This is the second time you've stated that you're going for effect with your screenshots. I can't speak for anyone else here, but I would really rather see a plain, honest portrayal of the scenario than a misleading impression of it.

Wave after wave of guards is dull. Disparate groups of creatures, make no sense to me. If you want to provide a challenge, do something creative with scripting.

Don't use mind-controlled monsters that traditionally appear deep underground when you are presenting a scenario that takes place on a surface island. (Please.)

No force that has the capacity to mind-control monsters is going to waste the economic resources to build that crap.

I realize it is neat and exciting to use beams. But don't. Beams for the sake of beams are dumb.

After surfing your site some more, I'd also like to point out that almost all (if not all) of the graphics you are hosting are edits of Spidweb graphics. Yet you make no mention of Spidweb and ask that credit be given to yourself.

Then it's a good thing that dungeon isn't combat-oriented. Sure, there's a few fights. But do you honestly think that an enemy isn't going to place a few guards near the heart of it's complex?

Originally written by Ephesos:
But I see gorgons, undead, and spiders. Those are unrelated, more or less. They shouldn't be in the same section of the dungeon, at the very least.

Just to expand, the "one wrong step could result in a painful death" sounds a little too unforgiving and unfun.

Originally written by Nioca:
That is actually somewhat exaggerated. You can make mistakes in that puzzle, but you're definitely going to pay for them. It's just that "one wrong step could result in a painful death" sounds far better than "two or three wrong steps could result in a painful death". And if I truly wanted to make it difficult, I could force the entire party to try to get through the beams. Getting through there just takes observation and timing. Though extra AP can help.

That screenshot is terror incarnate, in the sense that it makes me fear for my sanity. I wouldn't want to take a single step into that dungeon if my party's lives depended on it.

Oh, and that first screenshot? That huge tower is going to keep the party from seeing itself if it walks behind it. Thought you should know.

as Thuryl more or less once said, "the BoA community generally takes poorly to weird **** for the sake of weird ****" in reference to unrelated monsters being in the same place.

now that those screenshots have been brought up I want to say that the third screenshot displays an area sort of like Rentar's fortress in Undead Valley.

Originally written by Ephesos:

Right, Nioca... you've missed my point. Half of this list is just "stupid things that people should've never put into scenarios in the first place". And I do mean people should break rules... if it weren't for rule-breaking, there's no way we would've had Mad Ambition work like it did (after all, shouldn't "Don't let split-up parties leave town" have been a "rule"?). We'd lose a lot of quality work if everyone played by these idiotic things you call rules.

They're just freakin' guidelines, so stop being so full of yourself. I'll respect this kind of stuff once you've released something.

Breaking convention is not the same as poor design. So stop treating it like that.

So, in other words, you're advocating the Undead Run Trilogy, scenarii with tons of superpowered items, three-part dungeons full of lengthy discussions, no new wands or classes of items, the party is required to do idiotic things to advance, terrible spelling and grammar, spots where all the party's equipment is destroyed, Rentar-Ihrno as the main villian, and a prostitute?

Why not? This can be a really good idea in some situations.

Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar:

Where is the logic in trying to spread chaos? The Takers are cold blooded murderers that would genocide humanity if they had the chance. They claim to support freedom and equality, but the serviles are as much servants under the them as they are under shapers. It's more like only a child could see its validity. Which makes sense since serviles have child-brains and drakons are insane.
