The theme for this month's challenge: "Weird Science":
  

Weird Science: Mad Scientist Lab Dressings, Strange Inventions and Specimens, Vivisections and other Creations (Mongrel Men, Owlbears etc)


 
This theme was suggested by Carcerian.
 
Guidelines:

  • It must be fully working in game.
  • Use of vanilla NWN or publicly available texture is fine.  Just remember that NWN textures must have dimensions in powers of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.).
  • Teamwork is welcome.
  • Beginners most welcome. Don't be afraid, just try, you'll be surprised!
  • "Custom Content" includes many sorts of things: models, scripts, prefabs (areas, items, creatures, conversations, quests, etc.), sounds, portraits, or anything else new for the game.
  • All submissions must be finished, working, and emailed to NWNCCCMakers@gmail.com (or a non-Vault link provided) by November 1st, 2014. Sooner than that is perfectly fine too. ;-)

Somethings you could include in the download/email that would make packaging everything up easier and faster:

  • 2da lines needed.
  • Screenshot from in game for use on the vault page (this also gives me hints on how to display the new goodie). Formats: .bmp, .jpg, .png, or .tga
  • Portraits (if needed) of your new goodie. Placeables and monsters should include a portrait.
  • Inventory icons (if needed) of your new goodie.
  • Any credits you would like listed.
  • If this is your first entry, please tell me what name you would like your work listed under and provide a link to your other NWN content if you want that displayed as well (the link bit is totally optional).
  • Also if you would like an invite to the CC Makers group, send Rolo Kipp a friend invite. The group is nothing spectacular, mostly just documentation on 2da lines.

Remember, the Challenge is all about fun, sharing, creativity, and surprise!
 
This thread is for all sorts of discussion about this month's theme: ideas for things to make, questions/concerns, announcement of what you intend to make, screenshots of work in progress and/or finished projects.  
 
If you want to discuss the Monthly Custom Content Challenge idea as a whole or wish to submit ideas/themes for future monthly Challenges, please post in its thread here

When submitting a new theme, please provide a title and short summary of the theme.
 
If you have a technical question about some custom content creation, please create a separate thread so that the answers can be found later by anyone, not just people interested in this Challenge. 
 
We'll try to help!
 
Have no fear and join the fun!
 
And finally, you can: 
 
Submit theme suggestions. 
Vote for November's theme.

To log in to vote is perfectly logical but to have to log in just to view the state of voting is not. When and why was it changed? You didn't used to have to be logged in to view the ccc polls. If you follow the link from here you will get a 404 error before you have a chance to log in. I am not on always on internet, I use a mi-fi.

 

Oh and the link on the front page is still for the October poll.

No, the theme is not specifically about the movie, tho the movie technically falls into the category...

 

Weird Science: Mad Scientist Lab Dressings, Strange Inventions and Specimens, Vivisections and other Creations (Mongrel Men, Owlbears etc)
 

It can also include the Mad-Scientist themselves, The contents of their Laboratories or Lairs, or any of their Bizarre Creations...

The old Expedition to the Barrier Peaks module had strong elements of sci-fi, and it might be a useful source of inspiration.

i took the liberty of looking up 'Mad Scientist' for D&D, quite abit showed up. One caught my attention for a tabletop version for a mad Scientist Class

 

it said they were both 3.5 edition rules, and came with both a prestige, and a normal class

 

Prestige Mad Scientist class

Normal Mad Scientist class

We totally need a Lab coat, if nothing else

I have some ideas brewing. Horrible ideas. Creatures that should not exist and have been brought into existence by the careless actions of someone who should know better

How about a 2 metre diameter glass eyeball? Being a sphere it should be both easy and eye (couldn't resist) catching. Or racks of different coloured eyeballs like in the picture I linked to in an earlier post?

Mad scientists theme? What about a "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide" set of evil/normal heads and assorted evil/angelic set of potions (love the old flick with Ingrid Bergman and Spencer Tracy).

Vivisections, especially of unusual monsters. Abberations (what mad scientist worthy of the title could resist monsters from out of space-time?), trolls (periodically applied flensing spell to a strapped down troll?), etc. pp.
