What's happened to your scrapped projects?

[kelson]

3 folders, and 2 boxes, in my computer room right next to my d&d books. I even have notes I took as a player, a box of campaign notes from an old dm who has quit playing, notes from when my wife DM'ed and even my dad's notes from when he played (most of which was 1E), I even have a couple of .txt files and some stuff stored on geocities. whats sad is that I rarely DM. i am trying to get back into it though, if I can get a good group together and start the creative juices flowing. winter seems to have frozen them as effectively as it has the rest of the world.

It sits on my PC, collecting dgital dust. I tossed a lot of hard copy stuff from the old days a long time ago.

Ditto, until my hard drive went kablooey.

Now it's just...gone.

 

[Stoat]

For the most part saved on my hard drive and backed up on CD. I had some stuff on 3.5 floppies, but gremlins got to it.

From time to time I re-enter those files. I'll scavenge a forgotten map, loot a few ancient names or carry a long-forgotten spell from the rubble.

No you haven't. You're HERE aren't you? I should report this to someone...

Sorry, let me clarify, I've sworn off 3.X D&D. It's my way of getting some breathing room so I'm not burnt out before 4th edition even hits the presses.

I think a lot of us have old half-finished campaign settings, half-written RPG products, and notes from old campaigns.

What have you done with that stuff?

A few scraps molder under the earth of a landfill in Massachusetts. Many keep company, rubbing paper shoulders in the cold dark of a storage space. A privileged few inhabit a cabinet in a land of painted pine. Rarer yet are the great entries that were scanned into imperishable electronic form.

I have incorporated/will incorporate them into my 'zine, One Thousand and One Nights and One Night.

And I've got plenty to draw from.

In any one of a dozen sketchpads, notebooks, file folders and computer files lie the ideas from and/or for any number of campaign and game ideas. From The Wizard of Oz and Fantasy Giant Robots to Traveller and Futurama, I never stop experimenting, designing and creating concepts for games that (hopefully) will all see use at some point.

So... many... good ideas...

C'mon, check the sig. Make the bet a worlder's place.

You know, when I saw this thread, and the author who started it, I figured it was going to be a pitch for your Great Hundred project. I'm just surprised it took you until post #48 to do it, although to be fair you did hint at it earlier.

I appreciate the shameless promotion of your project and will endeavor to dig up something and put it in the appropriate style.

I have a disturbing amount of gods* somewhere, I think.

* Ranging between "fundamental force of the multiverse" and "powerful thing for a humanoid tribe to worship in a mid-level adventure", generally.
