	Nifty tricks? That's me! My wads are usually chock full of "illegal" 
special effects.

	I can whip some up in a few weeks if I really put my mind to it.

I don't think that's possible. I do think it's possible to do something
good before TNT is released - after all, TNT just got delayed until
January. Anyway, I'd like to give it a try: my minimal involvement with
TNT was when I though we were doing something free for everyone, and I'd
be depressed if it seems we can only make good 32 level PWADs for money. 

Remember, Quake may be Christmas but it'll be a while before anyone is 
editing anything except Doom...

Besides, knowing how id's release dates tend to slide, you may actually 
have until February or March.

Best of luck, gentlemen.  Go for it!!!!

Speaking of sliding release dates...  Quake by Christmas?  I don't 
believe it.  Maybe Easter.  And it'll probably be 1997 before we see 
many high-quality Quake add-on levels.  Good old DOOM still has quite a 
bit of life left in it.

bwaaaha ha haha ha ha ha <snort>!!!

I *like* that name. :-)

SATWTTCTTAD32LCI3W.wad

uhh... It's a little long tho...
How about 
SADTWAT.wad
for short? Even if it's crap, with a name like that, it's bound to get
around...

Seriously though, I've been involved in *3* of these "lets make a cool
level comp" things. I've *yet* to receive a response after the initial
pants-wetting furor of the (well intentioned) "organizer".

Instead of making a "collection" of levels, it might be easier (and
more fun) and faster to split a level between 4/5 people. 1 person
does sounds, 1 textures, 1 .exe hacking,  1or2 designing levels.
Decide on a "theme", compile/complete the necessary steps, then assign
the "merging" to one of the project members when it's done. I'm sure
there's enogh people out there that have preferences (specialize if
you will) on *specific* things. A single level Pwad (even a large one)
can be uue'd back and forth quite easily (at first anyway). With
enough discussion, some cool ideas could be born.
Just a thought, but maybe worth discussing. I myself am in no way
qualified to "specialize" in *anything*, but I know some of you
regulars out there that would appreciate this kind of challenge.
Gotcha thinkin' eh... :-)
