FANTASTIC! EXCITING! IMAGINATIVE! needs your entries!
The fan-sourced free fanzine needs your entries based on the art found in the "Holmes" basic edition. Earlier posts in this community can give you the details (or you can ask questions here).
Here are several sparks to jog your creativity...
Cover
• What's that wand?
• That shield has a dragon on it that looks kind of like the dragon in the scene. Connection?
• Is there any treasure there that is more than it might first appear to be?
Page 1 (title page)
• What spell is the magic-user casting? It doesn't seem to line up with any spell a "Holmes" wizard would be able to cast from the text.
• What's special about that band of orcs?
Page 3
• Stats for the humanoid or the mount.
• What is that region? Any unique features or history?
Page 16
• What's that staff?
Page 18
• Any special stats for that minotaur, or for that fighting man (as an NPC perhaps?)
Page 25
• Special Dwarven items, perhaps? Alternate Dwarf stats?
Page 27
• Truckin' Wizard stats as an NPC (something different than a PC magic-user?)? Gnoll tribe details?
Page 28
• Why are the harpies attacking? One or two are attacking with a bone; is that a magic item? or something else??
Page 29
• What would make a hydra encounter more than expected or what is it guarding so fiercely?
Page 30
• Manticore lore... Why is their favorite prey man? Have they always had a human face?
Page 32
• Why are those weapons left behind?
Page 36
• New magic sword idea? Does each do-dad have a different single-use power?
Page 38
• Crystal ball, or is it?
• What's in the bottle?
• Is that really poison?
• What's that wand?
• Is the skull alive, or is something living within it?
• Is that an ordinary candle?
Page 45
• Got a twist to invigorate a skeletons-in-sarcophagi encounter?
This sounds fun, can we get a wd#-cap and a deadline?
ReplyDeleteAiming for 500 words or less per entry (average so far is 223). Hoping to have something to go with or inspired by every illustration in the book (baring the Sample Floor Plan and Sample Cross Section, which may become future projects).

Doing some work on my entry now for the lizard man / giant lizard on page 3!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteAlright-y Jon m'man;
ReplyDeleteMy last Kobold deadline is Sun., So I'll be pummeling your in-box this week. :-)
-- (wd#500> is cake!)
Seriously though, thanks for doing this Jon, I think it's an absolutely stellar idea. - And f.w.i.w., I personally, think you may be onto something here. Something cool and possibly ongoing.
Salut'
-Robert
I'm excited to see what comes of it, so it's been a pleasure to work on. I am going to go reinforce my in-box, so it will be able to stand up to the deluge...
