Theme suggestion for October -

Catacombs, Crypts, and Tombs. Who doesn’t remember their first crypt
crawl PnP adventure? The creepiness, the cobwebs, the stale air, and
the undead lurking in the dusty shadows of a lost forgotten mountain
tomb. Or was it the secret catacombs under a great city? The passages
went on for miles, and success simply meant escaping with your lives.
The bone piles, the macabre statuary, the grave markers in the floor and
walls, and the slowly dying torches that had you wondering if you’d
ever see daylight again. That old crypt tileset is looking very dated,
even the undead see it and simply sigh in longing for something better
to haunt. Even a handful or two of newly aged placeables could go a
long way to improving the unlives of the unliving.

Added to my list, 3RavensMore.

For those curious, I'm going to post the current state of the list I work from.  It's kind of long, but does stretch way back to the very start of the CCC...3 years ago!

For new/ theme suggestions in the polls, I tend to pick themes that either aren't closely represented in the current poll or aren't too similar to recently used monthly themes.

1st stage orphans (those that have gotten 0 votes one month) are sometimes brought back, but only when there aren't many unused new theme suggestions at the start time of a poll. If/when I do pick one of these to put back in the poll, I try to select one that adds variety to the poll options.

2nd stage orphans (those that have gotten 0 votes twice) just don't come back.

I stick to 13 options for every month's theme poll.  Plenty of options, but not unreasonable.  And 13 is just a funny number.

And...here's the list of themes, as of today (August 18, 2013):

Just in case anyone has missed out on grabbing any of the wonderful content produced by this challenge, the community site has a handy table of themes and links to every CCC theme thread and download page since the beginning, back in August 2010.



I also just started a CCC recruiting post on my PW's forum.  Many players are creative types that just haven't made anything for the NWN community before (or haven't been invited to try).  If they can open the toolset, they can use their creativity in practically any month's theme (prefabs galore!). :happy: 

I think we could get a lot of fresh ideas every month if other module/PW builders were to encourage their players to participate...maybe even entice a few to try their hand at scripting, texture/portrait editing, or even 3D model making.

@CabeGnome I think Christopher Robin might be upset if you catch one of his friends who just happens to have a spring in his tail (or should that have been Tiger as opposed to Tigger? ())

I condensed the theme suggestion a little and removed a "g" from there for when that makes it up to the poll.

[Tarot Redhand]

Just a thought that I had while checking through the list of themes - I don't suppose anybodies made a table (or something) of the contents that were finally submitted for each theme have they? Well there has been so much made now that it is easy to forget what is where.

I built and maintain a CCC page on the NWN Community Site, which links to every theme's forum thread and submission page.  It's probably the closest thing you'll get...unless you want to build and maintain a table yourself to keep track of every piece of content that's been made.

And if you wanted to make something like that, say in an Excel file, I can turn it into a webpage linked from that one so everyone could reap the benefits.

[Tarot Redhand]

So now that I've made that list, how long before it is up on that site you mentioned AD? Also what are the rules governing incorporating selected items from the ccc into other cc projects. There are a few things in various months submissions that I think are a shoe-in for the Spelljammer setting's haks.

It could take several weeks for me to post your list on the community site.  Or...it could be online now. http://www.neverwint...info/cc_ccc.htm

I added the information to the theme listings, rather than making a whole other page.  Just click on the little plus/minus symbol at the end of each theme's row.

You can use CCC stuff in other custom content projects.  I just wouln't "re-release" content as if it's something new.  I'd say just mention something like "Awesome Object (placeable model) by AwesomeCCPerson, from the July 2133 CCC" in the credits.

[Tarot Redhand]

 I have decided to put a de-bugged version of the excel workbook (and a csv version for those that would like to include it in a database) on here in a project. The reason being to allow for easy searching of the different things that have been included in the ccc over the years. This is not meant to clash with AD's web page, just to make finding the wanted item(s) easier. In order to emphasise the lack of desire to detract from AD's work I will not be maintaining this list. It contains all the ccc's from the start up to August 2013. The excel spreadheet contains three worksheets. These have been sorted by different columns - Date/Theme, Creator and Item. The List can be found here.

Thank you AD for the clarification on the matter of inclusion of ccc stuff in other haks.

Hey "Amethyst Dragon." I'm absolutely loving your Wild Woods Troll!
It looks very nice, if a bit creepy too. Got to LOVE... the green eyes too, it fits right in with the wild woods tileset, and could be used in other forest areas too I feel.

