The Campaign Builder's Guild

Nomadic could have a really good idea there. It's dwarf-centric but broad enough that just about anyone could want to participate. In addition to the legend itself, information could be included on how that impacts the culture or society of the dwarves that keep the legend. That could be as simple as a moral to the story, a reason why a certain family / clan is respected / feared / in power, or modern festivals and celebrations. Or not, this is more or less brainstorming now.

I'm not set on keeping the theme of drinking, personally. That is the third On Dwarves... thread I have done and I intend to do more. Religion was a previous topic. However, my above expansion on Nomadic's idea could tie into reasons for drinking, religion, or both. (Really, Nomadic's idea on its own could probably also do that; I take no credit.)

Quote from: NomadicNew dwarven contest idea: Write a dwarven legend

it can be about any number of things but it must be a legend that dwarves would retell amongst themselves.

I would enjoy this premise.

It sounds like we have a good idea for the contest now. What about a reward? Is it enough to do it just for bragging rights? What about a badge to put in one's sig? A book mailed to the winner? Gifting a PDF book to an e-mail address would also be nice but I don't see a site that allows that.

Yes, that sounds like an awesome contest idea.

As for reward; I don't think we need much.  A sig badge would be good enough for me, but I wouldn't object to a book or some such.

I'll let the winner pick the next group of titles for members in the forums (the ones that are currently discworld themed "great a'tuin, susan sto helit, cohen the barbarian, etc"). Been a few months since they were last changed, could use an update. The only requirements is that I need 10 different ranks and they all need to follow some sort of theme.

You mean the winner gets to engage in unfettered logolepsy? To arms, gentlefolk!

"unfettered logolepsy"?

Now that sound sexy.

Sounds like we have a plan, then. I will try to get this written up over the weekend. Nomadic, I'll be in touch so I can make this all official-like.
