A really good basic introduction to the game elements.

I give it an 8 for fun/'educational value' and 1 brain of difficulty.

Nice and easy! 1 Brain and 7 fun. Some rooms shouldn't have highscores though (like the master wall room!).

I liked it. just 1 comment: as Jason noted, you need to mark "END: 1S" as unconquerable

Ow! That hurt!

I apologize, but when it comes down to it, it's pretty low in terms of priorities. Guess it'll have to be a TCB tutorial now.

But why?

I though it was a "1st place!!!" tutorial - 5 minutes of fame for everyone, until the spider kicks the demo...

'Tis alright. I'd make one myself, but ideally someone with influence could make it and get it distributed or at least mentioned with a TCB patch.

Not a bad hold but not really a tutorial.

Thanks for the hold though.

I have to say that this tutorial is much much better than the later 3.0 version. Although it isn't as "tutorialish" as it should and could be, I believe it covered all the basics (this time I read most of the scrolls). It was pretty fun and easy to score some #1 places .

So, while not even half as good as Advanced Concepts (is there some "Simple Concepts" hold actually?) it was fortunately much much easier and beginner friendly.

Fun - 6
Difficulty - 1

A nice tutorial and a good hold to start on after a long absence from the game. I give it 7 for quality and 1 for toughness.

Pretty good hold. Lots of explanation for a variety of simple interactions in the hold.

Like skell said, Advanced Concepts is better at explaining the quirks and nuances of the elements of the game, but this definitely is high quality.

So,
7 for fun.
1 for brains.
55/100 approval rating.

I enjoyed being "refreshed" in the basics. There were good explanations of all the elements. If I introduced someone to DROD, this might be one of the holds I'd point them to. It explains secrets and pretty much all the creatures to a basic extent, not necessarily how to defeat them more easily though. It was enjoyable and nicely put together so thank you. 7/10. 2/10 for brains.

I like this hold a lot, quite informative, witty and funny remarks, I would recommend it to every fresh player out there.
