Custom Content Challenge: June 2013: Oldschool
« on: June 01, 2013, 10:12:07 pm »


               This month's challenge is "Oldschool":

Anything from 0e (chainmail, blackmoor, greyhawk, etc suppliments), Judges Guild, Content from Articles from gaming magazines (such has White Dwarf, Dungeon, Dragon, Polyherdron, The Stragegic Review, The Oerth Journal), Basic/Expert/Companion/Master/Immortal Rules, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1e and 2e, the Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon, DnD Toys/Figurines/Boardgames and anything else that didnt make it into 3.0. Could also be things based off earlier version artwork, say 1st edition such-and-such monster, things from illutrations by classic artists like Erol Otus, Jeff Dee, and the rest...


This theme was suggested by Carcerian.

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 July 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!

If you have concerns/questions about this month’s Challenge please post in this thread.

If you want to discuss the Monthly Custom Content Challenge idea as a whole or wish to submit ideas/themes for future monthly Challenges, please post in its thread here.
***When submitting a new theme, please provide a title and short summary of the theme.***

If you have a technical question about some custom content creation, please create a separate thread so that the answers can be found later by anyone, not just people interested in this Challenge. We'll try to help!

Have no fear and join the fun!

And finally, you can:

Submit theme suggestions.
Vote for July's theme.

               <falls over backward...>

I think that's the single shortest post you've ever made, dear dog =)
Not wrong, of course, but hideously short. Perhaps you could loan Big Purple a brick?

<...laughing>

               @Rolo, with 20+ modules, etcetera on the go I am amazed PHOD had the time to write that much ('^_^'). (108 placeables left to fix at time of posting). Also, why not do that creature (the BB) I sent you details of (a good while ago now)  for this challenge, those stats were for AD&D 1e you know.

Final vote totals in the June poll finished with 8 votes for Oldschool and 7 votes for Technomancy (complete final votes in comments after the poll).

Often a few people will vote at the end of the month, and the quoted numbers were from 2-3 days before the end of the voting period.

               @AD, what surprised me was that during a seven day period during the middle of the month everything had at least one vote cast which I found very odd.

Over the last (almost) 3 years this thing has been running, I've found it is actually quite common for every option to pick up at least one vote each month. How long have "Arcane Space" and "Surprise Me" have been lingering on the list?

               What I was talking about was that there wasn't a single one that didn't have a vote. At least in recent months there have been 3 or more (I think) with zero votes. BTW as far as I can remember arcane space has had at least 3 votes every month (and I can guarantee at least one vote for it until either it makes it or my hands drop off('^_^')).

               I've been keeping elementals up due to the fact I am a Warcraft fan and love what they do with the elementals in that game

Anywho, I'm gonna pre-emptively request the Flumph because of the aformentioned Bogleech link

I might try my hand at a Flumph, just because it sounds ridiculous, and I like ridiculous things. '=]'
