This month's challenge is "Folk Tales & Myths"
Fairy tale theme. From our favorites to obscure lore, no limits on this.
Could be expanded to include actual fairies and monsters from myth. Jabberwocky anyone? While traditional european faerie tales are the focus of this challenge, a wider interpretation is welcome.
For example drawing inspiration from modern works such as Alice In Wonderland, or the Wizard of Oz is not only appropriate but encouraged.
This theme was suggested by
Jenna WSIOnce again, the possibilities for content types are pretty open; NPCs, Creatures, Items, Tiles, Effects, Animations, Sounds & Scripts.
Guidelines:
- It must be fully working in game.
- Use of vanilla NWN or publicly available texture is fine, though state-of-the-art amateur's work would require 100% original work, but that's up to you.
- Teamwork is welcome.
- Beginners most welcome, don't be afraid, just try, you'll be surprised!
- All submissions must be finished, working, and emailed to me (NWNCCCMakers @ gmail.com) or a non-Vault link provided by April 2nd, 2012 (which is a Monday) at 10 AM EST. Sooner than that is perfectly fine too. ;-)
Some things you could include in the download/email that would make packaging everything up easier and faster (otherwise I will just pester you with questions!):
- 2da lines needed.
- Screenshot *from in game* for use on the vault page (this also gives me hints on how to display the new goodie).
- Portraits (if needed) of your new goodie. ** Placeables and monsters should include a portrait. **
- Inventory icons (if needed) of your new goodie.
- Any credits you would like listed.
- If this is your first entry, please tell me what name you would like your work listed under and provide a link to your other NWN content if you want that displayed as well (the link bit is totally optional).
- Also if you would like an invite to the CC Makers group, send Rolo Kipp a friend invite. The group is nothing spectacular, mostly just documentation on 2da lines.
- If you are doing tileset content, *please* let me know ahead of time so I can get you the set and itp files to work with. I’m horrible at merging those so this bit you will need to provide.
Remember, the Challenge is all about fun, sharing, creativity and surprise!
