               Wow, lots more new suggestions for this month.  Here is a summary, just to make sure I have everyone’s suggestions from this thread, poll comments and PMs.  If you don’t see your recent suggestion listed here, let me know real, REAL soon.  There are a few with pending clarifications, if that is the case, there is a note about it after the summary of the theme.



Ancient Egypt Religious items – Pharaoh's crown and wands, Tombs Paintings, Temple gods statues.  (Suggested by Garbage Master, PM sent to see if this was a new suggestion or a specific suggestion for the Religious items and symbols theme.)



The art of deception - 2d in a 3d world - Rugs, Tapestries, Pictures, Fake Stuff (Walls, Cracks, etc), Fissures, Footprints, Blood Trails, Semi-Transparent Ground Overlays to change the Colour, Small Puddles. I.E. anything that is flat and all the modeling can be easily done with a text editor (fixed size models, just change the bitmap name). The thing is you don't need to be a great artist to produce something that is both flat and others find useful. Just look at my map mats and you'll see that. Heck, I've got all the artistic talent of a brick.  (Suggested by Tarot Redhand, added April 2011)



Surprise Me - Basically the idea is for everyone who submits work, to make something that has never been made for NWN before. (Suggested by Tarot Redhand, added April 2011)



Machines - Any crazy contraptions, gizmos, doodads that might be useful for something. I know those gnomes have created more than just a "gnomish contraption" since NWN came out.  Things like:  Mechanical horse, Wagon car, and an elevator that would fit nicely into some of the small interior rooms. (Suggested by GhostOfGod, added April 2011) – not sure if Tarot’s gnomish madness suggestion is part of this or not – sent a PM asking.



Monsters from Asian Mythology -   I think what NWN is really lacking so far, despite all of the wonderful Oriental tileset, heads and placeable stuff, are creatures that fit an Oriental setting. We've got the CCP behir that could pass off as a Chinese dragon with some imagination, we've got an ogre magi with naginata and we've got the splendid kappa included in ProjectQ. And that's that.    What about onis, tengus, otoroshis, hengeyokais and all kinds of other bakemonos? Real Chinese dragons and ghosts?   (Suggested by olivier leroux, added April 2011)



Not sure if the next 2 are the same thing – sent a PM to Jenna asking.

Oh, I also suggest more heads for our less loved races like halflings and gnomes. (Suggested by Jenna)



Halflings - Yeah, just anything for halflings. People tend to ignore them when it comes to custom heads and whatnot.  (Suggested by Jenna WSI, added April 2011)  Additional suggestions by oOKyeOo:  Maybe some real halfling homes for tileset designed for the rural. I think we could use an updated version like what L.o.W has for his seasonal forest set.



Dwarves and  Demi-Humans - I would like to see a Dwarven theme,or maybe a Demi-Human theme in general. (Suggested by Draygoth28, added April 2011)



Organics - Anything from a bunch of nature placeables, to weather vfx, to animal AI, to whatever you feel like as long as it is in a fluid and naturalistic style. (Suggested by henesua, added April 2011)

               In your poll, can we vote a second time or edit our vote?

               Uhhhhh.... *deer in the headlights*  You know... I always just assumed you could only vote once and that the vote wasn't changeable.  Guess I better change that to:  *ass in the headlights*  '<img'>  Is there a way to set such options?  Personal opinion here:   If so the first should be disabled and the second allowed?

               Maybe these additional options could be punted to another time? I don't know maybe it doesn't matter if we add these other items after the voting has already been in progress.

               Exactly.  These are the options to be added to the NEXT poll.  Which will start on the first of the month.  There were just a lot of them, from various sources, so I wanted to make sure I got them all.  =)

               @henesua No worries.  Looking back over the first paragraph, I didn't really make it clear, did I?  Guess I should have waited a bit longer for that first cup of coffee to kick in.  *sassy grin*



In general:  *PLEASE* do get on my case if I'm not clear about something.



Starting with this next poll I'll be adding a comment that gives a brief summary of each theme.  I'm having trouble finding information on "Magi scrying devices, and wondrous miscellaneous items of power"  There is a note that is is from an idea that Styxx42 posted on NWNVault, but I can't seem to find anything.  Any insight / summary on this one??



Please pardon my "growing pains", I'm still trying to get the whole CCC thing organized versus a jumble of papers in a pile on my over crowded desk.  Suggestions for improvement and 'what the heck were you thinking!?' comments are most welcome.  



We probably do need to come up with some method to either combine themes (as Olivier pointed out a while back) or remove themes (*playful wink at FP and his airships*  perhaps ones that don't get any votes 2 months in a row?).

Well "scrying" is seeing in to the future (summed up). I have always felt this category (which I vote on typically) reffered to orbs, crystal balls, and other odd looking things that a wizard/sorc/magic user would have lying around thier room: Arcane symbols, rune stones, magic hovering brooms, animated objects, Augra's moving model of The Great Conjunction (read: the movie The Dark Crystal), you know those sorts of things. And everybody wants a room sized placeable of "The Great Conjunction" in there module. I can dream.':wizard:'


Also I wouldn't limit this to magic users, Gnomes are known for making wonderous items and machines.

               Another idea... what about belts and pelvis models that have the tools needed for a mage or a rogue? Would be nice to see some tiny pouches holding spell components, a spellbook, throwing knives, hangning vials, or some lockpicking tools.

               That might be a bit narrow?  If people do not know how to make clothing they would not be able to participate.  But hey, if you want it, I'll add it.  You know the drill... title and summary please.  This time I'll only ask for it once.  *eyes dancing*

               You're so bad...

I guess you could open it up to a theme on mages and rogues, but include the suggestion.

               Well Olivier, we should have listened to you more closely.  Turns out polls have a limit of 20 items.  So... which ones can we combine for next month?  '<img'>
