Sounds like there's a story there.
After the tourney!

No worries; I gotcha.

Hey, I'm fine with longer game times. I just wanted to make sure we had enough time to get in all the rounds. But we can absolutely go longer if that will work better.

I wasn't sure you were a definite after the date changed. Just being thorough.
I'll update the top post.
Well, I got VirtualScape working on this laptop and started playing around with gluing together my top two map choices:
April, and
A Couple Puddles. They actually fit together scarily well; you can check out the results
in the Downloads section. A few notes to understand how I'm doing this:
- I haven't reproduced the entirety of the two maps; I'm just showing the edges and how they fit together. Likewise, I didn't have any need to do all the levels—I just went high enough to cover all the places that the two maps would actually touch (which in this case was level 3).
- The pink pieces are the bridge terrain. Since they can literally be any (full-height) terrain pieces (as long they don't have any terrain rules like road or lava field), I figured I'd use a neutral color. This also helps show where the one map ends and the other begins. (Note that, in this particular example, both maps had gaps on level 1, which would be covered by pieces on level 2. I filled in some of those just to make the whole structure more stable.)
- The yellow pieces are representing random treasure glyphs (since VirtualScape doesn't know anything about treasure glpyhs). I made those a long time ago to represent the Marvel glyphs and I guess they were still lying around in the data directory. So I just repurposed them here. The random glyph that actually looks like a glpyh would be the random power glyph.
Obviously this is just one example, and it's just a suggestion. We could make the maps farther apart (I'm not sure it's physically possible to make them closer together), or offset them differently, or what-have-you. Also, we could add more bridge pieces, and we can change the placement of the glyphs. I'm just looking for some feedback here to see what you guys think of the efforts so far before I try to do them all.
EDIT: Besides adding D-man to the "yes" list, I also tweaked game times to 1:15 (just a thought), and changed the glyphs as superfrog suggested earlier (i.e. 1 power, 2 treasures).
