A lot of the reason (i think) that people didn't put out any suggestions on puzzles is because a personal taste varies so much. Some people like puzzles, some people like black smith puzzles, some people like riddles. It all varies. Me personally I like puzzles that make me think, instead of making me do a repetitive task of stupidy. (like for example A3, push the barrels into the water. A2, finding the athame, push crap into water every time you resurface on the top level.) So I guess thats my only suggestion, probably a hard one to achieve though, for in order for you to make the player think, you have to do twice the thinking yourself. So good luck.

"An older version of BoE"? BoE hasn't been updated in about 7 years now. Every version is an old version. :P

This is just some guy talking, not anyone who knows why. But, if the registration process is anything like spiderwebs, then every game has a different registration code. What you could do however is allow people to get the game, and simply put a preference file somewhere that people might actually know about and visit. Or at least make sure people find out about it.

Edit: and the registration code for it of course

Well, I was considering making it freeware since Spiderweb decided to focus on their core business (e.g. Jeff's RPGs, since distributing other peoples' games didn't turn out too well).
However, it appears that HOTU doesn't want to host it. That's a shame, since my own webpage isn't particularly stable (nor has it high enough bandwidth).

With Mac OS X 10.3.5, I'm having several troubles with BoE.

First, ResEdit will not work to create a .MEG file. I have downloaded new copies of ResEdit, bumped memory up on it, etc. No go. It either crashes when I attempt to paste an image into a file, or it refuses to paste it. I've used ResEdit for over 10 years, BoE for at least 6, and previously created dozens of MEG files, so I know it's not me.

Second, the Character Editor is very flaky. If you are in millions of colors and start the editor, it will crash the first time when you try to save a file, even if you've switched to 256 color mode. If you then reload it (while still in 256 color mode) it will limp along.

Even if you do get it to work, sometimes when you try to add spells to a character, the text in the dialog box that names each spell is absent. So, you have several rows of checkboxes with no descriptive text. What fun!

Also, the icon for the Character Editor has changed to the default application icon in OS X - two sheets of paper with a pencil, brush, and ruler on the bottom of the paper.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

The more the better. All depends on the tradeoff -- how much it costs, etc.

I get 5GB/mo. Never gotten close. I will once Pyg's up, though.

I'm going to define "end of next week" as Saturday the 18th, unless anyone has any objections. Then I'll make the final edit to the first post in this thread, and... well... it would be nice if someone important (and here I am thinking of Stareye) would send this to Jeff at that point because I am a nobody and I have no idea if he would just ignore a random e-mail from me.

We could combine this with Keep's bugs topic in the final e-mail.

If you make it a higher level, you also make it a lot tougher.

What you can do is make a script for that creature and put in the DEAD_STATE a reward_party_xp() call.
