Re: The Dark Temple CONTEST ENTRY THREAD
You needn't worry. The Dark Temple will be CS2, and will definitely be in print. The second contest, The Pit, did not yield a "usable" dungeon, and I blame myself for how I designed the contest; Dark Temple went back to the same model as Castle by the Sea, which was very successful (in my opinion, of course).

Oh no! Wish you could have found the time to finish, but I'm happy you will still upload it once you're finished. Reading everybody's ideas and execution has been my favorite part of this whole thing.
Good luck to everybody who is participating. Here's hoping we have enough adventures and good content to make The Dark Temple a print candidate down the line.

Great! Glad you got enough entries and I look forward to seeing them all in one place.Solomoriah wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 3:10 pm You needn't worry.

Re: The Dark Temple CONTEST ENTRY THREAD
Question for Sean: I'm reading through "Three Days" and I have to say, WOW. But one thing I'm not seeing in my head is the tripod. What, exactly, is this tripod? The name implies three legs, but says nothing about what's on top of it; one scene depicting it with its original owner says:
while another says:A golden tripod sits on a table behind him, which he periodically consults as he proceeds with his writing.
I'm sorry, I'm very confused. The first quote seems to indicate it's an instrument of some sort, or perhaps it holds a book; the second makes it sound like a brazier. What am I supposed to be imagining here?A man with long black hair stares intently into a burning golden tripod.

The latter -- a brazier. The picture I had in mind when writing this was something along the lines of: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/255068 (albeit more sinister)Solomoriah wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2019 11:11 pm Question for Sean: I'm reading through "Three Days" and I have to say, WOW.

But you're right, this could use some clarification. I'll put up a r4 that adds some additional description around this object.

Re: The Dark Temple CONTEST ENTRY THREAD
Okay, so I was right to see it as a brazier. (Note to self... might need to ask an artist or two to do drawings of all the "special" items from this adventure.) What does it mean that he "consults" it?

Re: The Dark Temple CONTEST ENTRY THREAD
Illustrations could be very helpful here. In my current game, our female half-orc demanded she get the large magical brazier the party just found because clearly it would fit her best. Our DM had difficulty pronouncing "brazier" and we all thought it was a kind of specialized armor.

I remember watching a documentary about Nostradamus and a dramatization showed him looking into a bowl of something that hung from a tripod over a small fire (like a bunson burner) the tripod was about two foot high. There were CGI images of a nuke going off and then President Kennedy shown above the bowl, like the bowl was showing Nostradamus images of future events. When I read the module, that is the picture I imagined.Solomoriah wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 10:28 am Okay, so I was right to see it as a brazier.

Here is a picture of what I remember under the "Satan's Prophet..." heading. When he looks into the bowl, he would be "consulting" the tripod.

AlMan that is *exactly* what I had in mind! The movie was called "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" and was narrated by Orson Welles of all people.AlMan wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 7:42 pmI remember watching a documentary about Nostradamus and a dramatization showed him looking into a bowl of something that hung from a tripod over a small fire (like a bunson burner) the tripod was about two foot high.

Re: The Dark Temple CONTEST ENTRY THREAD
Have you considered rebooting The Pit contest? It seems like there are quite a few of us willing to do some module writing currently and something tells me you'd get a usable dungeon or 2 out of it.Solomoriah wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 3:10 pm You needn't worry.
