Absolutely. The map I'm working on sort of ended up with "zones," groups of related rooms, which I like. But now I need to give incentive to explore and make different zones related to each other. Also trying to follow the maxim of putting something interesting in every room, even if it's "empty."
One theme I find helpful is "jealous neighbors." Monsters tend to want things their neighbors have. The grass is greener, you know. If you have factions scheming to rob or displace or enslave each other, then you have PCs roll in and make friends and enemies, that motivates a lot of activity.
Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.
Rating the Marvel villains so far on a scale from Excelsior (good), to No-Prize (could be explained that they’re either good or bad), to Bullpen Floor (bad): Iron Monger: Excelsior Abomination: No-Prize Loki: Excelsior Red Skull: Excelsior Whiplash: Bullpen Floor Justin Hammer: Excelsior Loki again: Excelsior Mandarin: Excelsior Dark Elf what’s-his-name: Bullpen floor Hydra Conspiracy: Excelsior Ronan: Bullpen Floor Nebula: Excelsior Ultron: No-Prize Did I miss anyone?
