Yeah... I wasn't as focused on Treasure vs Power glyph balance this time as I usually am (partially because the flags are kinda sorta treasure glyph-y, partially there's just not enough maps that encourage Treasure Glyphs in the world and I chose 20 maps -- another problem with that method).

Most of the maps I feel should keep the Power Glyphs when noted. Looking through them, the only two that I think would be solid with Treasure Glyphs instead of the listed power ones are It's a Tree and A Couple Puddles (the random glyphs -- keep Dagmar). Since both of those map makers are locals I'll just ask: @Sir Heroscape and @Leaf_It do you mind if we take some liberties with your maps this month for some glyph diversity?

Not sure I follow....but if you’re suggesting that some maps have Treasure Glyphs placed on the map instead of power Glyphs then I would be against that. Map builders are usually building maps with the effect power Glyphs will have on games and making them Treasure Glyphs will change how some maps are played. I say put Treasure Glyphs only on maps that have them specifically designed for them and the rest have the power Glyphs they were designed with.
@BiggaBullfrog , @Sir Heroscape , @Leaf_It
Ah, but that's the thing--VirtualScape does not include treasure glyphs--they were never added. There's a custom graphics "cheat" that will turn a symbol-side up glyph gold, but that's it, unless designers specifically mention it. Almost all maps say, "Two Random glyphs," which to me can include treasure glyphs. What say you, usual organizers?

In my experience the “2 random Glyphs” is really referring to power Glyphs. Mapmakers will usually signify a T-glyph nowadays with a Brandar power side up glyph on a map. Power Glyphs are an important part of map design and balance and wouldn’t want to so easily trade them out. That said, yes Bigga I’d be fine with my map (It’s a Tree) having T-Glyphs. It’s a simple map where specifically for that design power Glyphs were more an afterthought than a focus. But a lot of the maps in the pool have power Glyphs to help balance the design.

Forgot about the Brandar thing, it's been too long. I didn't remember that VS didn't even have treasure glyphs listed, though!

I'll add treasure glyphs to A Tree in the Center, but not A Couple Puddles--too much effort to get up there for the minor reward of a treasure glyph. That's five total spots for treasure glyphs, so...Scarab of Invulnerability is out.

Re: Utah Monthlies 2019

Hey @The Dewk , would by dad be able to borrow the Varja for tomorrow?
@Dat_One_Boi , I'm good on blastrons, it turns out I have more than I thought I did. Haha I don't ever use them. If someone can bring gladiatrons, I'd still love to borrow X17 though!
