Open Call for a charitable product

[Warlord Ralts]

The Brood is posting an open call for a product.
That mean you.
We need artists, editors and submissions.
Oh, yeah, for what.

First, let me tell you this, it's nonprofit. That's right, none of us will be making a damn dime off of this. The money will go to Girl Scout 2399 of Washington to fund thier annual trip to the big Girl Scout thingy. This will supplement cookie sales, car washes and the dunk tank at the various local festivals.
Second: This will be a "grab-bag" of stuff, mainly for GM's, involing both Modern and Fantasy d20 material. So, buff up the fun stuff, the serious stuff, or the tongue in cheek stuff.

Needed: Writers, cartographers, editors, artists, & people with nothing better to do.

GOBLIN SCOUT TROOP 2399
A grab bag of fun for every GM.
Estimated Table of Contents:

Chapter 1: Mayhem & Pillaging Merit Badge
Tactics, unusual weaponry for the short guy. Perhaps a sample village or modern lair for Goblins

Chapter 2: Cheap Groin Shot Merit Badge
Fighting feats specializing in cheap shots, variant skill use for bizarre stuff.

Chapter 3: Snatching Shiny Stuff Merit Badge
Magic items. Unique, powerful, or just plain crappy and silly.

Chapter 4: Cookie Selling Merit Badge
Spells, natch.

Chapter 5: Pushing Little Old Lich's into the Street Merit Badge
Psionics

Chapter 6: Goblin Scout Master
PrC's, advanced classes, natch.

Chapter 7: Friendly Scouts
Variant goblins

Chapter 8: The Troop
A couple of NPC's, statted out. Perferably in a twisted Girl Scout Troop motif.

Suggestions would be appreciated.
LOL

Let's give it a shot.

Submissions should be emailed to: ralts@willapabay.org

[Scorpio]

Could be some fun, and for a good cause. I've sent my info to you.

[NarlethDrider]

Sounds like fun. I'll be willing to help.

Thanks Scorpio & NarlethDrider, your prompt reply and offer are very appreciated.
Like I said above, not even I'm making a dime off this, but the nice thing that I almost overlooked, is the fact that the Girl Scout Troop leader didn't even blink and eye, and as a matter of fact, was worried that we'd be putting ourselves out, or causing ourselves a lot of difficulty.
I kinda view this as good PR for our hobby and kinda/sorta livelyhood.


About all I'll be able to offer is a signed thank-you from the Girl Scouts that this product will help send to thier Jamboree.

[XCorvis]

Haha, I find the concept of charity RPG material for Girl Scouts highly amusing. What do the girls think of it?

[Scorpio]

I see it as a great op to work up some amusing and creative stuff...You want something for a village/and or Goblin cave? If so, give me a couple of days...what size and format you prefer? Greyscale or color?

[Warlord Ralts]

My daughter (Who is one of the Girl Scouts eligble to go) thinks it's neat, and so do the others, since they know I'm already doing RPG stuff.

The village and/or cave should be greyscale (I'd like to say both, one for the easy to print version, on for the cool looking screen version) and fullpage.

[Scorpio]

Got you covered. All that's left to know is do you want it labeled, and do you have a deadline?

[Warlord Ralts]

Hmmm, labels or numerals?
That's tough. Let me think on that one...
Deadline is at least 2 months out, maybe three...

[Scorpio]

Cool.Well let me know, and I'll take care of it.;)

[NarlethDrider]

This is possibly a stupid question, but what's the target audience of this product? Will my art need to be geared toward young girl scouts? OR can I do a 'darker' version?

[Warlord Ralts]

This isn't geared at the girlscouts, so I don't expect rainbows and fluffy bunnies.
Still, try to keep it reasonable. No diagrams on how to disembowl a hooker with a breadknife and accompanying step by step illustrations, but a human getting melted by a goblin sorcerer is perfectedly acceptable.
So, I guess it depends upon your definition of dark...

[yangnome]

will work for girl scout cookies...or perhaps a brownie????


Hhmm...I'll have to see what I can come up with...

[Deadlar]

Heyya Warlord. Are you still takeing submissions for this? I've got a Illio all done up but I want to play with it in Pshop a wee bit before I send it out.
