Idea - Scenario Storyboard Contest in Blades of Exile
Silent Motion BoE Posse Member # 15	written Thursday, June 9 2005 09:26 Profile Homepage #10 My hope here is to provide an avenue for expression for non-technical people with good story ideas. It's also a way to keep the community moving forward, trying new things. IMO - Without a contest, people will never commit the time it takes to storyboard a decent scenario. If you really want to write scenarios, you better be humble and open to criticism. Is this for timid people? No. -------------------- All that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

Idea - Scenario Storyboard Contest in Blades of Exile
Silent Motion BoE Posse Member # 15	written Tuesday, June 7 2005 03:58 Profile Homepage #5 Great stuff! I don't think a scanner is critical, but it might help if you hand draw maps. In that case, a scanner or a digital camera would help. Otherwise, why not just use a free drawing program to create an electronic copy? No need to be fancy - this is about communication of ideas, not artwork. Keep them idears comin! -------------------- All that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

Idea - Scenario Storyboard Contest in Blades of Exile
Silent Motion BoE Posse Member # 15	written Monday, June 6 2005 09:03 Profile Homepage #3 We do get rough scenario ideas from time to time and we do (as a community) comment upon them. That's a good thing. What I'm thinking of is the next step - you take an idea and storyboard it. The storyboard should be complete enough that anyone could take it and program it. It doesn't have to be BoE or BoA specific. The storyboard should include at least: 1. The plot 2. The characters 3. The dialog 4. The towns and their layout 5. The outdoors and its layout. 6. The various subplots, sidequests, etc. that push the main plot forward. There's probably more than that, and the amount of detail needed for some areas is open to discussion, but hopefully this gives you a better idea. -------------------- All that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

Scenario Storyboard Contest? in Blades of Avernum
Silent Motion BoE Posse Member # 15	written Monday, June 6 2005 04:03 Profile Homepage #0 This is a cross-post in several places - you'll understand why when you read it.... We have a lot of people out there with good story ideas that will never develop a scenario. Not enough time, lack of programming skills, etc. What about a contest where people designed a storyboard for a scenario? You know, the pencil & paper stuff, like the story, the dialog, descriptions of the land and cities, etc. The best of these could be turned into scenarios by those authors that have the programming abilities at a later date. While those of us in the community right now would probably not enjoy playing these scenarios as much as one who never read the "script," future members of the community would greatly benefit. It might also inspire a writer to go the extra step and actually program the darn thing! It also may help existing authors who "storyboard as they go," giving them a new way to approach scenario development. Obviously we need to flesh this out if you think it's a good idea. Thoughts? -------------------- All that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

Silent Motion BoE Posse Member # 15	written Thursday, May 26 2005 08:05 Profile Homepage #53 OK, I've read enough borderline comments here to write to those making those comments: Enough. Stop using text symbols to illustrate sex organs. Stop using offensive words like asscovering or phrases like "go to hell." Stop getting so worked up over a game and the community that surrounds it you can't maintain civility. Keep it civil. Keep it objective. Use constructive criticism in a polite manner. If you can't do that, take it outside - to a non-Spiderweb forum. I'll delete the topic if need be and suspend privileges if I must. -------------------- All that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

The Future of Alexandria? in Blades of Exile
Silent Motion BoE Posse Member # 15	written Monday, April 25 2005 09:55 Profile Homepage #0 I think it's safe to say that we will never see the proposed update to Alexandria. I would really like to hand this over to someone else. Much could be done here, and if it's done right it could serve as a template for a BoA scenarios DB as well. This is a great project for someone who wants or needs to learn about Web-based DBs. Maybe you can even use this as a school project. Please give this some thought. I'll help you in any way I can. It's time somebody else stepped up and took Alexandria to the next level. -------------------- All that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.
