ARMS & ARMOR OPEN CALL

We're seeking to cram even more materials into the best weapons and armor book on the planet! Here are the original creations we're looking for (please do not submit Open Content):

1.) Weapon and Armor Qualities: New qualities to add to weapons & armor. They should be formatted *exactly* as they appear in the DMG.

2.) Class-Related Weapons & Armor: These are items unique to a particular class or prestige class. Other classes might be able to use them, but it will be obvious that they were designed for a specific class. Please include all of the information that you'd find in the DMG (including magical aura, caster level and requirements, market price, etc.

Submissions must be received no later than January 11th, 2004. Send submissions to: creech@bastionpress.com. Please include your full name and mailing address with your submission.

Submissions that do not meet the above criteria will not be considered for inclusion. Writers will be paid .02-.04 cents/word for their work. If we accept more then 5,000 words, you'll also receive a free copy of Arms & Armor v3.5.

Good luck!

Jim,

Sounds interesting. I don't quite understand #2. Are you looking for specific magic weapons and armor (like the holy avenger, rhino hide, et al) that are designed with a specific class in mind (again, like the holy avenger)?

?

And what are you wanting?

First Publication Rights?

All Rights?

 

[KingOfChaos]

To be safe, I wouldn't put anything you want to keep for yourself into your submission. I usually do that with all my work, though.

For instance, I wouldn't place the name of my favorite character into a spell name that I planned on sending in to be published because it would make my character the property of said company.

Exactly. All of those sound great. ;-)

All Rights?

We purchase all rights (and then release everything OGC).

We purchase all rights (and then release everything OGC).

And they purchase those rights in a timely fashion. Bastion is one of the companies to have your stuff published under.

Are you only looking for new magical qualities, or can new materials (along the lines of cold iron) and new weapons also be submitted?

We're primarily looking for the items I outlined, though we won't instantly just shoot down something that goes with what was in the original Arms & Armor.
