[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 5238994, member: 36150"] If you're old enough, perhaps you remember the really old-school text adventures, or possibly MUDs. Remember how those games went? GO NORTH, USE KEY, HACK WIZARD (that last one took me a year to figure out in one game I used to own)? You are standing in what appears to be a dressing room. A full-length mirror covers one wall, upon which hangs a small heart-shaped pendant. The dresser is covered in small phials of liquid, some glass, others wood. A bronze chest sits by the foot of the four-poster bed. For each noun, try to come up with one adjective. And for each item, try to come up with a short description, too. I used this format for one of my own homemade adventures (The Mansion of Mystery, oooo!) back when I was in high school. LOOK CHEST -> This bronze chest with red velvet inlay is 2' x 2' x 3' and bears an iron lock. LOOK PENDANT -> This heart-shaped pendant has a rose-colored stone embedded on its front. It is actually a locket; opening it reveals an illusory picture of a robed man, likely an academic. LOOK MAN -> The man appears in his late 40's; his black hair is streaked with gray. His blue robes and crest suggest that he is a court wizard. LOOK CREST -> and so on. [/QUOTE]
