Tankie of the Descent Online Ladies Legion (Doll) was gracious enough to allow me to host thier site. This group of ladies were not to be taken lightly, Those that tried would leave the game a little worse for wear, that is if they were lucky enough to keep thier hide .

Descent Mission Database a must have link for any level developer or Descent Player!


How long have you wanted to hold an actual Pyro in your hands? No hand a full size one you hands aren't that big! I am talking a scaled 7"-8" model that you can place on your desk. AAHHH that's right now it's sinking in. I plan on placing and order for a Pyro model this week! Once that is done a mold can be made and pyros flying into your hands soon!

Thanks to the generosity of Bama, Descent3.net has been added to the repository I don't have any scripts working yet, and not sure if I will. "Descent3.net" most everything I have checked so far appears ok except the logo pages none of those were on the CD from Master "Bama".

Do YOU know of a Descent Site that was really good for either content or eye appeal, one that should be saved? Like the Descent3.net or the Warpcore man I would love to see those sites saved/archive. Think about it pass the word!

I just set up DwnUndr with a subdomain, I am excited to have DwnUndr here becuas I consider him one of the best Descent level designers!
     
February 18, 2004
I am considering a Descent Reflections Section, this section will include the old KoolBear's Descent and I hope will grow to encompass Descent sites as the owners either chose not to or can no longer suport their work. Instead of letting the site/work go away I propose that a Descent Repository be established!
