What instruments do you play? in General
Shaper
Member # 73
Profile #55
Umm... I have basic piano skills, which allowed me to create God Damn Snow (available for listening and download on my Myspace profile - www.myspace.com/zeeqon5 ) and Edam Cheese Expert (one version of which is finished but still needs work and is therefore not released yet), but the latter is incredibly simple and the former was mostly programmed using Cakewalk Home Studio's click-and-drag interface.

I own a bass guitar, which I used to create "Life In A Fish Tank" (also available on my Myspace), a non-musical soundscene. It hardly qualifies as playing though.

I can play a rainstick fairly well, as evidenced by another non-musical soundscene (once again, available on my Myspace), "Three Internet Geeks Arguing While Driving In The Rain".

In other words, I can't play any instruments. :P

Shaper
Member # 73
Profile #18
A scenario I made in which I prepare my parties for other scenarios. That is the inn/tavern. It also has an artifact hall where I store artifacts I pick up during my adventures, a training hall where I get my newly created parties up to the level I want them at, equipment chests, a library that currently serves only to contain someone to identify and buy my items, and a park. Once I polish it up I might release it, but that probably won't be for a while.

Massachusetts residents get St. Patrick's Day off. Not because of St. Patrick's Day though. In Massachusetts, March 17 is also Evacuation Day, the day the British army evacuated Boston during the American Revolution. It's a state holiday, and all nonvital workers get the day off.

Nethergate is a windowed game as well. It tells you that it runs best in 800x600 screen resolution, and I suppose it does look better that way, but it runs perfectly fine in 1024x768 resolution.

I'd like to say a few words in memory of Nathan Ashby, dearly departed.

He was a good man, always ready and willing to give someone a hint in a game or to offer advice on game design. He was an excellent player, an excellent designer, an excellent friend, and an excellent lover. He will certainly be missed.

What is canned? in General
Shaper
Member # 73
Profile #5
More specifically, the Canned title refers to the Can of Spam avatar (back when we had avatars here) given to spammers. If you misbehave and spam too much (as you have been doing), you get the Canned title, which can only go away through extraordinarily good behavior. Also note that "Canned" is only one letter away from "Banned". If you continue your bad behavior after Canning, you will be banned.

You finally beat Kuja, the man who has been manipulating people and destroying cities. Suddenly, with literally no previous mention or even hint of his existance whatsoever, you have to fight Necron. Who the hell is Necron? Why did they need a big cliched god of death that just comes out of nowhere? Nobody really knows. They should have made Kuja harder and just wrapped everything up right then instead of dragging it out with some stupid random fight.

Secnario idea. in Blades of Exile
Shaper
Member # 73
Profile #1
Probably not a "major disaster", but it wouldn't be very popular either.

First of all, it's impossible to make a scenario that never runs out of quests to do, unless you have the quests repeat themselves.

Second, for the majority of BoE players, plot is an important part of the scenario experience. Also, quests are vastly more interesting and enjoyable when they are within the context of and part of a story.

Third, it's really difficult to make a large scenario with many different choices for the player to make, especially if you have no previous designing experience and no plot to keep you interested in designing it for an extended period of time. Many people try, but very few succeed.

Fourth, there are already several huge, epic scenarios with lots of quests to complete, notably the Spheres trilogy, At The Gallows (probably its sequel, Spears, as well, but I don't know much about it), and (especially) the Adventurer's Club trilogy, and all of them have plotlines.

But why don't you try and come up with a plot? It doesn't have to be big and complex. Many popular scenarios are actually quite short and linear. There are several experienced designers and plotwriters here who can help you with pretty much any aspect of scenario design you can think of. There's currently a thread in the BoA forum called "I Want To Crush Your Dreams". Even though it's in the BoA forum, it applies to BoE as well. Might be worth a look.

Glad to see a new prospective designer, at any rate. Welcome to the Spiderweb Software forums! Leave your sanity at the door, and don't expect it to be there when you leave. For that matter, don't expect to leave at all.

If you're going to use Jasc Paint Shop Pro, use version 6 instead of version 5. Version 6 is freeware too. It's what I use, although granted, my graphics skills aren't that great, at least not compared to some other members of the community.

I also recommend BoE. Excellent value, that BoE. Hundreds of scenarios, many of at least decent quality, several of truly excellent quality. Some are full-length epic adventures, while some are short and sweet. Definitely a good buy, if you like the Exile engine.
