Hmmm, Dwarven stuff would be good too. Or Orc stuff, or halfling...

Amethyst Dragon, would you consider diluting your entry a tad to Player Race enhancements? Or some such?

I,
of course, wouldn't dream of twisting your arm *eyes those mighty
limbs*, but it might draw in creators who want to make things for
dwarves or gnomes or whatever and don't care too much for the Fae
Folk...

<...and the specific>

I'd say leave the elven theme as is. For such an integral part of many fantasy worlds, there's remarkably little content out there geared toward them.

Gnomes and halflings had their month last spring.

I could see adding a theme for dwarves though. Like elves, they are a big part of many worlds. My brain just isn't working well enough right now to come up with a good summary with suggestions of things that would fit (because I like to include a few ideas for a variety of content makers with my theme suggestions)..

Happily Ever After...
Fairy tale theme. From our favourites to obscure lore, no limits on this. Could be expanded to include actual fairies and monsters from myth. Jabberwocky anyone?

I like this theme, but could we change the title? Please? I hate the title. How about any of the following:

• Fairy Tales
• Fey Folk, Witches, and Goblins
• Hansel and Gretel et al
• Content for the Brother's Grimm

and add on something like:
"While traditional european faerie tales are the focus of this challenge, a wider interpretation is welcome. For example drawing inspiration from modern works such as Alice In Wonderland, or the Wizard of Oz is not only appropriate but encouraged."

@ TAD: I hear you :-) And was waffling about the little folk just for that.
But Cestus is *on* me about dwarves and, well, you might imagine how much he wants to make "pretties for them prissy, fickle..."<boss!> Whoa! Sorry. Shameful a cleric knows such language ;-)

Solution: Make *him* come up with a dwarven theme to complete...<boss, already done. it's in the poll. one vote>
... L.I.B.!

Ok, so, TAD... disregard my last =)

@ Henesua: I hear you, too :-) If Jenna has no objection, I'll change the title to Folk Tales & Myths and add your paragraph to the description.

How's that sound?

Rolo - its not my entry. The choice is Jenna's.

But I would very much like to see some Faerie Tale content in a challenge. Like a model of Blue Beard. Or the Goblin Market. Talking fish. A dozen better fairy models to improve upon the travesty of that pixie model.

[Jenna WSI]

I don't mind changing it... I prefer "Folk Tales, and Myths" out of those

[Rolo Kipp]

 <starts loading up a...>

Sounds like a plan, then :-)

I'm mildly interested in building up the Monkey King <he's an old pal of his>.

Hey! Maybe Baba Yaga will finally get that chicken-walking house and flying cauldron...!

<...really *big* bag of feed>

[henesua]

As long as this doesn't result in Greek Mythology, Disney, or a combination of the two I'm happy.

[Rolo Kipp]

<makes big...>

But the little centaur girls were sooooo cute! <he still dresses up like dionysus, sometimes...>

<...eyes at henesua>

[henesua]

Stop Fantasia-eyesing this!

[Jenna WSI]

Well disney stories have been based of original myths/fairy tales, but the non-disney versions are much better.

Hey now, what is wrong with Greek mythology?  *blatantly sasses henesua*

[Jenna WSI]

Better be careful, or Lass may end up making something inspired by Disney's Hercules.

Mmmmmm....Megara.

I always considered the easiest way to get better fairies was to just use the Brownie model and the flying phenotype

Issue is having to convert over all of the custom armor and robes I use, especially because I use Project Q and all...

[Shemsu-Heru]

I would like to suggest some themes:

About music, bard's stuff or arts in general...

There is some classical D&D campaigns that i think don't have to much representation in NWN.

Dark-Sun, Ravenloft, or Dragonlance...

[Shemsu-Heru]

Let my to explain my ideas:

Bard's stuff and Arts in general:

Adding new musical instruments, in 3d or just 2d items, artistic tools, placeables of artistic equipment for painters, sculptors, etc...

standard weapons should not be adequate for this content but maybe something exotic or especially design for bards could be, like the rapier-pistol...

maybe some tileset of an artistic studio....

Clothes, and other stuff....


