As I mentioned, that would seem like a good idea. Some other random ideas: - Give all character 5 or so food to start out with so they will have a while before they need to get some more. - Maybe give them so low power (like 10 hp) healing potions - Looking at the 2 beginner maps, they don't go over some of the more basic points of the game, as mention in the tracker item: - nothing about eating food (and the fact that monster remains can typically be eaten also - Nothing at all about using shops. A very small shop, with perhaps a basic detect curse/detect magic/identify altar on the map, with some cursed/magic items on that map for them to use/try out (maybe make those altars very cheap, but make this map a 1 way journey - once you exit, you can't get back) - Maybe some mention about chat/shout and the etiquette on using the - Not sure if explicitly mentioned in any of the maps, but the fact that just standing around will regain hp/sp It seems the beginner maps otherwise cover basic of attack, traps, spells, so those points are covered. _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
