Hmmm...what's an appropriate font size for this type of thing. I'm a bit over using size 10...

It's a "Who Wants To Be Ed Greenwood?" competition.

I'd be suprised if Ed ever got anything more than a Minimum Wage job and a chance to despised and loved by roleplayers everywhere.

I'm suprised they're offering so much. Especially in this industry.

Marvel got Wolverine from some kid for nothing more than a single issue of noteriety and probably a signed comic book.

It sure would be fun to see the top 100 or so entries (with names attached).

At least we can have a thread here where those of us who are willing can post their non-winning stage 1 entries.

Now to find time to polish this thing...

On a mac use 10, on a PC use 12. Anything smaller is by most standards hard to read, anything bigger (why would you want to) and the reader ussually feels insulted.

[BIt's a blind submission. They won't be looking at author's names--a very admirable way to do it, I think.[/B]

It may be blind, but if a well known home campaign showed up I think everybody would know who it came from.

Re: Still answering

Folks,



Regarding d20 Modern - no we are not interested in submissions for d20 modern only D&D. And no we are not limited to Eurocentric. Medieval should be read as a time period or a technology level not a cultural or geographical location.

If iunderstand right

It means a technological standard/standard of cultural development.
Is Feudalism a must or is an bureacratic administration acceptable?

like the following
Antice

Mesopotomian Sumer or Babylonian/Assyrian hetites
Classical Roman Greece Carthagian
The time of the indoeuropean migrations

The dark ages after the fall of rome
Gothic Italy, francs-Gauls, britannia
East Rome
bycanz - Persian.

India in the rajput or the maharabvedian times, or the chandruguptijan times


a finnish setting maybe like the kalemvala.

Is the benning of the renaissance, the time whrer the MA ends and the time of reason develops in the range.

I would suggest reading the answers again. What you quoted answers your question above specifically. It means a time and technology only. It does NOT mean cultural. It does not mean geographic.

If you can write a telepathic democracy so that it feels medieval using only medieval technology, then it works. If you can only think of a Fuedal world where cybernetic dogs keep the peace, it's out.

Non-Eurocentric is OK? Rats! Where was this contest 6 months ago? I mean, I'm happy with my publisher and everything, but wow they are offering a lot of money. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Part of me REALLY likes the idea of being up against Monte, Bruce, Sean, or Chris or any of the other award-winning professionals who may be sending in their own little one-page proposals. It's making me take the time to thoroughly polish and prepare my proposal.

Nothing like going up against the best to make you better, or so my old wrestling coach used to say.

So, to all of you, I say good luck.
