  I say we do it. Write up a list of rules, set a deadline for entries.

  I'd like to keep it limited to under 8 room as suggested in the first
message. No minimum number of rooms(you never know what people can come up
with. How about a party with one location, and just characters to interact
with?).

  Design system should be portable between MAC, DOS, and Unix as a minimum
requirement.

  Time limit should be say August 1st or so. Time to give students something
to do with their summer break.


  I've started writing ideas for mine. (I always do titles first. Gets me
morivated).

  Look for it on a ftp site near you (in a couple months, or with a time
machine):

   Baldar the Wanderer: The Quest for the Princess's Navel

   A whimsical adventurer with a budding Barbarian named Baldar on his quest
to recover the Princess's stolen diamond. Includes the much acclaimed 'How
to be a Barbarian' by Rex the Stout.
