Just some emerging thoughts on places/situations/characters it'd be fun to encounter in future scenarios... maybe I'll use some myself someday if I ever get off my bum and make one... - an ancient, huge, benevolent Slith lord of a human village... ...a vahnatai/human missing link, as in a fossil or mummified corpse... ...or maybe a surface-dwelling (nocturnal) vahnatai offshoot... ...a huge mining/smithing town: ore, forges, lava, makeshift refineries everywhere... ...a peaceful society of intelligent golems... ...etc. ... -------------------- "'I saw the duckling hatch and disappear.

My idea im working on is a machine cave, which the party goes into. It leads to a portal, which is the gateway to Paralell Universes. Being the party you are, you get involved in those world's affairs. They have slight changes to the history. One, the only one I have now, is a world in which the Vhanitis thingys were never discovered, because the empire decieded agenst stealing the crystal souls. What do you think?

That sounds like it would make for some cool possibilities... like maybe another world where the Empire is a bunch of Nephils and humans are barbarian outcasts. -------------------- "'I saw the duckling hatch and disappear.

An island where there's a war between the GIFTS and the giant bad spiders(can't remember their name, but they're the enemies of the GIFTS. "Areana" or something like tha, I think. They're the ones that cast spells at you). And you have to decide whether you help giant bad spiders(who offer you access to all sorts of magic and artifacts, etc.) or the GIFTS(who offer you a lot of bugs, and other misc. items that they've collected but have no use for(i.e. A whole lot of junk, with a few handfuls of rubies and emeralds and some magic jewelery, maybe a few good weapons, and a bunch of coins) (I have absolutely zero talent with the editor, and I can't do scripting, so if anyone wants to make this scenario, be my guest.)

It's an entire town based on smithing and mining. Exile is, in my opinion, one of the best games from the 90's. I started playing Exile when there was no Exile II. Not even kidding. I am so old.

Nah, you're still a n00b. You have a lower member number than me :P This post is spam. I was hoping for something to make it less so, but honestly, I have nothing to contribute. Well, except that I thought that Formello (and the nearby Fort, um, Draco, I think) were pretty cool, so mining is, um, good. Nope, still spam. Oh well. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls! Ephesos: In conclusion, yarr.

Can't quite say I played Spidweb games back that far, Irishman - I first heard of them when Exile II was hot off Jeff's computer, though. I didn't really like Spidweb much until I played BoE several years later, though... Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

You should have the surface ruled by the Nephils, and the Underworld ruled by the Sliths, and Humans and Vahnatai, and any other races, are extinct.

Archimage is only better than archmagi if you are intending to be an image (ie, a picture). If you are intending to be a mage (ie, a magic-user), then archmage would be much better. Or archmagus, if your really wanted to be arcane. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

OOOH! Here's a question: Is anyone ever going to make any of these Scenarios? I have absolutely zero talent with the editor, but I've got all sorts of ideas for scenarios. It's really frustrating. Another scenario idea -- somewhere in Avernum, a demonic princess(visualization: think of a Hordling, only it's a bright blue instead of a bright red, and it has a lot more HP, and can cast Smite, Healing, and Devine Host, and is immune to ice attacks) has lost her precious pet Ice Pudding, and, because she has her parents(Who are very powerful Demons) around her little finger, hordes of demonic creatures are now rampaging through the land, destroying everything in their path in search of it. Of course, Avernum has no idea why the demons are attacking, just that they are attacking. You have been hired to kill the demon princess and her parents, as well as wipe out as many demons as you can along the way. But when you get to the castle, the demon king explians to you that the princess's pet Ice Pudding (who I shall call "Fluffy" from now on, because I don't want to type "Ice Pudding" over and over again) has gone missing, and that the attacks will stop only if Fluffy is returned, and lets you go talk to the princess so that she can give you all the details, and a Special Item so that you can safely handle Fluffy. As a reward for finding Fluffy, the princess will give you some powerful magical artifact or something like that, and stop the invasion. But if you rescue Fluffy, then when you return to whatever Fort or city or whatever, the person who gave you the quest to get rid of the demons turns out to be racist against them or someting, and refuses to reward you, even though the attacks stopped.(so, the choice is: a really hard battle with a large cash reward(killing the demons), or a seires of smaller battles and a powerful piece of magical equipment(finding Fluffy) [ Monday, July 12, 2004 13:52: Message edited by: Pig Catapult ] -------------------- Soy sauce makes everything better.

:D sounds great. And where would Fluffy be? Maybe in a factory where they melt ice-puddings, draketeeth, herbs and other stuff into medicine. There would be ice-pudding hunters who store them somewhere, before they bring them to the factory. Fluffy could be everywhere. Because puddings don't talk and look all the same you would bring several times the wrong pet to the princess. You had to steal or to buy them (to a higher price than the factory would pay). And you had to hurry up, because once Fluffy arrives in the factory, it will be manufactured soon, snif. If only I could use the editor :rolleyes: -------------------- Slartucker: * facepalm facepalm facepalm * Dikiyoba: Are you unconscious yet?

Edit: *gets idea* And the guy that hires you to kill the demons could be behind the manufacturing of the Ice Pudding Potions and stuff! Edit 2: But what would the potions do? *ponders* Temporary fire immunity, perhaps? Or a handful of Skill Points? Or maybe: Ice Pudding Potion -1 Skill Point +2 to Resistance And Draketooth Potion -1 Magical Efficiency +2 Magery And Ice Pudding Elixir -2 Skill Points +5 Resistance And Draketooth Elixir -2 Magical Efficiency +5 Magery And then they sell the normal Potions and Elixirs made from herbs, too.

Formello's not a mining town as far as I know. It has lots of farmland, not mines. The mines are all around Fort Draco. —Alorael, who thinks the Ice Pudding has some potential if the details are filled in. Focusing on reward before scenario is a bad thing, though, especially if you're not writing the scenario. Specific plots are not often picked up by itinerant scenario designers, either.

"Scary Movie" type scenarios just haven't worked much before, and (believe me, I tried to make one or two myself) it's going to be hard to be motivated to finish w/no real plot or story. But go for it, we've had one or two make it (see Farmhands!!!) and give us many many laughs. -------------------- "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others? In Nature's family all are brothers.
