The Perfect Series

[Malefact]

I think a perfect series would have all the colour, puzzles and tension of series 3, plus a series 4-style final conflict and a series 5-style life force emergency when redeeming the quest object. What do you lot think?

...and Lord Fear  

[Malefact]

Well, of course! That goes without saying. But since we're saying it, it must have Treguard, Lord Fear, Motley and Sylvester Hands and Hordriss at least. I think it would also be a good idea to have Mogdred (or at least a Mogdred-style baddie) as well. Lord Fear only confronts dungeoneers at the very end. Mogdred can confront them anywhere which is very unnerving!

[Malefact]

Thinking about it some more, I think each of the three levels should be a challenge in themselves in that:

Level 1 should be a collection/miscellany of rooms and puzzles a la series 1/2/3 - like a sort of 'training' level.

Level 2 should have puzzles but should present the team with a more consistent threat - something that follows them from room to room. Like, for example, a labyrinthe haunted by an evil magician. It could culminate in a series 4-style final encounter where the dungeoneer only survives if, say, they recover all the letters of a spell (placed in hard-to-reach spots in rooms with obstacles, which they must take before the magician catches them up).

Level 3 should have lots of very difficult puzzles, a final encounter with Lord Fear and a life force emergency.

Above all, the perfect series should have the feeling of grand scale that series 3 and 4 had - a kind of empty or deserted feeling but with the faint feeling that something's there. Just like a real dungeon.

Oh, and it must have a life force clock face!

OK, I'm done.  ;)

Oh, you should just know there's going to be a very very very very long post from me on this thread sooner or later. Have you no sympathy for people's eyes, Malefact?

[Malefact]

Hehe! Bring it on!!!  ;D

[GranitArse2003]

I disagree Malefact if that is your real name, knighmare must not see another series. MOOHAHAHA

[Malefact]

Not again. I really don't deserve this.

[GranitArse2003]

Dont dispare Malefact I was just pulling your leg, but on a more serious note.  When you listted the characters they should have in a newer series "it must have Treguard, Lord Fear, Motley and Sylvester Hands and Hordriss" I was shocked to see that you missed out Lilth and granitarse.  Although I think that it would be best if they missed out the jester, dont you.

[Malefact]

No! It must have a jester! It wouldn't be the same without one.

btw, I love your nickname - apart from the _ bit.  ;)

[lewis_martin]

I don't get it. Are you two the same person?

[GranitArse2003]

Yes its true Malefact and Malefact_ are one and the same. Though my diffinative name is Lewis Andrews.

[lewis_martin]

Then why do you need two accounts. Can you not make your point with just one?

[GranitArse2003]

Im doing a crafty ploi to increase my acount to a knight, but i cannot tell you how.  It will ruin the suprise.

[lewis_martin]

a Knight?
