TYVM Crane. I implemented several of your suggestions...most of them...into TGa/tO. I'm most proud of the new enemy group/faction I implemented. Question: Do I have to use html to change font colors? ~Paws

The exciting sequel to my series "The Grave and the Old" has begun, and the first part is now published. Lojac's Brain picks up the story and expands on my world building efforts. Its still being tweaked and that's where you come in. Please provide technical and constructive criticism for mechanics and story as you see fit. I'd love to know how you think this product is developing. Its story based fun, that I hope also provides a challenging tactical experience, and chock full of Easter eggs, drama, comedy, horror, and weird science. "The Grave and the Old" and 'Lojac's Brain" contain lots of custom characters, original (I hope) themes, and there is an SG available to join that these missions are based on. These missions afford opportunities for RP aplenty, but isn't essential to its playability. Its not a farm. Give it a try for Lojac. He's counting on you. ~Paws

With many thanks to @cranebump and others, I have completely overhauled this 4 mission series, both mechanically and story content. Once again, I ask that my fellow players give this a try and I hope it brings you joy. Please feel free to give feedback on the mission either in AE or here. For a bit of understanding this arc...It is not strictly canonical. Yes, its based in this wonderful game and makes potential use of the heroes, villains, and places we all love. However, I'm doing a bit of world building by using my own characters, groups, and themes. Most of the characters are custom, and the SG's used are those I have actually made in-game. "The Trust Fund" is the base I entered for the SG base contest recently. To whit: If you see a term or element that isn't fully explained, its on purpose for expansion in future arcs I intend to write. Or foreshadowing for a sequel. Enough of me. I present to you "The Grave and the Old." I hope you like it. ~Paws

Mission one is revamped and published. Moving towards mission two tomorrow.

I've taken all the suggestions here and printed them off, highlighting areas of opportunity, and condensing the material into actionable prompts. I'll be implementing changes in the week or so to come, and I am grateful for the time put into coaching me on this. Hopefully I will have a more refined product up sometime this weekend or the next. Thank everyone again who took a look at my creation. ~Paws

Thank you very much, and I look forward to your feedback.

@cranebump & @Zhym... Thank both of you SO much for all the detailed feedback and support. I will definitely be retooling and revisiting the areas you detailed. Part of my problem I think, is I wrote all this in basically one take without stopping to consider other drafts. I got excited with a new toy, and took of full bore before I was in the saddle. I will tug on the reins before I hit publish and move on in the future. Also, for a first ever attempt, I think I should have stuck to making one really good mission and wrote other chapters AFTER great feedback such as this. I'll pay that mind in missions to come. Again...thank you both for the help. That was a lot of feedback made available for a newbie mission designer and that generosity is not lost on me. I'll make a comment here when changes are made.

Thank you very much for the advice, and for giving it a try soon. Paws

Hi Everyone, I've made my first set of AE missions. Its a story arc set in a sci fi/Horror setting. Its not terribly elaborate, and not intended for farming in the way most people think. It's a 4 part story arc that relies on story and atmosphere for enjoyment rather than xp or INF. I would really appreciate some folks checking it out and giving me some honest, BUT NOT MEAN, feedback. Please give ratings at the end of the mish, and feedback here if you like. Its called "The Grave and the Old". I hope you like it. ~Paws

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners. Also, gratz to the judges for the effort put into making this happen for us. Their hard work makes us all winners every day!

The screenshots posted give information important to understand the RP aspects/backstory of the base and its characters. Judges, please pay particular attention to the information given and keep it in mind when touring the base. Hint: Only two can keep a secret...