Dark-Sun content maybe someone else had suggest that before:

Adding weapons, there is many weapons specific of this campaign, Armors, like the chitin armor, creatures, Athas have a lot or unique creatures, Dark-Sun races like Half-giants, Athas elves, Muls, new heads in the style of Dark-Sun camping art; The dragon of Tyr which looks quite different of any other dragon in D&D, Dark-sun Dragon kings, Dark-Sun classes, Templars, wild psionic, preservers and profaners. Tilesets for the Athas backgrounds, like rock and salt desert, the dust sea, etc...

[Jenna WSI]

How do you guys feel about a Victorian, Ravenloft, and Steampunk theme rolled into one?

[Jenna WSI]

Anything clothes related would be the best thing ever.

Yes Victorian clothes would be nice (I think that Lisa had made a nice 1900s dress), and What about renaissance clothes? Just like in Ravenloft are many cultures and thecnological levels between the Domains; many variate stuff would be added....

Ok, I'll add these to the next poll (for April's theme):

Bards and Artists:
New musical instruments, artistic tools (placeables & items) for painters, sculptors, etc...
Exotic or especially design weapons and gear for bards, like the rapier-pistol. An artist studio (painter or sculpter) tiles. Eccentric Clothes <artsy -fartsy> Stop that, Bother.

Dark-sun:
Weapons & armor specific to Dark-sun, like the chitin armor. Creatures specific to Athas, like Half-giants, Athas elves, Muls, new heads in the style of Dark-Sun camping art; The dragon of Tyr which looks quite different of any other dragon in D&D, Dark-sun Dragon kings. Dark-sun specific classes, like Templars, wild psionic, preservers and profaners. Tilesets for the Athas backgrounds, like rock and salt desert, the dust sea, etc...

<adding a few...>

I'm very interested in giving credit where credit is due. I'm also pretty passionate about giving some sort of perk to those people who willingly <and perhaps insanely> contribute so much time and skull-sweat into the CCC <he also likes to tweak people's noses ;->

*Ah-hem* As that may be, I'm starting something new in the CCC for 2012. I'm putting the creators in the demo mods. Well, their avatars, actually.



If you're the sort of Maker who's a bit too busy to make your own avatar (come on, haven't we *all* thought about how we'd look in-game <with a suitable make-over and buff-up, of course>?), don't worry. *I'll* make up something =)

Of course, I'll have a little fun with it, but that's what you get for leaving it to the Prankster Wizard.

<...finishing touches>

*Grinning like an idiot.* Ohhhhhh. Look at that pretty Golden Dragon Award badge next to our Vault name. Well done everyone!

[Rolo Kipp]

 <giving a stern look...>

I'm not terribly happy with my workflow on Rogues. I took way to long to get the stuff together and out where people could grab it.

I'll be trying something different with Oriental Additions. Hopefully it will go something like this:

Phase 1: Having received all the source files, I will organize and release the Builder's Source Archive v0 (pre-release). It's not v1 because I still haven't got it combined and working in game, so I don't know what changes need doing. (1 week)

Phase 2: All content is combined in the theme hak v0 (demo incomplete, some adjustments may be needed). Source is upgraded to v1 (release). (1 week)

Phase 3: All content working in Demo v0. Hak is upgraded to v1. Demo v0 is made available to content contributors for evaluation (1 Week).

Phase 4 (just in time for next theme :-): Demo is released v1.

So, the Oriental Additions Builder's Source Archive v0 should be out by the end of *next* weekend. This way, eager beavers can at least get their grubby little paws on stuff :-)

What do you  think?

<...completely ruined by the twinkle in his eye>

[The Amethyst Dragon]

Whatever works best for you. It's gotta be a lot of work just organizing everything that comes in while trying to herd cats (err, custom content makers) into at least the semblance of a direction.

I know I'd be happy with at least the source files, since I always have to merge things into my own haks anyway.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do on my submissions (besides get them in earlier) to make the process easier on your end.

Just because in this month challenge Drows aren't allowed; I Would like to suggest a CCC focused on Drows. That could included:

Creatures: related with drows like the draegloth, yochlol, web golem, drow mounts (spiders, lizards), etc. Even some overwrites of the no dynamic drows in the aurora tollset would be nice...

Drow equipment: Armors, clothes, weapons, etc....

Drow placeables.....

Drow tilesets: We have some underdark tilsets, but i would like to have a truly original Drow city, no a reskin of an elven city or any other existing tileset; With stalagmites and stalactites buildings in the style of AD&D manual "Menzoberranzan"....

Drow heads also could be nice; for example we don't have to much elf female heads, that could work well for a drow matron....