I found it listed on this page at N.W. vault
http://nwvault.ign.c....Detail&id=8212

I wanted to download it, and have a play around with in the toolset as I thought it might be in the form of a hak file.
But unfortununately, I only find .TGA files, one .mdl and one .txi file.

To make a proper hak, I know there must be other files included, like an "apperance 2da" for one, but I don't really know what to put on a new line in there, except for a name in the first column.

Does anyone out there know how to make this into a proper hak file please, so that I can play around with it  in the toolset at my leisure?

[The Amethyst Dragon]

Friend request sent. Send me a PM (or email me at: nwn@amethyst-dragon.com) and I'll reply later this afternoon with a quick hak for just the troll so you can use it in the toolset and see how the files and 2das lines are used.

[The Amethyst Dragon]

Evidently the BSN forums will soon stop hosting polls, blogs, projects, etc. so...

Polls: I'll find another online source that will host polls starting with the theme for January. December's poll will just have to be counted when they switch to read-only (Nov. 19th).

Projects: Some people upload their CCC contributions through hosted projects. How about those folks just switch to emailing in their contributions? Easy to do and more than half of the contributors already do so. If an update needs to be made after sending, just resend and tell me to use the newer version.

Winter Holidays

How about a Christmas tree that attacks the PC if he tries to cut it down?  Perhaps a one-horse open sleigh, a flying sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer, a giant, bulging sack with presents sticking out the top. A 'santa' outfit. Santa caps. A placeable manger. A placeable star with streaming light. Placeable icicles. How about a candy cane weapon?  Symbols of other winter holidays, like a menorah or yule log.

Suggested by Pstemarie & Frith5

[The Amethyst Dragon]

Orcs/Half-orcs:

Let's get some new stuff for the iconic evil foes of elves and dwarves. Additional orc models, new orc weapons (melee, ranged, siege), orcish armor and helms for PCs to wear, new orcish and half-orcish body parts for PC/NPC half-orcs (male and female, and new heads are sorely lacking compared to elves, dwarves, etc.), placeable orcish structures and objects, orc-themed spells, orcish magical and mundane items, orcish artworks, recordings of orc love ballads (well, maybe not this one), or whatever else might flesh out orcs of various worlds.

Seconded! For reasons that are obvious if you look at my sig.

[Jenna WSI]

Suggested Theme..

Did they send us daughters, when we asked for sons?
NWN has a plethora of stuff for women, but men don't often get the love. We could use more clothing options for men and additional heads or other manly items.

[Wall3T]

maybe thats why jenna. its nice to have that "god of war" style attire or weaponery, but what about the casual gentleman? i feel he often gets left out in a sea of spikes

[Bluebomber4evr]

 Another suggestion:

The Known World of Mystara: Mystara, also known as "the Known World of D&D" was the default setting of "Basic" or "non-Advanced D&D" and the home of such classic modules as B3: Palace of the Silver Princess, B5: The Lost City, and X1: Isle of Dread. Content can be of classic Mystaran creatures such as the decapus, archer bush, pegatuar or athach; new player race models such as the rakasta, lupin and tortle; flags and banners and such from Known World nations such as Karameikos, Alphatia, and Glantri; altars and holy symbols for Mystaran Immortals; or miscellaneous placeables/tilesets based on Alphatian airships, statues of famous NPCs or Immortals, prefabs based on classic magic items or classic dungeon settings, and more!

[Snugglehoof]

 A Song of Ice and Fire / A Game of Thrones:
content inspired by both the book series and tv show. Everything from equipment and armor of the Seven Kingdom such as the Armor of the Kingsguard and Greater Houses, Master Chains, the Helmet of the Hound, or Eddard's blade Ice; tilesets to replicate Kingslanding and the Wall; clothing options of the westerosi and foreign fashion; creatures such as the Whitewalkers and Others; placeables like the Iron Throne, the carved map table of Dragonstone, the green flames of the Wildfire, or the corpses of the aftermath of the RW.  

[Tarot Redhand]

I would suggest that the last one is of very limited appeal as (at least here in the UK) that tv show is only available via pay tv (sky in the UK). I for one have virtually zero knowledge (and therefore the same amount of interest) of that show. From what I understand, its all pretty much Machiavellian anyway.

[Shemsu-Heru]

Here in Spain, the first and the second season of GOT were emitted in one of the free channels...

[Mecheon]

Game of Thrones is stupid popular everywhere, paid channels be damned

I mean, I know nothing about it, but if I hear about something like that from my co-workers then I know yes, that's popular
