I chose kittens because of their amazing cuteness, and resilence to almost all man-made toxins (excluding the amazing cheese and onion sandwiches at my college cafeteria). By choosing said fluffy bundles of love, I hoped to create a hate-campaign against the original kitten-muncher, that infidel Ben. It kinda backfired when other people I liked joined in... -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

I prefer the Rebels. There's something about being cruel to an imaginery species in a computer game that just... makes me feel bad. I dunno.

quote:Yeah, that fight with the mutant dogs IS tough! The way I dealt with it was to haste my fighters, run across the gallery towards the chest, whilst using my priest to heal any damage done. Then, as my fighter reached the chest, I prised out the stick (1-4 *5/level damage -- a good weapon...) and threw it. Any dogs that are not already lying in their own juices should chase it, leaving you free to snatch the Almighty Dragon-Slaying Spanner at your own pace. I really can't wait for this thing to come out. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

Wandering's fun, and a necessary part of ones Spiderwebbing life if they are banned due to a "clerical error". I don't know why "clerical error" is in quotation marks, since it isn't actually the reason I was given. Still, it sounds cool. And such. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know? Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

I just popped in to collect my wages - we do get them Aran, if we threaten Union action - and saw I'd created a monster... Nice. Ohh, and kitten-eating is frowned upon in Western society, but only because of the human sacrifice needed to corner and bring a kitten down successfully. Oh, and Ben... no hard feelings. Wait, what am I saying? Hard feelings. Lots of them, got it?! ( :P ) -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

I loved the moment in Tomb Raider one when the T-Rex came at you in the third level. That was a great moment. In fact, TR1 was full of them... The Lara clone that you had to fry up, anybody?

Ben, you monster. I actually thought for a moment that I WAS missed. That's it. I quit. Effective immediately. I'll be in to collect my wages on Monday, and then I'm gone. Oh, and the baddie in my BoA scenario is now called "That devious infidel Ben, the one that eats kittens". That's karma for ya baby! -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

I was gone all week too. A whole week.

What's with the puncuation trigrams? Is there something in the water? Oh, and I'm not doing too badly on the old posting front either, which is nice. Slow and steady and all that...

Hey. I'm excited.... My FINAL sceanrio plan then, in 4 sentences... The party are a group of inexperienced soldiers, sent to a remote island in order to complete their training before being posted into the army. The island is highly magical, and has on it a experimental teleporter used for probing other dimensions. The teleporter gets hijacked by a demon trapped in another dimension, who, using mental powers is using the mages in area to alter the portal to free it. However, the mages are going mad, and the party must find out what is happening, and either free the demon, or kill it. I've started designing already. Oh, and I'm free from around 4 - 6/7pm GMT most evenings. That's when I can guarantee internet access. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

The cave does have a settlement of sorts in it's centre... theres a brick wall, and the party get flashed a dialog.

OKay, yeah, maybe should have been more clear, although I did mean in general. This particular "town" is a swampy cave infested with rats. So I tried to place a few rats in, threw in one or two mung rats to deabilitate the party and added one or two lava bats further in. The thing is, it's incredibly easy for my level one group (for which the party is intended) to dispatch them all by employing next to no tactics at all. For instance, is there a way to get a group of the same monsters to attack one at a time, to stop the party rushing off behind a wall and attacking one-on-one? -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

Okay, I've created my outdoors, and one town. The thing is, I want to populate it with bad guys and to be honest, I suck at it. I placed some rats in for my level one party to try their hand at, and they dispatched them incredibly easily. So, what I guess I'm asking is how do I make combat situations harder for the player - I know how to make tough bad guys after reading the article, but I need interesting battles - something more than just picking them off one at a time. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?
