Change the boat graphic to a piece of terrain. It will float. May make the party disappear though. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

When I found out you couldn't kill it by fighting it. I thought there was some way you could destroy the dungeon and trap it there forever maybe by turning the wheel and releasing the lava or blowing up the containers of poisonous goop. Just a thought. :rolleyes: -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh. Star Bright, Star Light, Oh I Wish I May, I Wish Might, Wish For One Star Tonight.

Would you like me to add to Buttered Toasts short scenario design contest? There should be at least one more new scenario coming in soon for beta testing :P . Which would make it a total of four short scenarios coming out recently. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

It was interesting looking at the other boards. Half of them are dead. I like playing with links in peoples footers as well. However, there does not seem to be a way to search members to see if they have links attached to their descriptions. It would be interesting to see what the links are from the various members in alphabetical order. I know there would be a few things worth looking at. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

There are two historical figures where most of the vampire legends come from They are Vlad Dracul, a real person, and Countess Bathory. Vlad was a transylvanian count and crusader known for his incredible cruelty and fiercesomeness in battle. He was supposed to have impaled people on stakes. One incident has him nailing a diplomats hat to his head because he refused to take it off his head. Countess Bathory was rumored to believe that bathing in the blood of Virgins would make her immortal. Some vampires do not drink blood. They decapitate their victims then drain the blood into pools so they can bathe in it. There are vampires in other cultures. Chinese vampires drain the ki or life force from their victims not blood. The only way to kill them is to destroy their burial urns. They are supposed to be attracted to degenerate behavior. It would be interesting to have a vampire that drained both spell points and hit points. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

I would like to be able to start as a servile-- there should be two types of serviles the character could be warrior servile and craftsman servile. Craftsman serviles should be able to make stuff like living tools, potions, wands and have good spell casting ability, etc but should have very limited shaping skills. In fact it would be interesting if they were the only ones with strong alchemy skills. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

Livejournal costs to join to get full functionality. It is not free. If it costs more money than I can do something useful with I make sure that I am getting my moneys worth. Useful is a 25 cent phone call. I'm a cheap b*****d. I am curious what are the all boards for spiderweb including groups like msn, etc. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

Yes, boats in Avernum are very weird. There is only one type of boat and it is always just big enough to fit your adventurers. It would be interesting to see a new boat graphic-- a slith boat, a fishing boat, or a vahnati boat. It may also explain why the empire claims that they have conquered all of Ermariana. They do not have big enough boats to cover large distances in open water. All of the shore waters in Avernum are very calm. But, we don't know about the seas. An interesting plot device would be a big boat designed as a building in a town... It would be the first such boat in Avernum. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

I was fooling with http://groups.yahoo.com I noticed there were groups for Avernum and Spiderweb Software. Not too many members yet. Yahoo Groups is kind of like a chain letter. You ask a bunch of people to join, then you ask that each person ask a couple people to join, etc. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

There is no indication where any of the rivers lead in Avernum, other than the waterfall regions. Following the theme all rivers flow to the sea eventually. Is there any indication that there is an inner sea deeper in the caverns of Avernum. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

If the continent is conquered most of the non-humans, rebels, and outlaws would have been driven into the deserts and inhospitable places. Where the empire cannot go they will have to go. This should toughen them up being the survivors of imperial "killing fields". I can imagine a combination of paranoia and heavy armament. Sliths would especially do well in deserts. They are heat resistant and very hardy. I can imagine a kind of desert slith different from the swamp sliths. The surviving non-humans would try very hard to keep the empire out hiding their resources well. In addition there would be the local nomads. The nomads would already have known about the empire from the non-humans creating a strong sense of hostility. There would have to be a very strong reason to go into the deserts for the empire. The resources which stand out in the deserts of Africa-- gold and diamonds, Australia-- opals, Arabia-- oil possibly for Greek fire, dry land plants-- myrrh, cinnamon, spices and potion ingredients. Salt flats near where the desert meets the sea. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

I've told Kelandon about the judges forum. Am still looking for one-two more judges. Some thoughts on the challenges in the scenario. 1) The outdoor section will have to be either surrounded by high walls or possibly water then blackness. I think water might add an interesting effect to the outdoor section. 2) I think that you may have to use the Louvre for pictures of some of the new items or creatures. http://www.personal.psu.edu/staff/b/x/bxb11/boa/louvre/ 3) There is going to have to be a transition between levels for the two level structure. These are a few thoughts. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh. Star Bright, Star Light, Oh I Wish I May, I Wish Might, Wish For One Star Tonight.

I haven't even figured out who the judges are yet. This is all new to me. I also have to figure out prizes. I think there should be about 4-5 judges.
