WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

Re: Re: I Noticed Something

There can be only one.

In all my past lives I've never been decapitated. I've been swallowed alive, drowned (twice), burnt at the stake, shot in the back of the head, and crucified, but never decapitated. If it's all the same to you, I'd rather forgo the honor.

The way I'd do it is to parcel out all the entries, each "reader" gets an equal pile of them, and each one separates out 10 that they like. Then everyone gets together to find the best 10 of those...This would allow dispersal of workload, and ensure that higher-quality submissions get seen by more than one person (people have their own prejudices and oddities, what one person hates another will love, etc.) That's how I would run it.

Any comments AV?

The WotC D&D website now has a bit talking about the new setting call for papers.

Art in one-page?

Greetings all-

I'll be submitting an idea, too, but here is my question to Zulkir: If it fits on the one page of the submission, is some eycatching art acceptable? I am a graphic designer and I have created a simple but effective logo for my setting and placed it at the top of the page as if it were a letterhead. Is this okay, or discouraged?

Thanks for your time, and for making yourself available to answer our questions.

Hmmm...

This is an excellent opportunity and one that I will take advantage of

 

[Rasyr]

I have no idea. We have a deadline to finish in that time period we will find a way to do it.

AV

OK, here is my question...

Everybody knows of the June 21st and July 3rd deadlines for the one page submissions, but have deadlines been set for the other phases of the search?

So, for those ten selected, is there a deadline for the submission of the ten page treatment? and one for the 100 page bible that the top three must produce? I have not heard, nor recall seeing one.

The submission guidelines document does list a date for the submission of the 10 pages (31 July, I think), and a date for when they will be decided upon. They do not list a date for the 100 pages.

I do find it interesting that this date put it in line for wizards to announce the 2nd stage winners at Gencon, and perhaps even show them off there.

Thanks, I missed that date.... I'll have to go back and reread it....

Who knows, that may have been the whole purpose behind the rigorous deadline schedule ( that and some good publicity to counter the negative generated by the Tom Federline debacle)

Re-read the information. It tells you when the submission date will be for the 10 page treatement and when they will make a decision on the top 3.

Finally, an opportunity for my Adult d20 fantasy campaign to (ahem) be exposed to a larger audience!

A world of half-orc dominatrixes and gnome love slaves ... (sigh) ...
