Thanks for downloading "Falling Stars"!
|
|
|
|
If you have any comments, concerns, questions, or complaints,
|
|
please feel free to email me at: alcritas@att.net. Or post
|

Updates and further information about Falling Stars may be found

Included in with this file, you should have found falling.exs (the
|
|
scenario), falling.bmp (graphics file for PCs), falling.gif, and
|
|
UGLI.gif. (Drizzt says that there's an error in the UGLI.gif. He's probably
|
|
right. But I'm really just not motivated enough to fix it. Consider it yet
|
|
another torture device inflicted upon you be the UGLI.)
|
|
If you are on a MAC, you will need to create a MEG file
|
|
to play the scenario. Inquiries/information can be made/found at
|
|
the above URLs.
|
|
|
|
This scenario is designed for high to very high level parties.
|
|
If you do not have such a party, take a beginner level party
|
|
into the scenario - there is a training dungeon at the beginning.
|
|
|
|
This scenario is a continuation of many of my previous works.
|
|
While not necessary to play this scenario, it is strongly suggested
|
|
that you play my prior works, especially "Redemption", "An Apology",
|
|
and "Lamentations" before beginning "Falling Stars". The party
|
|
you play is presumed to have completed "Lamentations".
|
|
|
|
PLEASE, PLEASE Ensure that the Graphics are working properly
|
|
before playing far into the scenario. If you see a portal
|
|
directly to your south upon beginning the scenario, the graphics
|
|
are working. If not, please contact me before going further.
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of known BOE bugs which may occur during
|
|
this scenario, to which there are no workarounds.
|
|
1- Empties, which look like Dwarves, may appear randomly. No one
|
|
knows for sure why the BOE editor places them in scenarios, but if
|
|
you see one, don't worry too much.
|
|
2- Scry Monster may produce the wrong graphic in the Scry Monster
|
|
table. This is due to BOE graphical limitations. All the monster
|
|
information, however, will be accurate.
|
|

Parts of Songs from Paul Simon and Tori Amos are

|
also quoted in the scenario.

Portions of the programming in this scenario were
|

|
|
Gonzales' "Doom Moon II", and Drizzt's article,
|
|
"How to Defeat Magic Map".
|
|
|
|
Members of the BOE community mentioned within the scenario should,
|
|
of course, take everything with good humour.
