<h2>Stackman’s Adventures</h2>
(The unofficial forum walkthrough)

I believe this index does great justice to the Stackman Saga by finally granting it the ability to be used as a walkthrough, for which it was also meant in the first place

The index contains following:

1) A link to all the chapters in the saga and a few related threads.
2) Dungeons – which chapters contain information on which dungeons?
3) Guild quests – which chapters contain information on how to complete them?
4) Characters – in which chapters do the various NPCs and monsters appear?

I took the liberty of starting the posting to Wyvern's sticky library thread at the top of the forum with this modest index.

But I had always planned to post it as a normal thread as well. Hence the double posting. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It took me a while, but now I really feel that the story can work properly as a walkthrough. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wow, that index does it...yeah, it just does it ;)

I am extremely impressed, bsftcs. A true walkthrough it is, and easy to find and follow [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Thanks to Wyvern for putting up the Library post. I've added the link to Missy's adventures, and when I get a chance, I'll flesh it out so the intermingling of our two stories is more clear. Sadly, I didn't follow things along smoothly... :(

Grrrrrreat stuff [img]smile.gif[/img]

*Blushes* Where I my manners? I wanted to include a thanks speech in the index, but I was so tired when I posted it last night that I totally forgot. Well, that has now been mended and due credits have been edited into my post in the library thread. [img]smile.gif[/img]

HUrrah!!!!

Hope other creative authors who have graced our board will add their posts in as well - we've had a lot of great stories!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
