I'd like to answer the second part first, if I may. First of all, I own a 1958 Chevrolet Nomad. I've been Nomad, >nomad<, nomadV, nomadVIII, and the like on many online games (America's Army online lately) and boards...I also loved and took from the old AD&D series
Not necessarily for the culture, just the name. I like the gypsy culture more than the nomadic tribes. Its mainly because I would sunburn to a crisp in the desert, I think...gimme forests of trees! And as for the first part...I loves me rum and coca cola!!!!! and sometimes some supercold killians red.
Yeah, maybe this thread will go on as long as the one about the 'Wil Save' article. Anyway, I am feeling anxious again as well. I also forgot to congratulate Medesha for getting accepted last round...GREAT JOB! grumblegrumble ;). I only have two proposals in this round, though I have been boiling one up in my mind to email in the next couple of weeks. We'll see what they think in the next little bit...
and two b rated movies that toally freaked me out when i was a kid... galaxy of terror (little joanie from happy days gets offed)
both of those i watched at a friends house during a sleepover that had one of the first satellites...that was the size of a vw bug. JEEZ! but i guess i can blame a lot of my problems on the fact that my parents took me to 'in cold blood' and 'the wild bunch' while i was less than 6 months old. and im also adding -the blues brothers
and i'm more of a laurel and hardy type than a three stooges type
yes mastaflan!
man, i could go on all day. there's
that's all i can do in one sitting... rock and roll all nite, party every day!
ok ok ok- I just got my rejections last night. BUT, for the first time in a loooooong time, they were rejected with personal comments. (Thank you for that Mr Walker). Didn't get the 'cliche' comment, but did get a couple of 'good, but doesn't stand out from the crowd' comments. Apparently it's all about location, location, location. Though I did turn in one with the burned out volcanic lake just before the 'Shackled City' thing took off. I didn't need to know personal comments on that one after I read Issue #97 (which I did get a short adventure of mine published). I also got nailed this time for having 'problem solving elements' in one, which I am guessing is referring to puzzles I described as being in a rogue's tomb. Mr Mona (or Mr Jacobs) has mentioned the castle in the melting glacier as a good location 2x in these forums...I am going to bet that they will be getting several dozen of those in the next month or so. Mr Jacobs said "Or swap out a monster like a dragon or a demon for something realy weird, like a tauric minotaur/rust monster or a wendigo nymph." This is the part I love, I had a half fiend displacer beast with wings that could fly in one proposal, and a rust monster that conveniently finds a metal flask full of a potion of flying before the PCs show up in another. The one of mine that got published had an ettin that had been turned into a wight. As for the 'cliche' characters, I DID play a halfling assassin in 1st ed. and he was a CN backstabbing b*****d that was greedy and wore all goth-y black leather. Almost every dwarf I've played has been a cleric with a hammer and always on the lookout for the almighty dwarven thrower (which wasn't all that great, oh well). And as for the 'rescue the princess/kill the dragon' story, wasn't there one a few years ago where the princess was an illusion or something...or maybe I'm remembering an old 'Far Side' cartoon.
Nothing here yet either- They are deciding on four of mine (five, maybe, depending on the exact cutoff date). I think that they said their email was still messed up. But that didn't stop me from obsessively checking my email every couple of hours last friday...I doubt anything comes till monday or so.
check it out. small village - check. mayor - check (sorta). the rest ...dunno. tear it up, let me know what you think. granted there are a few kobolds with the template, but like the other guy said, you have to have the 'norms' to make the templates stand out. maps-schmaps! SPOILERS---------- The small village has an unusual local character, a sapling (medium-sized) treant. He interacts well with the community and helps out where he can. He answers to many different names, but the name that the children gave him for the number of leaves on his crown, Nineteen, is his favorite. The PCs will know and have maybe directly interacted with Nineteen before the day that starts this adventure. Nineteen was on a mission for the village to see if the way was clear through the kobold territory of the forest and to check on the tower that is the halfway point through the forest. He returns, riddled with small crossbow bolts, in the ‘arms’ of an animated tree and tells of an invasion of the tower. The town elders ask for volunteers to investigate the tower and find any survivors. The surviving defenders of the tower hid in the basement and are waiting for the perfect time to emerge and retake the tower. The PCs will find a small force of @30 kobolds led by a 3rd level rogue. When they return to the village, they find that Nineteen has been poisoned and is dying. It is actually the result of a curse from a kobold huecuva and its blight. A sending spell comes to inform the villagers that a jar of keoghtom’s ointment is coming by way of a river barge and should arrive in 2 days. The elders ask the PCs to ride out and meet the barge to provide secure passage to the village. The PCs find the partially sunken remains of the barge, watched by a pair of ogres, and quickly pick up the kobold’s trail to the heucuva’s cave complex. The huecuva orchestrated the theft of the ointment as part of its penance; its deity wants the treant destroyed. There will be another @50 kobolds (a few that are 1st level rogues), and a few ghouls in the upper level. The second level holds the temple to Kurtulmak where the huecuva once held sway, now inhabited by a gibbering mouther, and the cleric’s quarters where the huecuva will make its final stand. There is an exit tunnel that leads away from the caves to a small marsh where a 6 HD vine horror lurks. It was this horror’s arrival that triggered the series of actions that have been interrupted by the PCs. It was sent from Kurtulmak to aid the kobolds in their expansion of their territory, but was attacked by the kobolds, which set off the deity’s anger and curse of the kobold leader. The PCs should find the ointment and heal Nineteen and may even rid the forest of the vine horror and this particular colony of kobolds couldnt work in the otyugh or the 10 x 10 room with the orc, axe, and chest, but there you go. The women and children mostly took off after the leader got turned into the huecuva and then the rest left when the small group of kobolds started feeding on their own kind and turned into ghouls.
Hey Koldoon- How do you know which levels are overpopulated? From a previous rejection feedback letter or something? I just sent in a proposal for a 1st (into 2nd or even 3rd) level proposal with just plain ol' kobolds...It seems that to use the monsters by themselves, it has to be really low level (or you have to use a whole lot of them).
