A resort for retired goldhunters

[Freddy]

I think ... ;D it is best NOT to quote anybody.

MAJOR fork! There are mansions like the 8 x 3 original ones: Falcon Manor Easy to Spider Palace Hard. These mansions contain the features like they were supposed by Vern Jensen, creator of our marvellous game. And then the custom mansions came, made in the same line of those originals.

But after a few months, designers got aware of other possibilities with the

builder

and start looking for the edges. Result: experiments like in the long forgotten WiPs. Some of them were awful, dangerous, stupid, ... BUT! Finally the best of the

wonders

became common knowledge and got accepted as reasonable by a lot of players and designers. E.g. ladder jumps, the use of BBB-hints, looking at maps, ... The last two of them seems so obvious, but I know from myself ... :

I remember that picture from Small Palace of Gore. Of course I do! I did the beta-testing and I AGREED with aquaMat that it was okay, because at that roomlink-jump, every player has seen the room before. In a hard or very hard mansion, I think, that one doesn't need to discuss that. But on the other hand, while beta-testing, I never ask anybody to

remove

stuff. I only do suggestions, because the designer always must have the LAST WORD. Except in Catacombs, which is a completely different story.
