We're counting this as a mini-contest.  This thead is for both the discussion of, and the display of flyers that we can use in upcoming conventions to advertise the Campaign Builders' Guild.  

I'm putting this in the Contest forums, because if we get a few people all working on this, then we'll pick one "final" flyer, and that person will win a prize of his choosing from the cafepress.com Swag.

Cheers!

Obviously it's got to have a cabbage on it, but probably not the Fiend of the Ninth Cabbage.

Good way to start, let's just get a discussion going first, and then hopefully we can throw out a few designs by Christmas time and I can get one chosen and printed up by the first convention, which I believe Nathan said was Jan 14

Well I was thinking, we've got some pretty cool badges on the site. I don't know if these flyers will be color or not, but making a mosaic of them to form the CBG logo would be kinda neat.

Photomosaics are always pretty hot. :yumm:

My first idea involved lots of hands! Hands are reaching in from all the borders of the flyer, as if the flyer were sitting on a table and a bunch of people were gathered around, all drawing on it. They have pencils and protractors and various other bits of drafting equipment, but they're using it to draw mountains and rivers and continents and such, creating a world as a group effort. The whole bit could  have a sketchy sort of feel to it, like da Vinci's blueprints, with lightly-drawn squares and circles as guides.
I move quick: I'm gonna try my trick one last time--
you know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
when dust move in the sunshine

Yes, I would like them in hand by Jan 14.

I would suggest something catching and eye appealing. How about having a continent or a world map as the background image for the handout? Nothing highly detailed, you're not the Cartographers, but continents and worlds are the meat of the CBG.

I may have just the thing... I commissioned a piece from So Keher a loooong time ago for some specific site function, and now it's not being used for that, but we could use it for this - I'll see if I can dig it up.

Words made out of dice perhaps? Or you could have an alternating cabbage-[insert something related to D&D here]. Another thought: you could have a background with a collage-thingy of the previous CBGuide covers.

What about a field of stars and in the center a dotted outline of a world. In the middle of the outlined world would say "Your world here". Above it "If you build it, they will review", and below it the logo with "theCBG.org"

 [spoiler The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins]In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know
They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below,
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!!
He riddled with Gollum!!!
A magic ring he stole!!!!
He was chased by wolves!!!!!
Lost in the forest!!!!!!
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls!!!!!!!

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now he's back in his hole in the land of the Shire,
that brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold
a-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
