I like this idea, but what no one is mentioning is that a mage worth his salt will have up mage armor and shield, and you won't be hitting him very often with anything, especially if he has lots of Dex...As a third level fighter, you might need a natural to even hit him...

In an earlier thread, I posted about a setting I did not get done in time, called Land of the Giants, about a planet where the giants ruled and all the other races were just vermin to them. Thought it was interesting to see this thread after that post.

After all these replies, "no" still seems like the definitive answer...

Wow, Gene Wolfe and Greg Bear as writing instructors! Now I really am envious of you... (by the way, Gene said to tell you its okay to put the "e" back on the end of his name...alternatively, he said you could leave the "e" off of Monte...) ;)

Re: I'm one! That's the difference between writers and artists: writers are used to deadlines, artists are used to doing what they like when it pleases them. There are more starving artists than starving writers... ;)

Re: Combat more deadly... the simple solution... There are two things I think I would like to incorporate - armor not adding to AC but adding the same value as DR, and your idea of taking 1 pt of temporary CON damage per hit in melee, 2 pts for a critical hit. This will eliminate the...

I must be a risk-taker, I haven't played any of those - although my party is playing about half of them now...

Oh there were dozens, just not enough time. If they had allowed e-mail submissions, I would have had a lot... Waterworld, mostly water with islands of land-dwellers all fighting for every scrap of earth, while the water races have taken over most of the earth. This would use D20 ship rules and...

Sunder if it is a good idea for the bad guys always, bad guys already at a disadvantage unless they have many character levels anyway. Sunder especially characters wielding magic bows and large melee weapons, those characters typically don't carry back-ups for themand they will have to think for...

Re: Confrontation is GOOD!

What exactly is your point?

No.

One half of a form I have to read documentation for a living. So, after completing my entries, I noticed that the first three questions are pretty useless. In fact, most of what is special about your setting is question #6. It's the only place you can actually talk about what makes your setting...

A strong buy rating from me. Not as many illustrations as the first is my only complaint. Sometimes, you need them to understand the trap.

Left unsaid is why the PDF has to be three pages when it could easily be one. Oh well, hope it doesn't mean I need two stamps per envelope due to weight.

Gee, this request wouldn't have anything to do with a certain contest would it?

I am aiming at 100, as I can punch out 10 per day easily, unless I run out of ideas. I am a professional writer, and writing to spec is something I do all the time. I suspect most people will submit 1 though. This does have the aspect of a lottery, I think they are looking for fresh ideas more...

The way I'd do it is to parcel out all the entries, each "reader" gets an equal pile of them, and each one separates out 10 that they like. Then everyone gets together to find the best 10 of those...This would allow dispersal of workload, and ensure that higher-quality submissions get seen by...

Hey, can I use that one? That sounds like something the ubermenchs at Hasborg would love...

I think 25,000 is possible, based on what Monte Cook said about all the other places news of the contest has been spread to, there are a LOT of frustrated writer's out there...
