*ADoS sanctifies the altar, yet again. Then, he makes a startling discovery.*
ADoS: This isn't the altar, this is just a coffee table!
*The group moves to the real altar, and sanctifies it. It explodes.*
ADoS: Well, I guess that was it. Let's get back to the bus, quickly!
*Everyone runs toward the bus, and get there just as it begins to float up toward the top of the cliff. They scramble aboard. The bus gets back to the top, and lands on the road.*
ADoS: Well, let's get going! I hear there's a big farm a few miles away! Shall we go there?

OOC: Okay, I'm back, and would like to point out the fact that I AM A PRIEST YOU DOOFI. Yes, doofi. I decided it's the plural of doofus.

IC:
ADoS: Okay, let's see... Eh, what's this?
*There is a button on the dashboard labeled "DEMONS B-GONE".*
ADoS: Oh, how convenient.
*He presses the button, and the demons all run away in fear.*
ADoS: That was easy. Now we just have to sanctify the temple and altar.
*ADoS gets off the bus, and heads to the temple with his simple wooden staff.*

OOC(A): Once again, John, these people could care less about the suburbs of Boston. Please stop referring to them.

ADoS: Hey, hey! The bus is big enough. We don't need bulldozer sidecars. Get rid of them! If you want somewhere else to sit, there's a spiral staircase at the back of the bus. Go to the second story. It's roomy.

OOC: There will be absolutely no more mention of Mao or TEH RESISTANCE in this topic. Sir David, please call yourself Sir David in this topic, not Sir DAOvid. Also, I will now make myself clear in saying that any attachments to the bus go on top. If you absolutely must have bulldozers, put them on the roof and install another staircase.
As for the new name, it has to be "Around the ______ in however long it takes!"

*ADoS walks up to Alec, smacks him in the head with his staff, and casts Resurrect on RoR.*

ADoS: Get off the bus, Alec.
Alec: I AM MAO! YOU ARE MAO ALSO.
ADoS: No, you're Alec. Get off my bus! I don't allow people onto my bus if they're going to blow up my girlfriend.
RoR: I am not your girlfriend!
*RoR hits him over the head with her scythe.*
ADoS: Ouch...

OOC: No, it isn't like the mall thread. There's sure to be shops, but other stuff too. That thread is just discussions of purchases. This is driving around the block in a big bus.

Well, maybe a block isn't good enough. Let's make it a road trip!
*various cheers*
Incidentally, it took about a day to drive around the block. Any suggestions for a new title?

I suppose so. Just as long as half the participants don't get off and go do something else. If you want to do that, start your own RP. You can quit whenever you want, though.

*ADoS pulls out a grenade launcher and blows up Sullust's bus.*
I said it's up to them how big the block is and what's on it. It could take up fifty square miles for all I care.

*ADoS stands in the middle of a big clearing with a big bus with an enormous plastic spider on the top, its legs hanging down between the windows. He is wearing the cardboard hat again, once again with the ridiculous smile on his face. A couple people stare at it, then walk away, bored of all the stupid spider vehicles.*

ADoS: Come one, come all! See the amazing Spider Bus!
*Silence.*
ADoS: Oh, whatever...

Okay, the last two RPs I started both resulted in someone getting angry at me. So this time, I'm driving a bus around the block. Remember this rule, and we'll be fine:

I am the driver. You are not the driver. I say we're driving around the block, and I mean it. No driving off on some road trip, no attaching rocket boosters and blasting off into space. Around the block. I might drive off somewhere else eventually, but probably not. It's up to you what's on the block, and how big the block is. But we are driving around the block, nowhere else.

Got it? Can we handle this without throwing the community into an uproar? Join in if you wish, there's plenty of room on the bus. There's even a big empty space in the back, big enough for a dragon.

By the way, I searched "Giant Monsters" in that sample database there, and Baba Yaga's hut showed up. It should be "Dancing Hut", not "Danging Hut", shouldn't it?

Yeah, that's a good idea. If you do that, I'll stop complaining.

Oh, and what about PC storage rooms? Will they be included? I have three sliths that I use to help me carry around all my stuff to sell, but I put them in the storage room when I'm done selling. If you don't, it's not a big deal, but I was just wondering.

Well, that was the point. That way, you can put something on an alter or something. I guess it's not too big of a deal, as long as you include the ability to have the scenario move items, like the Move Item node in BoE.

If you observe Avernum's data sheets/files/thingamabobs it has many "PICT" branches, one for each creature.

I hope there's some way around this, I really need to use custom graphics in my scenarios when its ready.

Hmm, how will Windows computers work, also? They have a .bmp they insert in the folder, yet their are multiple pictures required. That'll be one big .bmp if it has all the pictures stuck into one file.[/QB]
I think what he meant was, as I said before:
Save the file as a MEG. :P

Or I could be completely wrong. :)

Where should I start designing? in Blades of Exile

First, think out the plot a little. Get an idea of what you want to do. Make sure you give all your characters good motivation for what they're doing (Insanity and "pure evil" are bad excuses for a villian. Give them a better motivation.) and make sure you know how it will end, and some big points that will get it there. From there, it's up to you what order to do things in. You'll find the way you like best eventually.
I know the editor pretty well, and I know most of the major bugs. If you need help, feel free to contact me. My AIM address is Zeeqon5. Other people you might you might want to ask for help from:
AnamaFreak (Drakefyre)
Barcoorah (The Creator)
SeekerBB (Brett)
TerrorsMartyr (TerrorsMartyr)
There's other helpful members here who are good with the BoE editor, but I'm too tired to think of any more.
Oh, and one more thing: Don't talk about your scenarios before you finish them. You can ask for help programmingthings, but no more. Otherwise, you probably won't finish. Take Drakey's scenario, Rhapsody in Blue, for example.
(HURRY UP AND FINISH, DRAKEY! It better be good, since we had to wait so long!)
Anyway, good luck!

Actually, we probably do have to. Jeff said 2/3 of the testers will test the scenarios, and only 1/3 will test the editro. He might have changed his mind, though. I miss a lot of things that everyone else seems to know.
Yes, it's already been said we'll be able to set holidays. As for speeding up the rotation of the planet, that seems unlikely. But who knows?

Oh, not another one...
Goblin scenarios are done way too much. If you can do it well or add a unique twist to it, I like to play goblin dungeons and scenarios. But if it's just another boring "OH NO IT IS THE EVIL GOBLINS THEY ARE KILLING US KILL THEM" scenario, I wouldn't waste my time. A Road To Darkness by Aruneko is okay in my opinion (I like the sign on the goblin hut and the trash men, although it's a bit of a Monty Haul scen, unless he fixed it), and Deadly Goblins by The Creator is good for a goblin scenario, from what I've heard. Honestly, I would suggest trying something else. You could always just put a good goblin dungeon in for a side quest in a bigger scenario. Just make it worthwhile.
Anyway, yes, I do remember someone saying that Jeff said Marksmanship will be included.
Drakey, didn't you say it was going to be some sort of curse spell, not a disease spell?
