Looking for some help on a Discworld scenario...

[duke o' york]

That's fine. The ratings should stay as they are though - we wouldn't want to scare off ordinary civvers just on the lookout for a great scenario. Maybe you could explain the bananas, etc. somewhere in a text file, just so that people don't get too confused if (like me), they're unfamiliar with the Discworld. One of my friends offered to lend me his favourite novel a few weeks ago, but then left for San Francisco on holiday a fortnight ago. Lucky bugger.
Afriad that I didn't get any more played last night, but am happy with everything so far. I just want to get the portal closed to ensure that that works properly, and then maybe play a few turns with Uberwald, if no-one else has done this yet.

OK, thanks to all for the comments!

I just put the text as decribed above!

And I found a graphic for the Landing Tower (Airbase).

OK, here is how I see the scen development: next week I'll put in the last modifications (yeah, I know, I was supposed to do it this week...), following your comments/observations up to that point in time, and then we'll test it for 1 more week before (hopefully) releasing our work!

YOUR work!

For the replacments for puny, hopeless, mighty, etc.

Top Banana
Bananarific
Bananalicious
Banana
Ripe Banana
Bruised Banana
Banana-less

Something like that.

Someone should make a poll of this.

Maybe have bananas instead of just banana. Just because it means crazy...

What do you all think: should I leave the (actually useless IMO) original "historian" qualification (puny, hopeless and such) for clarity's sake, or use this bananalicious classification?

Just use the bananalicious one.

If the Discword historian you mentioned is obsessed with bananas, then yes - it'd fit in really well.

The Librarian of Unseen University was a human who got turned into an Orang-Utan by a weird magical effect! This might explain the "rubber ring", "highest tree" and so on allusions as well

He actually likes it, as having 4 long prehensile members is really practical to swing along the shelves, and resisted all attempts to turn him back into human form!

So, yes, I guess you can say he is a bit obsessed with bananas...

[yaroslav]

It's one of the funniest characters of all the book, second only to the luggage

[yaroslav]

BTW, I'm gonna play the scen this weekend... Do you want me to test a speficic civ?

However his conversation is somewhat limited.

No, play any civ you want! I'll probably try Ankh-Morpork myself!

BTW: I hope to send you the new (last?) version (correcting the few points mentionned in the posts above) before this week-end: I'll work on it Friday afternoon! So check your mail box before you start playing

Oh no, and after all the good work I've done to try to keep the conversation sensible, focused on the scenario, and away from silly Pratchett jokes (that I don't understand).

If anyone fancies giving Uberwald a try, I'm not sure if any of us have attempted them yet. I was going to have a go, but RL has intervened, and I don't know if I'll be able to play any civ at all until next week!

[yaroslav]

I'll play Uberwald
