word count

Hmmm....just had Word count mine, and its 322, and that's including the questions and title. Of course, I still have some friends butchering it for me to ready my final draft.

Word Count

You know, I'm not sure how the heck some of you are condensing this submission into 200 to 400 word submissions, and still maintain a unique world with a decent level of complexity.

Complexity, in my mind, is what's needed to include the novels, CCG's, Miniatures, as well as a campaign setting. I guess I'm not understanding how you can possibly portray the complexity I feel is needed in one or two simple sentences per question.

Well anyways... that's my two cents. I have a feeling that the winners are going to be between 500 and 700 word count.

Well, I'm not going to tell you what I'm doing with my world...at least not until I find out I'm not in the running. However, I believe I've distilled the world down to its bare bones and still maintain its uniqueness.

Re: My god

1,231 words.

13 Paragraphs.

Themes galore.

Scary.




Advice anyone? I might send in two. One bare bones, and the other meaty.

Goodluck all.

1231 words!!! Sheesh, what size font are you using? 8? 9, maybe? Here's a suggestion....send a magnifying glass with it.

Let me guess...
a)you're writing it in binary
b)you've eliminated all vowels to reflect the unique language you've created for your world
c)you've attached a nice expensive little present for "Judy" (Julie???), the real brains behind the contest.

Dang! I knew I was forgetting something really important...

ARGH!!! My plans have been uncovered. Must go back and hatch new diabolical plan to get into the final round.

I've got it, torch their postal facility, but hand-deliver my entry!

mine is 804 words at 10.5 font. it's meaty, but is very readable. that count includes labelling the different sections.

Re: Silly question!

Long story short, would it be permissable to send in a duplicate copy as long as it is clearly labelled as a duplicate? I know the rule addendum was that one entry per idea, but it's not exactly the same. Moreso along the lines of just insurance that my submission actually gets there.

Or would this make too much work for "Julie"?

Thoughts? Comments? Any advice would be appreciated. I know this is a bit O.C.D. of me, but I can't help it.

One thing you can do that I do when i send in a submission to anyone is to include a postcard stamped and with your adress on it. On it write for the person handling the package to drop it into the mail. When the postcard arrives at your house, you can be pretty sure that your submission made it.

Re: FR Core Ethos Statement

I just can't resist.

"Welcome to the world of Faerun, a place of great heroes and stark evil, encompassing lands of magic, mystery, and high peril."

That's from the first line of page 5 in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting.


Sam

If this was a game of Battleship you would have come very close to my battleship. However that is not the core ethos of Forgotten Realms. Here is why:

"Welcome to Middle Earth, a place of great heroes and stark evil, encompasing lands of magic, mystery, and high peril."

Archimedes is close but he still missed.
