This is the part that sends the sirens off in my mind. ;) Especially the free

Great, this doesn't sound like me at all. Maybe I misunderstood the question. As in all of them. ;) 1. Sartre (100%) 2. Nietzsche (96%) 3. Hume (82%) 4. Spinoza (76%) 5. Stoics (69%) 6. Prescriptivism (62%) 7. Kant (61%) 8. Epicureans (60%) 9...

Hey everyone! Amidst all the discussion of WotC contest, and all the other stuff has recently made me miss gaming. My group broke apart a few years ago (one joined the navy, one went to college, one moved away & the rest scattered) and I've only played a one-nighter or two since, and I REALLY...

I agree with the Ninja! I'm really surprised DL isn't doing much better! It was the best gaming world, IMO. At least until they goofed it with 5th Age..... But we like to pretend that little 'Summer Flame' thing never happened at my gaming table.

Actually... I'd be willing to bet a lot of folks got inspired by this contest and began to write the Great Fantasy Novel. I've been a closet writer for several years (squat published, squat finished, I jump around alot) and my game idea actually came from my old novel that I haven't dusted off...

Hey! I wasn't aware Wendy & Richard Pini bred. You sure you meant the original Elfquest publishers?

Of course. Yes, and Yes. Not going to say which ones. IMO, there is no such thing as a new, fresh idea. It's simply in how you spin it. Was FR original? Not really. Dragonlance? Try again. Ravenloft? Heck no. Greyhawk? *snort* But it's all in how you spin it. I'm hoping WotC likes my...

To quote the website: ************************* The New Fantasy Setting Search Second Round Delayed Due to Overwhelming Response Due to the extraordinary response to our search for a new fantasy setting, Wizards of the Coast will push back the date for initiating the second round of...

Ya! Exact same thing, Mir! "They'll really like it!" "Gack, this isn't original! Why did I send this crap?" Over and over and over and over again.....

As a side note... To the folks that were discussing the 50% taxes on your 'winnings'. I actually do accounting for a living, and if, according to the way they're describing this, was a prize, then yes, you would pay an enormous amount of taxes on this. However.... You are contracting for...

Besides, it's not Anthony V. et al that's going to be sending out the 'rejection' letters. It's going to be poor Christina once more, looking up 10-thousand email addresses..... Someone send that girl flowers already!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: aaaarrrrrgggghhhh I'm going by what was posted on the Wizards website. Not necessarily rejection letters per se, but you WILL be notified of whether or not you were picked. Obviously if they are sending the same letter out to everyone, and it lists the winners, and you...

Re: Re: Re: aaaarrrrrgggghhhh Ok, now we need everyone to start posting when they get their rejection letters :) I'm curious as to how soon/what format they'll be using. The entire contest just intrigues me.....when I get my letter I'll slap it up.

I voted for Rangers, just because you can't throw a stone without smacking 4 rangers in the back of the head. They're waaaay too common. But now that I think about it, I hate monks. Y'all are right--the majority of people that play monks that I've ran into (and I say MAJORITY, not all) are...

Naw, I like hearing about what everyone is thinking. Y'all may think I'm crazy, but I'd rather hear what everyone's thoughts are than sit at home and not hear anything about it for weeks. It helps ease the pain of waiting. ;) On a side note, the Texas Lottery is up to $70 million tonight, so...

Hmm Says it on the WoTC webpage also. >>>>>>>>>>>> All initial proposals must: 1. be covered with a signed, unmodified copy of the Idea Submission Agreement; 2. include an accompanying cover letter with contact information; 3. be structured in accord with the initial proposal template; 4...

Wow, that sucks. I honestly cannot remember what order mine was in. I assumed that it wasn't of huge importance simply because the admin gets it first, and seperates it all. They did mention they've only thrown out 10% so far, however. I sincerely doubt they'll axe a potential simply because...

Re: Re: Story Line . . . ? I didn't name mine either -- I couldn't find anything catchy enough that would be a perfect summary for it, and would make me flip over to run to get it. I did name my world, but that's about as far as I got. And hooray for the South!

212 now. I considered voting for my friend, who sent off a proposal, but he doesn't read these boards, so *shrug*. It'll be interesting to see how high they get. If we get over 5K on this board alone, then we know they're being deluged. ;)

I struggled with the same thing! I'm an aspiring novelist, and my 'setting' was actually the world that my fantasy novel (or trilogy, depending on how long it runs) is currently staged in. The 'main' characters were picked long ago, the races, backgrounds, classes, etc, all have been swimming...
