Taking creative requests
Okay, here's the pitch; I really like writing, especially so as it bestows the medium through which one may freely express creativity and ideas.
To that end, I'm willing to accept requests; the idea is that you present me with keywords, themes, ideas et al that you would like to see in-game or use in your campaign, but may not have the time or inclination to design yourself, can't figure an exact way of integrating it in your campaign, or you can pitch me some difficult ideas that desire to be turned into something that can be used in a game; be it descriptions of localities, plot hooks, descriptive texts, urban legends, quests, anything else that may take your fancy et al.
The emphasis here will be on fluff rather than crunch.
D&D Urban Legends for your perusal; any thing you give me will be written to these standards
So, who's game?Last edited by Amiel; 2010-02-27 at 08:05 AM.

Re: Taking creative requests
Keywords; golden, jungle, stained, night
Legends are replete with stories of buried treasure, sunken loot, and lost cities filled to overflowing with precious gems and gold.
Across the ages, many have dared to brave treacherous terrain, depraved foes, and wild weather, to reach otherwise viciously inhospitable locales so that their legends may soar upon currents of reputation while turning a mean profit.
Their stories are littered with inglorious failures and untimely deaths; the strands of fate cluttered with spent twine. What then could be so enticing to send otherwise competent mortals to such ignominious fates? What could so change the nature of a man?
From antiquity, tales have whispered of a hidden island, a pristine eden upon which nature is sanctified and preserved. To reach it means braving the perilous Black Maelstrom, so named due to lashing winds and crashing waves so brutal that the very color of the seas turns back.
Within this seeming tranquility lies another secret, a lost city, a remnant of a lost civilisation, perhaps a precursor to the myriad mortal races. It is said within this city lies treasure that shines as if a miniature sun settled from the firmament upon the earth.
Rumors speak of its streets as a glowing stream, a literal river of gold; of buildings encased in solid platinum, its affectation accentuated with precious gems. That even one theft of the multitudinous wealth could set up an adventurer for life, to even the Great Beyond.
However, as always, there are darker myths. The city is always abandoned; a constant consistency that permeates all tellings. The reasons behind this are unknown; creating a darkened shadow where the illumination of knowledge dares not cast its light.
For these shadows conceal horrific truths. That on the night of a full moon, everything in the city is stained with the blood of a hundred thousand sacrifices. That everything within the city glares so intently, perhaps not so much due to the inherent iridescence of gold or platinum but to the blood that covers all things.
Adventurers 'ware when exploring this cursed city.To see the world in a grain of sand
and Heaven in a wild flower
To hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour.

Re: Taking creative requests
It really bothers me that "The Licked Hand" is a complete rip-off of The Dog's Lick.

Re: Taking creative requests
Taking requests you said?
Well, I have a concept in mind, I'll try to reduce it to keywords and see what comes up from it :)
Luck, Love, War, Divine Intervention
PS: No, not Troy. Not at all. (re-checking my own keywords made me feel like I had to give this sub-text)Last edited by Eloel; 2010-02-27 at 11:50 AM.
