dram Apprentice Member # 4173	written Wednesday, June 23 2004 14:53 Profile #0 I just decided that I want to make a scenario, and i pretty much have the plot written down. How long does it take to make a scenario? It seems really tough. Im probably a complete fool, but when you type in the W and the H for the outdoors (upon creating a new scenaro) what numbers are you supposed to put in so that you get a fairly medium to large outdoor game? It always get an error if i put in anything larger than 9 by 9. and..9 by 9 is very small. Posts: 43 | Registered: Monday, March 29 2004 08:00

For a medium to large-sized scenario, expect to be working on it at least an hour a day for a few months. The numbers you put in for the outdoor dimensions are the number of outdoor SECTIONS, not spaces. An outdoor section is pretty big; err on the side of a smaller outdoors rather than a larger one. A 2x2 outdoors is probably more than enough for a small to medium-sized scenario, as long as you make it compact. Even a largish scenario shouldn't need much more than 5x5, and you probably won't end up using all of that. You can always make a large outdoors and wall the bits you don't use off with mountains, of course.

I played the scenario and my party could only wander around on a pretty small block of land. I didn't even take up more than one screen on the automap. on the edges there were just these walls ....
