My current plans for my DMOD
I have returned from my Xmas break (not that I went on holiday, its just that Ive been rather sick for the last few month,s so I gave myself a period of rest), and back to my DMOD. I have nevertheless being busy planning my DMOD, and reconsidering a few of my pre-break decisions. In another two days (after I finish designing a fantasy city for my friend) I will be back at my DMOD again, slogging away.
I was thinking I might run a few things about my DMOD past you folks, after all you know what makes a good DMOD, most of you have played alot of them. Your suggestions etc would be appreciated, and who knows, you might get to improve my DMOD..which is good for everyone really, after all, eventually you will be playing it yourselves (in six months time or there abouts).
Here are are some things I would appreciate constructive comments on:
**** I have changed the name of the DMOD to Lands of Chaos. The old name was The Scroll of Chaos, but I realised that there will most likely never be such a scroll in the DMOD, and really, I dont want to force it in just so the name is accurate. Bear in mind, Lands of Chaos is another working title. Do you have anything similar you might suggest?
&&&& I have set things up so at the start you get a choice of one of three weapons for Dink to start the game with. A lightning sword, an axe and a bow. The lightning sword is of course bascially just the normal sword with elemental graphics in place of the normal attack sequences, and the swords stats changed just abit.
Keep in mind that my Dink has better starting stats than in most DMODs, so I have of course been forced to make the monsters abit harder. The axe and bow are also edited to be roughly as powerful as the sword, the axe is slower and does less damage, the bow is faster and all that. I have not quite perfected getting the balance right as of yet, but I am nearly done, I just need to balance a few script values.
It is a similar thing with the spells, Dink choooses one of three spells to choose from, including a faster, but less damaging version of the fireball. The other two spells are edited versions of other spells, and will be about as powerful as the altered fireball of course
##### I have given Dink a girlfriend...I know, Dink does not deserve one, even my seemingly more respectable Dink, but he does have one. Dont worry, he gets no sex from her, she rather prefers board games, much to Dinks frustrations.
@@@@ My Dink is more successful than you might expect, he is a stonemason and has a large house and even staff (which he mistreats horribly of course), as part of a huge inheritance from his parents, which he is squandering though, and later it will be revealed things are not as they first appear...
$$$$ Actually that will do for now, I dont want to ramble on for too long....Ill sign off for now folks
PS Dont eat hamsters - you might get rabies.

Sounds good. The girlfriend who prefers playing Scrabble to doing "it" with Dink could turn out to be a very funny character indeed, if done well.
The bow is an odd weapon though, which is why people VERY rarely use it. But, if you think it will fit the d-mod, go for it!
As for the title, I couldn't suggest anything different without knowing the plot, so stick with what you like. Good luck!

Cheers Sabre, thanks for your feedback. lol..its chess she prefers at the moment, but it will be something else more humourous soon enough.
I grant you, I would wager the bow would not be a weapon many would choose, for even after my changes to it, it will still be a slow weapon of course, albiet a more damaging one. Im picking the axe to be a popular weapon.
Still no better names yet of course...oh well I will think of something. Umm....i probably should have made this a modification to the first post, sorry folks...

Hey, you replied to a new post, so there is no reason for you to simply edit your old one. 
And I'm sure chess could turn out pretty funny. Anything could, depending on how you used it.

Well I live with him and he tells me everything he does (and vice versa) and I can tell you that the way he implements it is indeed [i]very[i] funny.
NEW: Okay, I know I used the correct html command brackets for those when I was typing this message, yet different ones appeared. It happened with an earlier post of mine as well. Anyone know why it looks different when I posted it and why it didn't work?
<This is a test to see if it happens again.>
NEW: Okay it worked then. It seems it doesn't work for html commands only.

Oh, part two of my plans for my DMOD are upcoming soon, maybe I can make it longer still. And more popular than your post on your DMOD Draconic? lol...i dont know.
I know DraconicDink is a mate of mine and all, however I will admit that he goes too far in defending himself, in my opinion, he needs to let some things go...Ive tried telling him this, but he does not agree.
I think youve come to handle him diplomatically Sabre, or about as much so as one would expect.
Nah, its OK DragonDink, I and maybe some others know you mean well, and that you are not as harsh as you seem.
And folks, his DMOD is seeming OK so far, I think it might show some promise once he gets abit more done.

I was a lot worse than Draconic when I first joined! At least he hasn't flamed Redink yet. 
ALOT worse....lol...please I dont want to know exactly how bad that must have been, no offense meant Sabre. Are you trying to imply YOU flamed Redink at once stage? I hope not... 
Well, he flamed me first (I think). A very large error in communication led to it, when I declared a few Dinkers my mortal enemies.
Ah, the good old days.
Ah, the good old days.
I still remember those days Sabre
Well, if I don't defend myself then I am letting people walk all over me and I just can't do that...
Besides, Sabre, I already said I was sorry and that I didn't mean it the way it came out. I never meant to hurt or offend anyone. Far from it. Perhaps I should of worded things better in the first place.

Draconic : Do you want me to keep flaming you? Because even in a thread which has nothing to do with me or you arguing, you still manage to start mewling like a small kitten; "I said I'm sorry Sabre, blah blah blah" and bring the whole dang thing up again.
Just drop it, will you?
Just drop it, will you?
