Well what would be great (and I'm willing to put it together once I figure 
it out myself) is a tutorial explaining how to create a very small intro 
sequence, a simple 1 or 2 room map with some objects and maybe 1 NPC and a 
character.  Very small and simple thing but demonstrating most of the 
capabilities of the system.  So, a "first you do A, then you do B".  

A walkthrough like this would be very helpful in bringing new folks on 
board quickly.  Like I said, I'm willing to throw it together once I 
figure out how to do it ;-)
