I have it set up, I just need data. A DB dump from Alexandria would work.

Send me your e-mail address Andrea, and I'll dump what I have to this point. That way you can test it.

If things look good, we can decide on next steps.

I've reworked the list to make it easier to navigate. I've also included all the misc info I can find so it's easier for you to submit one to Alex.

Can I get any volunteers to take a scenario and play it? Again, keep track of #of towns/dungeons, #of outdoor sections, and how long it takes to play. Some scenarios still need a short Description too.

So what's the status on this? Did you get the DB dump I sent?

I have been told by some and shown by others' questions that few people really know what I'm doing with this post so I'm going to try to explain it better.

Ever since Brett opened Alexandria, he has asked for the community's help in 'submitting' scenarios and certain information about them to help make Alex a searchable database. If you haven't yet, please click on Alex's Submission Form to get a better idea of what it is to 'submit' a scenario to Alex.

The scenarios on the list are those which I have found to be missing from Alex's database and still need to be submitted. I have included with them all the information needed that can be found without actually playing the game. The information that is still needed is; # indoor sections, # outdoor sections, time it takes to play in days, and some still need a brief description. This information can only be found by playing the scenario so I'm asking the community for help.

If you would like to help this is what you do.
1. First voulnteer for a scenario in a reply to this post.
2. I will unbold the title of that scenario so that others know that it is being taken care of. There is no time limit, take as long as you need.
3. While you are playing the scenario, keep track of how many indoor sections there are (this includes every time you need to re-explore a town because of an event), how many outdoor sections there are, and how long it takes you to play it.
4. When you have finished playing the scenario post the information you have found with a brief description of the scenario and I will submit it at Alex. OR Submit the scenario yourself using the form linked to above and post that you have done it.
5. I will delete that scenario from the list.
6. Repeat as often as you like.

Thank you.

Just getting this on the front page again since I still need help.

The lost lost_king scenarios have been found! *crowd roars in anticipation* Now we can all revel in their horribleness.

Only six scenarios still missing.

I got 'em on my hard drive for now. You want me to e-mail them to you or post them at my website?

Put 'em on your site. It takes forever for me to download attachments sent by e-mail for me.

They're up. Click on any of the three titles to get to the download page. All three are in one zip, only 107KB.

ps. Enjoy... or, er... don't.

Alright. I played them and they are AWFUL!

But seriously, I still didn't think they were worse than War of Exile, though TGW comes pretty close. Maybe it's just that Homeland was plain pointless. And I prefer pointless stuff to 100% annoying stuff (like WoE.)

Now if the Lost King scenarios were all one big scenario, that would be a whole different story. . .

As a quick note: The download sites listed in the first post are all broken due to a comma attached at the end. It's not a big problem, but it's still annoying to have to correct the address when you try to download.

That said, over the next weekend I might try to godmod my way through some of those scenarios to count number of towns etc and other stuff Alex requires on the submission form. That's sort of the idea, right?

Yep, that's the idea. I know that the url's are a bit tricky, but when I tried to copy/paste them without the comma at the end, the board would automatically shorten the url and put periods (...) in the middle making it more difficult to copy into the Alexandra submission form. This way may be annoying but it keeps all the characters of the url showing for accuracy.

Sorry to butt in, I've also missed the pleasure in playing them - but I can't see any link on your site. Did I arrive too late? :)

It's there inside the Comprehensive BoE Walkthroughs. All three scenarios are listed in the database and all three will take you to the download page. Here's the direct link for the page though.

lost_king scenarios

Edit: Hey Bain, since you've played through them all can you tell me how many towns and outdoor sections they have. I had it on my list to do because there wasn't an easy way for others to get them till now... but since you've already played them you can tell me, right?

I haven't finished the Lost King scenarios due to their sheer awfulness, so I really can't help you. They don't have a password, though, so I may be able to look at it at a later time.
