery in the Making by Edgar O. Weyrd"<br />
<br />
{{game infobox|title=Delightful Wallpaper|image=|author=[[Andrew Plotkin]]|publisher=n/a|released=30-Sep-2006|authsystem=[[Inform 7]]|platform=[[Z-code]] 8|language=English|license=Freeware|color=none|graphics=none|sound=none|cruelty=TBD}}<br />
<br />
==How It Begins==<br />
You are a conceptual entity, carrying a notepad and no intentions, and standing in the courtyard outside a large mansion. You are here to examine and ready the mansion for the drama to come, and to direct the players to their places after they arrive.<br />
<br />
==Notable Features==<br />
* Unusual PC. The PC, being conceptual itself, cannot manipulate physical objects, only conceptual ones called "intentions".<br />
* Unusual NPCs. The NPCs can exist in multiple locations simulataneously. Unlike standard NPCs which wander and can be conversed with, the NPCs of ''Delightful Wallpaper'' exist as potential story slices in those locations that their respective stories take them.<br />
* The game has two distinct parts to it. In the first part, the PC is exploring a mansion that doesn't want to be explored; the mansion is [[maze]]-like in this section. In the second part, the players are directed by moving their intentions, each to die and be eulogized with short couplets in the style of Edward Gorey.<br />
* The notepad object automatically updates itself with information that the player needs to know, and frees the player from having to make his or her own notes. Sometimes, the notepad draws inferences that the player might not otherwise be certain of; this is deliberate to minimize the need to test cause and effect.<br />
<br />
==Trivia and Comments==<br />
* "Edgar O. Weyrd" is an anagram of "Edward Gorey".<br />
<br />
==Versions==<br />

<div>The newsletter of the [[Adrift|ADRIFT]] community edited by [[David Whyld]]. Previously edited by [[Ken Franklin]], [[Mystery]] and [[Woodfish]]. The newsletter features news, various articles and comments as well as a [[Adrift Forum Digest|forum digest]]. Starting with issue 31, the InsideADRIFT newsletter will also include reviews of Interactive Fiction and ADRIFT games, incorporating the now discontinued [[Reviews Exchange]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The first two issues, under the name ''Drifters Monthly'', were edited by [[Woodfish]]. Issue one, produced as a plain text file, can probably be seen as a high point of the newsletter as it was the culmination of a lot of speculation over such a project. Additionally the number of contributors was never to be reached again, a favourite of mine is the Let’s talk interactive fiction discussion between En Kerklaar and a camel.<br />
<br />
[[Mystery]] took up the editor’s quill with issue three, and went for a web based format with an additional PDF version available. In many ways she set down the format that has<br />
continued through to this issue. Issue three had the catchy title of ''ADRIFT Newsletter'', as a competition on the forum was deciding the new name. Issue four, with the winning title of ''InsideADRIFT'' appeared. The June issue seven was Mystery’s last as editor, due to family responsibilities over the summer holiday.<br />
<br />
This was where [[Ken Franklin]] took over the editorship with the July 2003 issue. Changes were largely to stylistic matters, except for a new logo, and that pattern has been followed ever since.<br />
<br />
The InsideADRIFT newsletter now has the [http://www.insideadrift.org.uk insideadrift.org.uk] domain name registered as well as its own ISSN (1743-0577).<br />

<div>In future, editors should please try to make an effort to find out which version of ADRIFT that a game was written in, e.g.: ADRIFT 3.9 or ADRIFT 4, and note this on the game's page. Thanks. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 18:56, 13 August 2006 (EST)<br />
<br />
*Sorry if it's obvious, but how do we know the difference? If a game works correctly with ADRIFT RUNNER Version 4.0, does it mean it's an ADRIFT 4 game?<br />
--[[User:Eriorg|Eriorg]] 08:15, 14 August 2006 (EST)<br />
<br />
* Your assumption is correct. Older games written with Adrift 3.9 will not load in the V4 Runner and instead display the following message: 'This Adventure file is Version 3.90. You will need to convert it with ADRIFT Generator 4.00'. -- [[User:Shuarian|Shuarian]] 22:32, 14 August 14 2006 (CEST)</div>Shuarianhttps://www.ifwiki.org/index.php?title=Reviews_Exchange&diff=17171Reviews Exchange2006-08-14T20:15:55Z<p>Shuarian: Fixed factual error - Robert Street was responsible for issue 6 - 9, not only 8 and 9.</p>

<div>I propose that this article simply redirects to [[InsideADRIFT]]. Any thoughts? - Shuarian</div>Shuarianhttps://www.ifwiki.org/index.php?title=InsideADRIFT&diff=17168InsideADRIFT2006-08-14T19:47:32Z<p>Shuarian: </p>

<div>The newsletter of the [[Adrift|ADRIFT]] community edited by [[David Whyld]]. Previously edited by [[Ken Franklin]], [[Mystery]] and [[Woodfish]]. The newsletter features news, various articles and comments as well as a forum digest. Starting with issue 31, the InsideADRIFT newsletter will also include reviews of Interactive Fiction and ADRIFT games, incorporating the now discontinued [[Reviews Exchange]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The first two issues, under the name ''Drifters Monthly'', were edited by [[Woodfish]]. Issue one, produced as a plain text file, can probably be seen as a high point of the newsletter as it was the culmination of a lot of speculation over such a project. Additionally the number of contributors was never to be reached again, a favourite of mine is the Let’s talk interactive fiction discussion between En Kerklaar and a camel.<br />
<br />
[[Mystery]] took up the editor’s quill with issue three, and went for a web based format with an additional PDF version available. In many ways she set down the format that has<br />
continued through to this issue. Issue three had the catchy title of ''ADRIFT Newsletter'', as a competition on the forum was deciding the new name. Issue four, with the winning title of ''InsideADRIFT'' appeared. The June issue seven was Mystery’s last as editor, due to family responsibilities over the summer holiday.<br />
<br />
This was where [[Ken Franklin]] took over the editorship with the July 2003 issue. Changes were largely to stylistic matters, except for a new logo, and that pattern has been followed ever since.<br />
<br />
The [[InsideADRIFT Newsletter]] now has the [http://www.insideadrift.org.uk insideadrift.org.uk] domain name registered as well as it's own ISSN (1743-0577).<br />
