"I made some single homebrew items back in my own campaign, but this competition has a whole bunch of criteria. It's a different kind of designing altogether."
It's only a start, but there's the River Kingdoms entry on the Pathfinder Wiki. Besides that, though, think of it as a challenge of your own resourcefulness. EDIT: Ninja´d! And touche, Shadow!
I like your self-assurance, sir. But yes, it really has become harder and harder for me to not start chuckling at items using any of the Phrases Guaranteed To Drive You Bonkers. Not the original intent, I'm sure.
I'm put in mind of an old quote from a help-yourself-book on writing I read once. 'Whenever you feel an impulse to perpetrate a piece of exceptionally fine writing, obey it — whole-heartedly — and delete it before sending your manuscript to press. Murder your darlings.' Edit: That was Arthur Quiller-Couch, as it turns out.
You're a DQ, Item One
You're an oddball, Item Two
You're a reject, Item Three
You're a nightmare, Item Four
You're real nasty, Item Five
(with apologies to Dr. Seuss.)
Remember, don't cut a cross in the bottom of brussels sprouts before boiling, as some recommend. Not doing so keeps them crisp!
I'd vote for that, but it didn't follow the formatting. ;) (heeheehee, nice one)
So much so that we'd likely have no time for the actual voting.
Thanks, man! Merry Christmas to you, and to all.
I'd vote for 'em.
I feel your pain, man. Think I´m in the same boat. But I guess there are no losers, only students.
It´s the kind of idea that works well with items that are fairly easy to understand, like Bags of Holding. Less well with more complex concepts.
Saw mine too. Not sure if the items it was being shown with means anything or not.
This is kind of fun! But then, it has only been a couple of hours. Major kudos for the folks who´ve taken it upon themselves over the past 5 years, definitely.
Unless it's a police box, DeLorean, It only works if we all hit 88 votes per hour.
That was made even more surreal by the ad for The Hobbit in cinemas just to the right of the article.
Week 1 involved trying to think of at least 1 idea each day, by going for long walks and taking a notepad with me. Week 2 was brainstorming ideas for each one and researching similar items to see if the concept already existed. Then, picking the one I really ´felt´ had the most potential, and drafting and redrafting it over and over for week 3. I guess I´ll be approaching the archetype round in the same way.
At least 32 and less than 100 billion I think :PI'd put a maximum around 7 billion. I can't assume we'd get more entries than there are people currently living on the planet. Hey, we can´t rule out extraterrestrial life. An RPG´s just the thing to take the edge off a long space voyage, and an electronically available game system´s bound to be more convenient...
I´m a newcomer to Pathfinder, and likewise a first-time entrant. And I think without the wealth of competition information both archived and recent, I would not have stood a chance*. Very excited here too! Good luck, all. * assuming I stand a chance now, that is! |
