[QUOTE="sunmaster, post: 4504109, member: 54722"] Hi, I want to participate in the Open Scenario Call of Paizo but I don't know what they really want from the fan writers. It is written that we should write 700 words about the next scenario. But the outline is already given. For example for the number 17: This outline is similar to the outlines of already available-for-sale scenarios. For example here for the number 3: Then in the Open Call there is a section description for 7000 words at the bottom of the Open Call. And it is written that we should keep it in mind while writing our 700 words. If I read the outlines of the already published scenarios - for example of number 3 which I have quoted above - then I cannot understand how this outline can in any form determine the 7000 word article: meaning, you could, beginning from the outline, very well write something consisting of 70k words - or even 70M words - but also only 1000 words. So, again my questions: a) The outlines for #17 and #18 are already written - at the bottom of the Call - . And the outlines for both are already similar to the published scenarios. What should _we_ write then? b) What do I have to really think about when keeping in mind the 7000 word sections while writing my 700 words? How do the 700 words influence the 7000 words and vice versa? Can someone explain this to me, please? I can think that there are more people who are confused by the Open Call and the explanation could help them, too. regards sunmaster EDIT: Ahh, maybe we should section our 700 words as given at the bottom of the Open Call!??! But then the word counts of Intro (1,000) Encounter #1 (750) ... Conclusion (500) Faction Missions + Summary (1,900) Extra words (345) don't make sense ??? [/QUOTE]
