Frostbite is now released to the public (Thanks to Ephesos for the CMG.)

Thanks to all the testers and graphic artists who made this scenario possible. Without further ado, here you have it.

Edit: Mac version is now ready to go.

It isn't downloading for me. It goes to a "PAGE NOT FOUND." I blame AOL.

AOL is blameless. Also us citizens of the free east are unable to download it. I blame yahoo.

Both the Mac and Windows version are up at the Shadow Vale database. Also, I have now uploaded Amnesia, the newest scenario by Michael Slack.

Downloading Frostbite now. As for Amnesia... I'll hold off on that for a while. Specifically, until someone else plays it.

That said, I think the Database should really have the content ratings of these scenarios.

I tried to think of something witty to put here.

Needless to say, I failed.

Y'all are a bunch of alarmists. Amnesia was a quick romp. I wish Mike had done some more character development, but it really was decent. My 25th level singleton gained 2 levels, after not leveling at all in Nikki-beta. Hmmm.

I just discovered how I'm listed in the Frostbite readme. Mmmmmmmm, Alchemy Equipment, indeed. It was delicious.

I'm playing Frostbite right now, though I think I have the wrong kind of singleton. He's mainly a spell caster. Still I'm looking forward to how Lazarus will kill each and everyone of the members of the expedition. Although, if it turns out that most of them survive then that's just sad.

As for Amnesia: If the story goes somewhere from the premise then it might be Slack's best work, which isn't saying much. Of course there's always the problem with Slack's dialog. Ugh!

Edit: Disregard. Everything runs smoothly with compatibility mode.

Excellent start, though I'm having a bit of trouble getting by the wolves with this pre-fab singleton.

I probably shouldn't be playing this scenario. I like to horde nondurable items until a time when I absolutely need them... which never happens.

You need to try to conserve your herbs, but getting the stuffing kicked out of you and having to use boat loads of holly to heal isn't going to get you anywhere either. You need to find a happy medium between being wasteful, and using so little that you lose lots of HP (or die)

Don't worry, it only gets harder. :P

I already had to turn the difficulty down to normal, which I've never had to do before. If this gets any harder I'm going to sled down the mountain on Aisley's useless body.

The Nikki-beta is specifically not supposed to level up character!

I shall play FB tonight, and steal the good bits to tuck into TV :P

The "Shadow Vale database" link is annoying.
It doesn't say the general level area to go through in.

If I don't know that, I can't download it because it probably will not be the right level area for my group.

Edit -I meant the scenarios in the link.

It's a simple database. I'm not going to go in-depth about each scenario. Anyway, recommended levels are shown in the scenario selection screen in BoA itself, and you can use the High Level Party Maker to create a party of any level.

I meant that I want to know the level area before I download it.

Otherwise I have wasted times and PC space.

Okay, I can see why you'd be worried about time if you're on dial-up... but each scenario is like 4 megabytes, tops. It's not that much space.

Well it would still be a wasted effort.
I haven't been able to get a new scenario because there aren't any ones I should play in the section at the Spiderweb website.

And the ones at Shadow Vale don't say what levels are for the scenarios. And I need to know.

(the last scenario I played was Undead Valley which was terrible)

There is no level requirement, and there is no group. Frostbite uses a prefab singleton.

Even if level were a problem (which it isn't for FB) you just leave the scenario in your folder until you are the correct level. They're like 1 meg files, how crunched can you possibly be for disk space?
