Short: Rolegame combat tool V2.03, 0-4 Players
Uploader: S.Waschk@rz.tu-bs.de (Stefan Waschk)
Author: Stefan Waschk/Siegfriedstr119/D-38106 Braunschweig
Type: game/role
Distribution: OK
SZENARION V2.03:
================
SHORT:
------
This mighty tool was designed to help the dungeon-master handling his party
during hand to hand combats. You will never again have the need for
additional arms, eyes and brains when leading your party into an encounter!
Use the SZENARION, lean back, relax and give smart hints to your players.
This time they will be really in trouble if they act foolish again! This
time your carefully designed nonplayer-characters will do their best to
turn the heat on!
You have earned this break, use it!
HARDWARE:
---------
- AMIGA :)
- OS2++
- 68020++ (MMU)
- flickerfixer (NTSCHIGHRESLACED) or AGA-chipset (EURO72)
- harddisk (5MB)
- 3MB++ ram
SHAREWARE?
----------
If I sum up the time I've spend on this project, the shareware-fee (15DM)
seems like a bad joke. After nearly four years (begining under OS1.3) of
constant development I could also name it GIFTWARE. I don't think that any
commercial software-developer will ever start such a project. I would'nt
have done it, too, if it would'nt have been for myself and my own
RPG-party. Some people even offered me the possibility to distribute it...
If f.e. D&D® would bring out such a tool, perhaps with nice
animation-sequences on the right places, the kids would storm the stores
and spend even more than 100DM. But I think, only a real rolegame-player
with years of rolegame-experience is able to create such an usable tool.
FEATURES:
---------
Sorry, at this time there is no english version, but a readme.txt is
included, so you can test it and contact me, if it fits your needs. Main
features so far (after 3.8 years of hard work):

RKSprint (V2.02)
----------------
Tool for directing fight-documentation to your printer
Charakterblatt (V2.03)
----------------------
Makes a TeX-document from any character of your characters/ drawer.
NeuerCharakter (V2.03)
----------------------
Makes character-creation and handling easier (see below). Seems to work
only on my A2000... Preview of a new one is included, watch out for it...
Intelligent icon-creation (V2.03)
---------------------------------
If working with >NeuerCharakter<, your characters will be represented by
individual icons, refered by their entry "Bild" from their .char-file. You
can also edit your characters from now on, if you have MEmacs in drawer
SYS:Tools/MEmacs. Elsewise change the path in the icons.
INSTALLATION
------------
To install V2.03, you only have to extract the SzenarionV2.lha-file to a
directory and use the HDinstall-icon.
If you want to install from a disk-drive, extract files to desired disk(s).
If you can't extract them to one single disk (in case of a DD-disk-drive),
copy the file szen_2.lha to a second, szen_3.lha to a third disk and use
the HDinstall-icon also. The install-script is able to handle it.
ROLEGAME-COMPATIBILITY
----------------------
Originaly this package was developed for the MERS® system (engl. MERP®),
but an experienced role-game-master should be able to convert his
characters from any other system as D&D®, AD&D®, DSA® etc. Refer the
Szenarion.dvi-file for special guidelines.
DOCUMENTATION
-------------
The 118 sided (german) rulebook is included as .dvi file. Now with an
INDEX!
HELP
----
I planned to intigrate some film-sequences and (mod-)musics. If you like
to improve this tool with your artwork, contact me.
BUGS
----
-There were some problems to work with the editor-screen on the A1200. I
made some changes, but I could'nt test them till now. Report Bugs to me!
-When removing a player character during simulation by master-menu,
sometimes the menu points to NULL. Till now I could'nt reproduce the bug
and localize the error.
-NeuerCharakter crashes on A3000, A1200 (as tested so far). It will be
replaced in the next release...
