Oh no! Beta! in Blades of Avernum
Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Sunday, September 17 2006 00:58 Profile Homepage #10 Trust me, I wasn't going to leave it at 'Everyone.' I was actually going to ask if the rating should be 'Teen' or 'Mature' since I'm not completely aware of how much a few cuss words would raise the rating in America. So what'll be? Does 'Teen' cover it or should I slap 'Mature' as the content rating? -------------------- These are my scenarios. I may have too much free time but I really don't care.

Oh no! Beta! in Blades of Avernum
Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Friday, September 1 2006 09:31 Profile Homepage #0 This may be a bit premature but my third scenario for BoA is almost done. I swear I'll get it done by next week's Saturday, possibly a couple of days sooner. So write down your name, write down your operating system and write down your email address and help me make Rats Aplenty the best scenario released by me this year. Some info about Rats Aplenty: It's for level one parties. It has ten towns and two outdoor sections. It's trying to be funny (since it's trying, it will probably fail.) so if you didn't laugh once while playing my previous scenario chances are you won't be laughing now. -------------------- These are my scenarios.

MoC - couple of questions in Blades of Avernum
Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Tuesday, July 18 2006 21:38 Profile Homepage #4 I should have fixed this ages ago. For some reason I could never make Beohram stay at the dinner hall. First of all your orders were to kill the nephil chieftain. Have you done it? Did you free the slaves/kill the chief before you joined the army in Gerolt's Hamlet? Did Beohram ever say anything besides "You have your orders?" Could you send me the save file you have? My email address is in the Readme. -------------------- These are my scenarios.

Beta check on aisle three in Blades of Avernum
Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Tuesday, July 18 2006 08:46 Profile Homepage #37 That reminds me. When I first sent MoC to Spidweb and after three weeks it still wasn't up there I sent another email and got this response: "Sorry for the delay, and thanks for the reminder. My laptop was stolen (all our Blades email and scenarios were stored on it) and your first email went with it. It's up now. I created the Mac version of the graphics (magi.cmg) for Mac users. Mariann Krizsan" I got this on the 31st of January, so this could at least explain why Ephesos' update for DoK wasn't added. -------------------- These are my scenarios.

Boa scenario's: what stage are they in now? in Blades of Avernum
Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Sunday, June 4 2006 08:43 Profile Homepage #39 BUMP BUMPITY BUMPY BUMP So, how many of these scenarios are still being made? Or more importantly has anyone made any progress with their scenarios? I'll go first: I've been trying to design something every weekend and while on some weekends progress has been very slow, Rats Aplenty is steadily nearing completion. I haven't actually finished the design of any town yet. But most of the dialog has been written. Currently I'm coding the side quests and designing towns. If someone has visited my site they'll know that I've set the release date for the 7th of July. I'm not sure if I'll be done by then. That date seemed soo far away when I wrote it down... -------------------- These are my scenarios. I may have too much free time but I really don't care.

I need to improve my plot... in Blades of Avernum
Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Sunday, May 14 2006 08:34 Profile Homepage #12 quote: Originally written by Pyrulen: That's an interesting thought, though not one that I hadn't considered, although as yet I haven't thought of a reason for this. The demon is hardly going to use some backwater village as a base to raise an army of conquering undead is it? No. But maybe the demon is: a) Feeding on the minds of the townspeople, until they become drooling vegetables. b) Simply hiding from another demon or something. Maybe a power struggle in hell didn't go well for the demon. c) Using the humans as slave labor to uncover some kind of mystical artifact/build an evil machine. (These ideas suck if you don't refine them.) d) Maybe the demon got kicked out of hell and now he's lonely and tries to make friends with humans but doesn't understand how their minds work so he simply controls them and winds up being slain by bully adventurers. Sniff. That poor demon. quote: Then there is the question of why the party is there in the first place; if there is seemingly no problem at the beginning, what are they there for? Is the 'just passing through' argument good enough? Well, gee. That's what I'm using in my new scenario. So, yes. quote: Without giving away the entire plot, one question remains: Where does the essential demonic boss lair fit in to all of this? I like Lazarus' idea about killing the demon in the town square. Of course the demon could have also constructed some kind of cliched catacombs underneath the town.

Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Saturday, May 13 2006 05:54 Profile Homepage #6 Pyrulen, what I want is a new scenario that's not made by me. It's been a while since one those showed up. On the Pratchett thing: I suppose one of the Vimes books would make a decent cityscape/crime mystery scenario. Some of the other books have too many different locations in them. Still: yes I think this would be too ambitious. On the demon thing: If you decide to make it anyway then please give thought on why the demon is controlling the village and not just doing the usual: "I evil! I kill!" - routine. -------------------- These are my scenarios. I may have too much free time but I really don't care.

I need to improve my plot... in Blades of Avernum
Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Saturday, May 13 2006 01:32 Profile Homepage #2 Ahem. I believe Pyrulen meant that he was going to adapt a book into a scenario. Personally I think a scenario like that could be a bit too ambitious for a first time designer, since it will most certainly become a largish scenario. As for the demon thing, I'll do some brainstroming m'self: Now this could easily be made into a short scenario. The party might just be passing through the village and notice how everyone is acting strangely or perhaps some of them will attack the party outright. Then the party will explore the mystery, maybe find someone who is resistant to the demon's mind control and this person will nudge the party in the right direction and boom! The party finds the huge fortress of the demon that no-one has noticed before despite it being in an obvious location and hackfest ensues. Of course some people will have a heart attack at the sight of the words "demon" and "scenario" being used in the same sentence. -------------------- These are my scenarios.

Dialogue Node Limit Reached in Blades of Avernum
Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Saturday, April 15 2006 06:56 Profile Homepage #0 I have now reached the 200 dialogue node limit in my upcoming scenario Rats Aplenty. Since I am the first to reach this very, very important milestone, I would like to take a moment to thank all the people who made it possible: - My parent for conceiving, feeding and clothing me. I could not have done it without you. - Friends and other family for their support and whatnot. - The community for keeping me interested in designing. - And above all, I'd like to thank Jeff for making the 200 node limit in the first place. Thanks Jeff. Thanks a lot. It wasn't that hard to reach. Anyways, back to writing nodes now, I guess.

Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Friday, April 14 2006 01:08 Profile Homepage #19 Seems like a fair amount of scenarios being created. Who wants to say something pessimistic about how many will be released? Oh, and no-one should stare at the percent values about the completeness of Rats Aplenty I have on my site. I have pulled them completely out of my ass because I assume that's how most people who use percent values count them. Notice that I have a release date of some sorts for Rats Aplenty. I truly hope I can make it. I would get designing right now but I need to wait for my brain to wake-up and locate the creative juices I have floating somewhere in my body. -------------------- These are my scenarios.
