I downloaded it just a few minutes ago, and immediately went and read the readme file. That's good work - it looks a lot like what I have in my own draft readme, and you've covered a few things I forgot like if somebody ever gets any money for it.
Two things I noticed:
AFAIK, you don't have to include the .pyc files in the distribution. Those are automatically created by the Python interpreter from a .py file when it first encounters a script that it hasn't already compiled.
I only looked at one script file, but saw something sloppy. The bwquadtavern script seems to think you don't have money when you say you don't want to pay. But the if statements that try to take the money using modifyGold don't have any else clauses. You could just un-indent the mainmenu() after the end of each while loop to catch this case, I think. Always cover all the possible ways out of a routine, even the "impossible" ones! Remember to always practice safe coding!

I read through the readme's of Rickstavern + Origen's for ideas on what should be on the readme file.
I'll look through the bwquadtavern script when I get out of work. Thanks for the input.

I have started playing it.Sweet!! I had 1 hiccup on the spider lair. The message when you step on the square where the battle took place flashes a message too fast to get anything but a glance. Am having a lot of fun. Thanx, C

I'll have to upload an update sometime soon to make these minor corrections. Haven't gotten around to looking through the bwquadtavern script yet but i've seen the spiderlair script and it's just a minor fix to correct on that one. I've also noticed that for the bwlast script, I had mistakenly forgotten to add the rest of the final treasure
, though right now you still get one really nice item of value upon defeating the last battle. I'll let you know when I post an update.
Oh and don't feel that you have to wait for the update cause you should be able to play through the entire mod without any real problems. 8) I'll probably update every now and again just to make improvements.

Dragonbait, I hate you and your stupid mod. Because of you, I got less than 2 hours of sleep last night! I couldn't pull myself away until I completed it. Sweet Work!! I was unable to equip the holy gloves with any of my characters, including my paladin. Very nice textures, and the drinks in the bar were very helpful. Well thought out! Thanks for a lack of sleep and a lot of fun.

A Monk character can equip the Holy Gloves. Glad you liked the mod.
