This is the discussion thread for the April contest, "Gag Gift" Please direct all non-entries, questions, comments, and concerns here.
Cheers!
Do we get "bonus points" (yes, I'm aware that it's most likely not a point system; I mean, the assumed base is d20 :p) for adding actual mechanics behind it, or are mechanics treated as just statted out flavor?
If it's the latter, I think I might have an idea or two...
Quote from: IshmaylWith that being said, any system is okay for this one. The stats are less important than the descriptions for this contest, but please include stats if the item calls for them. If I can't figure out how to read White Wolf stats, I'll find someone who can explain it to me.
Yea, I got that, which is actually why I asked; I know any system is OK, but even that assumes you're actually using a system. When I had asked that, I was proposing a gag that was entirely fluff. That said, I think I can word it so that my question was completely irrelevant.
sdragon: a couple of questions...
1. The lense makes the user's (and anyone else within five feet) clothes invisible, meaning that it reveals their form underneath?
2. Your item sees through invisibility, but not illusion, right?
3. It can see through other people's clothes, such as those who would be outside the 5-foot radius.
Yes to all.
It's a classic gag, with a not-so-traditional twist :)
I can read White Wolf fairly well, but NWoD is better than OWoD for me. If you need someone to look at anything related, give me a shout.
Well, I've put up an entry. I think the powers and curse are pretty good, but I have to admit the name needs a bit of work. Ideally, it should sound attractive but hint at the curse...
My entry was inspired by the oh-so-awesome "unforgotten realms" webtoon. (so awesome)
btw, are multiple entries allowed?
I'll speak with eldo and brain on that.
Yes, multiple entries will be allowed, but one person can only win one time. Meaning, if you have three extremely awesome entries, you will still not win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize. You will win one of those. Updating the main thread now.
Some very interesting items have been created. Kudos, all!
DeeL, I especially liked your entry. Very cool how you can make the curse work in such a way that one will have a hard time noticing the connection with the item. Not to mention that the curse itself is also very cool.
@ DX: Does your sword function as a Sun Blade on each first attack (that is, once every round) or only on the very first attack that is made with it?

It only functions as a Sun Blade on the very first attack the wielder makes with it. Every attack from then on is made with the curse, unless there's a
Silicone Breastplate nearby, of course. :D
Darkxarth, that second entry of yours is teh shit!
heh, it is funny.
The entries for this contest are quickly spiralling out of control. Good!
More please. :)

Let's hope those mugs are available by the end of the contest, eh?
Guys, everything looks really good. Don't forget, there are only a few hours left to get in on this contest and win a prize and infinite fame!
so... any word?
Yes, i would like to know that also.
Soon, my gentle cabbages... soon.
