The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Cati] and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.

I'm not even sure if TBA is playable as a player, which is fine as 
they are the place to learn how to use DG (DeathGate) scripts
effectively.  DG scripts help your mobs become more alive, 
more 'real' than just something to hack and slash.  So, truthfully, 
if your mud is just hack and slash and you don't care about the mobs 
getting slashed, you don't need TBA. 

But, if you're like me and would love to learn how to make that mob 
even more lifelike, make sure to stop by TBA and have a talk with 
one of the staff.  Rumble and Fizban (along with many of the other 
well trained staff) would be happy to take your idea and show you 
how to make it real.  At least they do with me - no matter how silly 
it is.

Cati had some excellent ideas for triggers, but was lacking the 
training on how to implement them. So she went through the Builder
Academy training process and took advantage of our trigger of the 
day example/request. Every day on http://tbamud.com we post an 
example trigger or allow someone to post an idea that they want to
see made into a trigger. She requested these two:

http://www.tbamud.com/forum?c=showthread&ThreadID=88

and has come a long way in learning how to effectively use 
trigedit (aka DG Scripts). Thanks for the review Cati.
