A quick look at the 93 page user manual and distinctly unfriendly interface have caused to come to the conclusion I will never make a BoA scenario. While BoE can be complex, it is, at least, a heck of a lot easier to use.

My questions: Is BoE dead? If I were to make a small, first-efforts BoE scenario would it be ignored or could I have a reasonable hope of having people play it?

No and yes, in that order.

Since BoA's release, more BoE scenarios have been made than BoA ones. We're plenty alive. So go for it.

I was making one, but kinda stopped when BOA came out. I think I might get back at it though, so I can finally release one to the public.

But when you consider that OaStA was Alcritas' debut...

And then AtG was Stareye's...

Um. Never mind.

Actually, mine was Spy's Quest which was pretty bad.

Also, Mewse, could you please change your sig to something more appropriate? Thanks.

I knew that! It's still massive, so my point still doesn't work.

Sig changed. Sorry.

Eh, I always have a BoE scenario in progress. I just don't work on it very often. And then when I do start working on in on a somewhat regular basis, I lose interest in the scenario and start a new one. So I never get one fininshed.

I persinally have several irons in the fire at the moment so I can quite agree that this medium is still alive and kicking. There just isn't as much talking going on in these forums for it as the other one.

Yea, we're either too busy playing a scenario or too busy building a new one. Personally, even if I don't post, I still check the boards at least twice a day.

Yeah, I'm here at least once a day not considering special circumstances, as the case was the last two days. Who savored my absence? ;)

Of course Blades is still alive! Notice how I couldn't keep away?

I'm making a scenario, though it's progressing slowly.
BotS, were you making a scenario about being thieves? If you were, tell me, because that's what mine is about, and if it's going to be too similar to yours, I'll just play scenarios instead until I come up with a new idea.

I'd love to see a thieves scenario. Even if BotS is making a thieves scenario, you should to one too, just so we all can enjoy both.
