Yet More Question....
First Question - In the template form, does it need to be:
1. Core Ethos Sentance. [A sentence that describes the core ethos of the world. For example, FORGOTTEN REALMS is a world of sword-and-sorcery adventure, where heroes battle monsters with magic.] Pillow-Fight world, where blah blah.
or
1. Core Ethos Sentance. Pillow-Fight world, where blah blah.
or
1. Pillow-Fight world, where blah blah blah.
Second Question - May the title "Fantasy Setting Proposal Template" be erased or replaced by the title of the world one submits?

Fiend! You have stolen my idea, wherein the god Mandy gives without taking!
Now I will have to settle for my backup plan, Diamondland! " They comin to Althera, today!" Arriving in Copacabana, the hottest spot north of Hades, our heros meet Rico (who wears a diamond), Lola, and Tony. Fighting ensues, but our heros escape alive. Looks Like We Made It!
Re: Re: Morning
Yes, but since the orginal is available if we think seeing it in color will be significant then we can ask the admin to show the color version to us.
Can someone update the faq I'm starting to see the same questions.
Today's load wasn't too bad but I'm worried what the week will bring.

Question for Zulkir.
Anthony, is 8.1 pt. Ariel going to be a problem? If so, let me know and I'll trim it down and resend it. It didn't look bad at all to me but I get the feeling there might be some concern on your end.
Unfortunately, my computer was down until a few hours ago and I didn't have access to Quark. I was forced to use a friend's machine to get it out and all he had was WordPad... (Ariel seemed to be the only font he had that wasn't appalling in print or poorly kerned.)
Cheers,
A'koss.

Listen Up you primative screwheads
Like it or not, if this contest was ran 5 times with the identical entries there would be 5 different answers.
This is a lottery, the best setting will not win, just one of thousands. Since99.9999% of you are going to loose this anyway then here is what I suggest.
When the dust settles and the ONE is picked we all post our little one page settings here at enworld, lets shop these little wonders out to the third party crowd.
Lets make them pay for all the hard work they made us do, lets all publish our settings, screw the $120,000.00. Lets flood the D20 market with our entries, and then when thats all done lets meet in Times Square in New York City and show the world how 1000 newly published authers can PARTY!!!
Thats the dream anyway.
Goodluck

Zulkir-
Some gripes.
1) Why would it be acceptable for applicants to send duplicate copies, and why aren't the panel experts able to weed them out? If Wizards doesn't think this will be a problem, you can be rest assured many will send in 5,10,20 + duplicate proposals. Have fun.
2) Why wouldn't the experts also read cover letters in conjunction with setting proposals? I would think that many people will be able to submit acceptable proposals on one page, but can they project themselves professionally? How will Wizards know if they pass up dozens of proposals that were as good, or almost as good, as the ones they picked, only to find that the chosen can't prioritize or efficiently complete their setting?

1) hey, they wanna allow it, don't whine, just send in 10 of your own.
2) Because its blind. How many times do they have to say that? Besides, I think that the majority of those who can't prioritize or efficiently complete their setting will be weeded out by the fact they will either, not meet the deadline, or fail to follow instructions. By the majority of the questions here, I think alot of folks won't follow instructions well.

Re: Question for Zulkir.
Redo it. Since your computer is back up, do the page in a text editor or word processor. Don't worry about impressing folks with your layout skills, try communicating your ideas clearly. Wizards has people who do layout professionally, all you have to do is write professionally.
BTW, if you must do eight point type, use Chicago instead. That's what it was made for.

1) hey, I'm not whining. I was just wondering how they would be able to handle a large amount of duplicates.
2) I already knew it was blind. That's why I asked. You don't think 1000 fools with homebrews made long ago can't whip up a cover letter and send it out in 2 weeks?
