Why Did No One Tell me? Ultimate Toolbox!

[jim pinto]

New Contest

Okay.

Time for the final contest (that I'll be handing out). And this contest is for people who already own the Ultimate Toolbox.

The winner will receive a fist full of books from me. Anyone that has already won can tell you just how much STUFF comes in a FIST. I guarantee it's worth at least $250 (retail… your mileage may vary). You can make requests, but if I don't own it you can't have it.

The winner of this contest is the person that comes up with the best 20 chart combination for creating… anything.

Which 20 charts, in which order, would best create… an adventure, world, encounter, sandwich, monkey eye patch, 99-cent value menu, anything at all… for other owners of the UT to enjoy.

Are the rules clear enough? I fear if I provide an example, all I will get back are examples.

Contest ends on April 7 at midnight (or whenever I get back from the Megadeth concert).

Page 311 Tables 7-11 and 7-12 are listed as "Adventure Location" when they should be "Adventure Theme"!

When combined with tables 7-9 and 7-10 on the previous page A1/A2, you get an adventure location name (Plains of the King, etc).

And the "Uses for Gnomes" Table was left blank!

You try coming up with one, let alone twenty.

This is really an endeavor of love and it shows. Great work guys! I know I'll be making several copies of the plot outlines on page 358 and making frequent use of the city generator. I've been really impressed with those two sections of the book. And yep, the contacts section is awesome.

Overall, this is one of the best RPG purchases I've made. Every page has more than one gem of an idea and sections are bursting with creativity.

There's a review jim can sink his teeth into! Thank for the kind words, we're glad you are going to get tons of use out of it!

My bad.

You're right it would be a very "short" list.

Luckily, there's no right or wrong way to use any of these charts, so used as THEMES and not locations, is fine by us.

CONTEST ENTRY: Goblin Stew

Well, here's my contest entry... every D&D game eventually has the party come across some foul smelling concoction like a goblin stew. This table helps you answer the question: “So what’s in this stuff anyhow?”

How to make Tribal Name ‘s 2-74 Weeds 1 and Table 2-83 Pests stew:

Prepare a base of 5-40 Dungeon Liquids

Boil Useless Table One (Appendix) 2-77 Bugs 2 and a whole 3-73 Domestic Animal, imagining 6-100 Undead Substance bubbling in the pot.

Stir in 3-78 Basic Food and a pickled 3-82 Pickled Foods.

Last, add a handful of 4-94 Aquatic Plants which you’ll find 4-57 X Marks the Spot.

Whisk until 5-41 Dungeon Mysteries.
If it tastes like 5-67 Potion Tastes 1 the stew is ready to serve.

Finish it off with a pinch of 3-63 City Smells 2 and garnish with 6-75 Material Components 1. Pour into a Potion Container Descriptions 3.

If you’re expecting guests, double the recipe and add a pinch of 5-70 Poisonous Plants 1 and set a place with Outdoor/Wilderness Traps (Appendix)

Guaranteed to 6-49 Ritual Effects 1 and feed yer gut.

Fantastic. Exactly the kind of entry we are looking for... only perhaps, not about goblin stew.



Good work, Quickleaf.

Oh, that's classic! Using UT to create goblin stew. I love it!

I am looking into both questions for you.
