Intresting, I thought you were gonna turn the episodes you've allready written into a series of its own.  It was probably tough for you to come up with these artifacts (I recognize many figures on the list as subjects of legends in The Rediscovery,) but I can't wait to read some of these.

Hope the episodes are good, as DrThinker wished for me.

EDIT: Post #1400.

LAYOUT 1:

The Crypt: Same as season 2-3.
The Intersection of Tunnels: Coming from each end are 5 tunnels. They connect, intersect, whatever. Choose your own path to get to a door.
The Physician's Lair: Calibrate the scale to the right mark & a door might open.
The Room of the Mandarin Hand: Same as season 2.
The Room of the Ancient Warriors: Same as season 3, but there is a small trapdoor leading down.
The Shrine of the Silver Monkey: Same as seasons 1-3.
The Viper's Next: Same as season 2.
The Mountaineer's Den: Repel down the rock wall (or climb up it in some cases). There is the usual ladder up to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, and the rock wall to be plowed through.
The Tomb of the Ancient Kings: Same as season 1, but the Temple Guards hide in the coffin where the key might be.
The Arachnid's Territory: Spin the right spider around the giant web, & a door might open.
The Laser Light Room: Same as season 2.
The Reef: The Ledges painted blue & green, making it seem like an underwater territory.

Oh, I didn't even notice that. I just grabbed my World Civ book & found people XD.

About putting in my first 13 (working on 14) episodes, the problem is the layouts. Having 12 episodes in one layout, then having 2 in another, unless I make new episodes for the second layout. I'll probably throw those in for season 2.

(Also, I personally can't wait to write the Bottled Poison of Anne Boelyn XD)


Congrats on 1400 posts as well, TAW!

You can use those legends, but I have another question.

Do you mind if I suggest you replace that "Road Rage Traffic" room with something a little more beleiveable? Maybe keep the Ladder of Doom, maybe?

[Olmec]

Yeah, I don't think Road Rage Traffic was ever used -_-

[The Ancient Warrior]

Not in Cupid's Love Quiver, anyway, which means it would have no impact in the outcome of the run.  And it just seems out of place as a room, that's all I'm saying really.

Yeah, it wasn't going to be used in the next episode (The Snake-Tail of Cerberus) either, I believe.

[Olmec]

Do you have any comments on the layouts for season 1? I kinda need feedback on them.

[The Ancient Warrior]

Maybe leave the Room of the Mandarin Hand rather than replace it by the Time Machine? The Time Machine seems a little out-of-place.

Other than that, I think it's all right (except it's hard to imagine a Tomb Temple Guard standing in the room that long, until the objective is complete? think The Keys to the Alhambra.  Does he lay back down in the sarcophagus until the player leaves the room?)

Yeah, The Time Machine I knew was like a "Road Rage Traffic" room, I'll probably just keep the Room of the Mandarin Hand, or maybe switch it out for an easier Chamber of the Sacred Markers. And for your question about the Tomb Temple Guard, they would go through one of the golden doors (that the player can't get into, since it leads backstage)

[DrThinker]

I wish you luck with your writtings!

[The Ancient Warrior]

Oh, also, if it would've been attempted by the real show, I think the ratings board would've had problems with The Blood-Stained Sword of Marc Antony.  1. It's a weapon on a kids' show, and 2. it's stained with blood.  Perhaps the Broken Sword of Marc Antony? IMHO you can probably use a sword as an artifact as long as the business end is dulled somewho.

Christopher Columbus & the Santa Maria

Oh, don't tell me the artifact's gonna be "The Crow's Nest of the Santa Maria!" Could it be another small part of the ship instead if that was your plan?
