This month's challenge is "Plants":
Plants set the stage in most D&D games, from lush jungles to parched desert to twisted dark forests. Ruined buildings covered in vines, yew trees (gotta make longbows from something), farm fields with crop circles, animated giant carnivorous plant creatures (or placeables), new plant creatures, triggers for around exotic flowers that inflict special pollen-based effects on characters, spells that affect plants or summon walls of dense vegetation, sounds of wind blowing through a forest's trees, an improved visual effect for Entangle, new plant visual effects, prefab quests that involve finding/harvesting/saving/destroying/etc. some sort of rare plant, prefab plant placeables that can be sources of fruit or rare sap needed for the king's nightly drink, a tileset set completely attop a giant tree (or several giant trees) where the ground is not visible below.
This theme was suggested by The Amethyst Dragon.
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 NWNCCCMakers@gmail.com (or a non-Vault link provided) by March 1st, 2013 at 10 AM EST. Sooner than that is perfectly fine too. ;-)
Somethings you could include in the download/email that would make packaging everything up easier and faster:
- 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!
