Quote from: KeshFerrarPlanar travel...you just struck a chord.

Quick someone inspire me! If I find inspiration in the next week or so I will definately apply for an article slot.

Waking Dream: Creating memorable planar locations

People From Beyond: A look at life in the Far Realms

Shockwaves of Divinity: The impact of deities on extraplanar realms

Oh, and you need not "apply" for a slot, just send us the article before deadline. ;)

Tips on creating new pantheons:  perhaps even a series on creating interesting, unique polytheistic pantheons, monotheistic, etc

Kesh, inspiration from your own site, how about a series of articles on how to use real-life history to create role-playing experiences.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

right, Ill try to find time to write the pantheon article in between homework and preparation for my dnd campaign.

I didn't keep track of the discussion of Issue Five, but I was just thinking and this seems a fairly simple and obvious thing to do, so if it's been thrown out there, my great apologies -- in our Alliance of Creative Communities, Plotstorming is running a fiction contest and the Cartographers' Guild has a Featured Map they do.  Why not take the winner of the contest and the featured map and add that to the guide, just with a short blurb along the lines of "courtesy of Plotstorming.com and the writer, so-and-so."  Same thing with the map.

Appologies about the lateness of my article; I was unable to complete it in time due to work and dreaded real life issues. Not that I had really made it public what I was working on.

I may have some very crunchy things to add for issue 7.
Endless Horizons: Action and adventure set in a grand world ripe for exploration.

Tis not a bad idea, and very similar to an idea Ishmayl and I had already tossed about.  :)

I second this notion.  Let's get some word from Rael and Rose on it, and if they're yes, we'll ask Robbie over at CG and see what we can do.

This idea is now approved of by R&R.  Go forth creative alliance members, and return bearing awesomeness for the next Guide.

The May PlotStorming.com contest has concluded and we have a winner! Wohoo!  

I guess the "biggest problem" is that the story doesn't fit into the sci-fi/planewalking motif. But if that's ok then...

How about a short blurb about PlotStorming.com to go with the story?

And if all that's ok, I'll send you a good doc by Sun night.

We'd be happy to publish a blurb (as well as adds for Fantasium, which I already had planned).

Theme is never an issue. The themes, as we've tried to make totally clear, are just for inspiration.

Looking forward to it,

Well... I've still got that chunk of review, but I'm stuck as to how to stretch it out... any chance I could send it to the editors and get some feedback?

What?

Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?

Okay, review of Ex Machina's done. Might also do a few other reviews of other things.

Hey, sorry for not getting back to you on that. I'm glad you got it done. :)

(Finals are a pain. Just 4 more days for me.)

I sent you an e-mail re another possible article.
