Leilon Arms: Wish List (GMs please read)

[cappyra]

When Quin and I set out on the Leilon Arms project we decided that we wanted to do everything using IG mechanics without the need for DM intervention.   We know the GMs are very busy and instead of just presenting an idea, we went forward using what was available to us IG to show that we were serious about opening a player owned and operated Inn.  We did it to give something back and to create more content not only for ourselves but for everyone.  The Inn has been open for three weeks and it is really amazing to see our concept come to life. It has been tons of fun and the RP has been the best. I think we have had quite a few GMs come through and in our latest installment the man himself peeked in and had kind words to say about our project.

Now if I may, I have a wish list of things I would like to do in order to make the Inn run smoother and add a litte more flavor:

- A sign out front that reads Leilon Arms Inn and Tavern

- Change the marker on the overhead map for 121 Leilon to read:  Leilon Arms

- In order to make the Inn look good and furnished we maxed out the furniture.  Is there any way to make some of the furnishings permanent so that they do not count against the database?

- The ability to leave the main door unlocked.  This will allow us to have the Inn open for all to enjoy all the time.

- The ability to lock individual doors inside the Inn.  Im not sure if this is possible.  It would help since we rent individual rooms.

- a kitchen would be great for cooking and brewing for the Inn.

- a section in the forums to post upcoming events and stories from the Leilon Arms =)

Thanks so much for your consideration.

- A sign out front that reads Leilon Arms Inn and Tavern

This would be very nice. I think this would help us all alot, and should not be too hard to slap in.

- Change the marker on the overhead map for 121 Leilon to read: Leilon Arms

Note, we are not asking for the building name to be changed, just the marker on the map, which, also should be easy.

- In order to make the Inn look good and furnished we maxed out the furniture. Is there any way to make some of the furnishings permanent so that they do not count against the database?

I do not think this is NECESSARY ... we don't really have anything more that we need to place.

- The ability to leave the main door unlocked. This will allow us to have the Inn open for all to enjoy all the time.

This is a bug with the door script, and unlocking is not working. This should be fixed sometime anyway, if it is not already on your list, please look into it.

- The ability to lock individual doors inside the Inn. Im not sure if this is possible. It would help since we rent individual rooms.

I don't think this is necessary either.

- a kitchen would be great for cooking and brewing for the Inn.

Since this would involve editing the map, I'm not holding my breath. HOWEVER, since we do have a side door on the house that is not used, perhaps give us a shed there with a kitchen and card-playing area? Yeah ... probably not, but it would be real nifty.

this was more for cosmetics than functionality.  So need NO.  Want to make the Inn LOOK nicer.  YES

once again being able to lock your door would add more depth to it being YOUR appartment.  This would also disuade people from going places they should not.   Sort of a way to remove the temptation.

I totally forgot the room around the back.  I would also be willing to pay to have this "addition" built onto the Leilon Arms.

The sign and the map note would be really easy.  If approved I'll volunteer to make the changes to the map.. er... well, since I have no toolset, I'll make lal do it.... and by make... I mean... ask really really nicely. *looks around to make sure Lalaith isnt about to smack him*

"- The ability to lock individual doors inside the Inn. Im not sure if this is possible. It would help since we rent individual rooms."

Individually locking doors can be done, its a bit more work, and means having more door scripts in the module.  I think the more door scripts would be the main reason to not allow it, though, I'll admit I'm not sure if the number of doors wih the script on them affects anything.

"- a kitchen would be great for cooking and brewing for the Inn. "

Can't really say anything about this since more things are considered when placing crafting stuff than just having a location where it makes sense to have it.

"- The ability to leave the main door unlocked. This will allow us to have the Inn open for all to enjoy all the time. "

I think this is fixed in next update. (I will check)

"- In order to make the Inn look good and furnished we maxed out the furniture. Is there any way to make some of the furnishings permanent so that they do not count against the database? "

Two ways to do this, by adding "toolset" placables to the map, or by adding DM placables.  Toolset placeables involves changing the map, but DM placables means a DM has to sit there and help you arrange furniture.  If this is approved it would likely be less time consuming to DMs to send you the map for 121 Leilon and have you put placables in and then send it back and get it approved.  Problem with that is you may or may not lose the placables you have set up now, and you definitely wouldnt be able to see them while you were adding placables in the toolset.

*Casually walks up besides Talan and smacks him*
  Hehe.. been wanting a reason to do that. *grins*
 
  Anyway..  But but of course I would help with ANYTHING the inn needed. 
  I love that place.... its becoming a second home to my little gypsy Kali.

Thanks Va'Lashes'

Kali...  I absolutely LOVED the dueling bards.  When Kali and Ashley were having the duel it was just epic.  I could actually almost hear the instruments, the crackling fire and the clapping crowd as the duel went back and forth.  I was thinking how my vision of the Inn was being played out and the depth that it was bringing to the game was incredible.

I would appreciate any help you could offer to the DM team to make the changes.  

Thanks everyone!!!

  Hehe.. thanks.  And of course there is MUCH more to come..
  But anyway, I had a thought for your wishlist. I don't know if its possible, but what do you think?
  I realized today, that the "Staff" of the Lelion arms were discussing things on the forums, that really wouldn't matter to the public until an outcome was decided:  I thought about doing it in pm's, but if you hire more people, that might get to be a pain (unless there is a way to send to multiple people, but then your inbox gets filled). 
  Figureing that planning suprises or certain things for some Inn openings, can't always be done in game, and woudln't want to be discussed in public until finalized....
  Would it be possible to have a private forum for the staff? Kind of like is being created for the Dieties?  Or is that too much?
  Thoughts?

Thats totally cool.  We can discuss things through PMs as far as events.  I put this in the open forums for the exact reason of getting inputs.  And hopefully a look by the GMs.

Thanks for throwing in with us on the Inn.  It will be awesome to have you around!

I put a Leilon Arms Forum on the wish list.  Maybe we can get a private one as well.  

Thanks!

Bump

[Leanthar]

You don't need to bump this. I am well aware of your wishes/requests. I will get to a few of them when I can.

[cappyra]

Thank you Leanthar.   Sorry for being impatient.
