Your hold looks fantastic, definitely a good start. It is way too easy for a finished hold, but as the start of a multi-level hold it works.

You should, however, go back and look at the rooms in level 1 and see if you can tweak the difficulty up a bit. Not necessarily changing everything, but just look at the rooms and ask yourself if you can make them better. The two rooms you have on level 2 are fine, but you might want to draw a 2 on the floor in the entrance to be consistent with level 1.

The only problems I noted were with 1N on level 1. If you head west from this room before doing the two eastern rooms there's no way to finish the level. On a possibly related note, there's a blank scroll in the room.

OK since I have an extra mod point,Whoever PM's me what the content of the 2 weird rooms in the dumb hold first will get a rank point.But you must post for me to give it to you. I only am doing this : A) because I have a spare mod point and B) because I want people to see the hold.

rowrow,

It is not a dumb hold. Looking at it, it is something that already takes some shape. I think you should at least try to make some more levels. Level 2 was hard for me, anyway. It took me at least 10 times to finish that snake and goblins room :look (and some times to finish the entrance in level 2.

Look, my first hold also looks terrible. But just don't expect it to be perfect. The best way to make good rooms is to make a lot of rooms. You don't know how many rooms I've made, and how many of them didn't made it into my last hold.

Original ideas are also very hard to find, but you will find them. But it is not important as long as it is fun. (You don't know how many ideas I have "borrowed".)

I do know you have great ideas. 1E in my latest hold was partly based on your sig. :)

Thanks again.

-- Tim

PS. You might want to make the exit in level 2 to lead to (end of hold).

I though I made sure to make the stairs lead to where they should.I'll change it in the previous post.

Well, I'm impressed, but I must say that you have added so much more things on it that I can make a trick out of it. Maybe it is a good idea to "borrow" some of my room layouts and make it better. If you want to do that, I won't mind ;)

Can someone please tell me,how many rooms should a hold be before I submit it to "HOLDS"?Don't say "it's up to you" (me) since I know that but I don't want to put it there if its not ready.

Fool's Errand has around 10 rooms ;)
There's not any rule about minimum number of rooms in a hold.
