Some of you have cool icons in your signatures, where did you get those from and can anyone make a Gold, Silver, Bronze version of an icon for this comp (maybe featuring a map/parchment, quill - I'll leave the details up to whoever volunteers as my graphical artistic side is somewhat stunted!)

Good luck and may the best entries win...


I can't confirm this, but it might be a drathe only thing to add more icons.

I'm still thinking...

The ideas I'm coming up with seem more suitable for Packs.

Drum roll please...

The window for submissions is now open and will remain open until 17th February (only 2 weeks, folks!), please double check the rules, create a post and attach your entry.

Entry needs a title (sorry that probably should have been a rule, learning for next time!) so that on the 17th I can add a poll to this forum with the entry names on to allow voting.

Go, go , go!

And my entry here:
The Monastery of Madness.pdf


I now feel like I should have written some form of introductory blurb, but as I didn't, I'll borrow a bit from the parchment text

You have been sent to investigate several disappearances from a local village and all the indications point to a nearby monastery which has been abandoned for over a century and yet, it is said on a windy night you can still hear the bells calling the long dead occupants to prayer. You must investigate, save the lost village folk, and neutralise any threat for a reward of 180 gold coins.


Enjoy!

Play-test is over. Couple tweaks in notes and good to go.

Wish I'd see a lot more entries.
