Well here's the deal. I've already started on a Haunted Hosue map called House of Cryptic Horrors. I've restarted the whole map because of the weak story,badly placed terrain. I'll have about 5 units to choose from when you get to the armory, 3 floors, Basement, first floor, and second floor. Here was the origional story as taken from the briefing that I made:

You awaken in a torch lit room in a small wooden cot with only a splitting headache and a sore shoulder to greet you. As you clear your vision, you recognize the faint smell of something rotting in the distance. You don't remember much more than walking down that dark street then a sharp pain to your head, then.... You can't think straight. Your head is killing you. Still in your bed, you survey the near-empty room, and notice a peice of paper laying on the across the room. You strain to get out of bed, and ignoring the terrible pain in your shoulder, limp over to read the paper:

"Dear new subject,
Welcome to my home. This room will be you new home for the next
few days. The door is unlocked, but do not leave this room unless
summoned. Do not come of the room unless summoned. Do not call for
help. Cooperate and you may survive. Break any rule and be
exterminated.
J. Browning"

Who does this guy think he is? To hell with this, your getting out of here! You wonder if there are any other captives in this dark sactuary. At any rate, you figure you'd better find some firearms. Who knows whats beyond those doors... At that moment you look down and notice something crawling beneath the skin on your arm. You ignore it.

That's the intro of the old version. I won't say anymore, because I might incorperate some of the old ideas into the new version. What do you all think?

Hmm I'm good at terrain, lemme help ya out with the ideas and maybe good on making sounds

Are you good at it? Perhaps we can make a map a co-production...

Wow...a haunted house map with a briefing that uses proper, coherent English is a rare thing.

...

What am I saying? Any map that uses coherent English is a gem. Just FYI, if you're going host this to bnet almost nobody is going to read the briefing, but it sounds great. It has that Commodore 64 text-game feel to it I love that stuff.

Actually kinda sounds like Maniac Mansion. Now THOSE were the days. Actually that sounds like a great idea for a future map...

What was Maniac Mansion?

I always end up never realizing my grammor mistakes till long after it is done. No one bothers to tell me when it is important.

I think salacious pointed out a grammor error in house of the haunted's intro to me recently. I was like WTF the map has been done for a year and no one ever told me until now.

Ok... what was Maniac Mansion??? What was Commodore 64???? AHHH Was that on N64? Well I suppose.. I just played the Zelda games...

ANYWAY.... I'm kinda looking for neat ideas on puzzles.... I'll reward Karma (not sure if I can acually do that... can I?) and a place in the credits.

Commodore 64: Personal Gaming Computer from 80's. Had games like Castle Wolfenstien!
Maniac Mansion: Said to be one of the greatest games of all time, I got know clue what it is.
I'll be a tester, but I'm pretty awful at puzzles. You'll need somebody else for that. I'll see if I can get my friend Squall to help.

My freind made the best haunt mansion ever but i need to find it. anyway what you could do is be able to tear things appart and stuff as in like if theres a torch on the wall you can take it down and use it as a weapon. and tear titles off the floor mix weapons togother. and you can throw stuff.
