Title                   : SHRTHARD.ZIP; Contains
                         QUIKISGD.WAD
                         BARONGAT.WAD
                         CENTER.WAD
                         Three short, hard levels. (At least for me they're hard
                         but, hey! I'm not the best doom player. I'm better
                         than a lot. Maybe even most.)

Misc. Author Info       : Member of the Black Star Coven. We Design
                         Good Levels...
                         We also like to play good levels, so if your stuff
                         is good, mail me...  You may even get accepted for
                         membership.., who knows? Its not my call, though.

                         I would greatly appreciate feedback on:
                         ammo/health: there's more than I need but I know
                         where everything is.
                         difficulty: too easy/hard
                         how much you loved it/hated it.
                         SO SEND ME MAIL

                         I used to put a long list of all the wads I ever made
                         Including a description, but that got awfully long so
                         I'm just going to describe my newer (and better)
                         ones.
                         Bad Stuff (by my standards, these are still better than
                         alot):
                         darker.zip
                         3_pack1.zip(Contains three levels, obviously).
                         ds-61-3.zip(Contains seven levels.)
                         Skull.zip
                         Good stuff:
                         quikisgd.zip and quikisg2.zip; Short kick ass wads.
                         Nosun*.zip; Some of my best ever. Two long, one mid,
                         and one short -length levels out so far. Get 'em now!
                         Barongat.zip; should be out by now; short real hard kick ass
                         wads.
                         >dk.zip: dk.wad, a high quality fortress level<
                         !This last zip was postponed. I get an error about
                         an unknown thing class before the level starts.
                         According to Dck, there are no unknown things.
                         If anyone knows how to solve this problem, Help
                         is _Much_ appreciated.

                         Soon to come:
                         Work in The Black Star Covens The Talosian Incident
                         Web Page: Http://www.geocities.com/timesquare/8666/bscoven.html
                         (Maybe) Other Nosuns
                         Probably some other stuff.

                                       THE BEST WADS:
                                       Darkcvnt.wad. By keith phipps (I think thats his name)
                                       Cabal*.wad By Sverre Kvernmo


Baron Gate Description  : MAP27
                         As the name indicates, a lot of barons come through
                         here. Once you hit a switch in one of the four corners
                         of the main room, get the hell out of the corner and
                         then flip yer mouse and rocket and shell those
                         barons back to where they came from. (Hell)

                         This is a good but pretty damn hard .wad. Its a good
                         idea to save; you'll probably have to reload every
                         time you do a room over again; hint: whenever possible
                         let the baddies kill eachother. _Especially_ when
                         Chaingunners are involved.

                         One thing thats weird about this level is, looking at its
                         map, you'd think it was pretty bad. One of the first
                         levels I wrote that's map didn't look cool. Oh well,
                         the automap is not the important thing, thank god.

                         On UV, The baron-count is twenty-eight! (There are
                         plenty of other monsters, though.)
                         Weapons Available: Both Shotguns, Chaingun, Chainsaw
                         Bfg (You need it though...)

Center Description      : MAP31
                         Very difficult. Chock full of Mancubuses and
                         Revenants and Cacos and other good stuff. Fight your
                         way into an underground complex to the center, and
                         then let the cyberdemon feed you some rockets. Hint;
                         Let the cyberdemon kill the cacos.

                         This is one of my favourite levels I have made...
                         Very difficult.
                         Weapons Available: Both Shotguns, Plasma Gun,
                         Chainsaw, Berserk.

Quikisgd Description    : Quick is good. Advertising seems to have told us
                         that. This is a very good level. Not all that quick
                         but damn good.

                         You are somewhere where you don't know where is.
                         You are surrounded by maniacal idiots who have
                         begun nibbling on your shoulder. You know there is
                         a chapel somewhere outside which has a teleport to
                         your house, and you want to find it.

                         You blast some Revenants and Hell Knights and Arch-
                         Viles into oblivion and jump in. There, that wasn't
                         _SO_ hard.


Additional Credits to   : Patrick Martin for testing and constructive criticism.
                         Check out his "Blakgate.wad"
                         It kicks ass.

                         Ben Morris for dck3.61
                         It kicks ass! I designed two maps in one week that
                         together total over 500 sectors, all thanks to his
                         editor.

                         All the good wads I ever played for giving me inspiration.
                         (Especially those mentioned above.)

                         John Bye for boosting my ego a little and letting
                         me into the Black Star Coven. Check out the
                         homepage at the top (or close). Mail john and become
                         a beta tester and you get to play a bunch of mine and
                         Many other Top-Quality wad designers before anyone else.
                         Also, play johns cygnusiv.zip.
                         He's at [email protected]

                         Sverre Andre Kvernmo for designing the best levels
                         ever (cabal and others, some in the master levels).
                         He's also a pretty cool guy.
                         "Eternal Doom II just ain't the same without him."
                         Be sure to mail him (if you play his levels) and tell him
                         how good a level designer he is.

                         My dad for fixing (and breaking) the computer.
                         And testing my levels on skill 3.

                         Whoever made Zennode.

                         And a big Thank-You-Very-Fucking-Much to anyone who
                         emailed me and told me my wads kick ass (actually,
                         no ones ever mailed me to tell me other wise, so
                         play this wad and agree and mail me.)
                         It pisses me off to see all those mid-quality wads
                         (which will remain nameless, except for Raven.wad.
                         Dumb Fucker's now at Id, and his stuff is _UGH_).
                         get so much attention cause of their distribution.
                         Me and a million others, such as Patrick Martin or
                         Michael Krause or others (These guys get mentioned
                         cause they're cool) are much better level designers...
                         Oh well..,

                         Also thanks to those who tested this wad... I definitely
                         got some good criticism that made this wad better.

PS: IF YOU STILL USE THE KEYBOARD; MAKE THE SWITCH (I RECENTLY DID).
YOU'LL KICK ASS TWICE AS MUCH AS BEFORE!
(This is non-critical of you keyboarders, though... I always hated cocky
mousers when I was a keyboarder...)
