So it's my birthday today (8th of September) so I thought I would give away 2 of my all time favourite games.

But, there is a little bit of a challenge to go with it. Might as well take the opportunity to delve into the greater GOG community creativity banks and also help a friend with her project.

The challenge is fairly simple. To come up with something for a fantasy medieval setting. It can be a name, a race, a town, city, landscape, monument, lore, world event, plot, character.. whatever. It can be as detailed or vague as you like.

There is a little twist though.. it isn't absolutely limited to a fantasy medieval. If you are more of a steampunk fan.. by all means, draw from that. In the setting, pretty much anything can happen! The existing lore would not make a jet engine falling out of the sky Donnie Darko style be out of place.

My friend will pick 3 winners and those suggestions will definitely end up as part of the project (though possibly modified slightly to suit), credited of course. The winners can then choose Creatures: The Albian Years, Creatures Exodus or in the case of already having those (or really not wanting them), some other $5.99 game.

Obviously, any entry implicitly gives permission to use it if it wins, but please state if you are okay with it being used, even if it doesn't win.

Thanks and have fun :)

I don't know if this applies, but this was the basic premise behind a D&D campaign I never got to really flesh out.
The players started out with several small seemingly unrelated quests and were later going to find out (it never got that far) that a long long time ago there had been a war between the elves and the dragonborn and that in the end the high elves had constructed several magical towers that had sealed away the high elves and the dragonborn in another dimension to save the players' dimension.
And in the current day there was a group of dragonborn working to destroy the towers and undo the seal to conquer the world.

It's a bit of lore and setting and of course you can switch out the races for whatever race you feel like using.
Is that enough? Like I said, I never got around to finishing it since the campaign ended very quickly.

Yep, that's plenty. Some of the best ideas so far came from a single sentence.

And as for myself, I really like this idea :)

It was partly an homage to Terry Goodkind (sounds better than ripoff).
And it was, I felt, a good way to slowly drag the players into a bigger overall story line with more dangerous quests. Which is something I always find hard to do, the slowly building quests.
I also had the players discover a few abandoned dungeon laboratories from a banished high elf necromancer who during the great war was working on creating undead to fight for the high elf side. But they didn't approve of necromancy so he was banished.
And the players discovered several of those old laboratories with his diaries and abominations.
When they finally caught up to him he would've been some kind of powerful undead like a vampire or a lich.

I actually spent a fair amount of time working on interesting things for the campaign.

Right now, i just wanna say Happy Birthday!

(a bit of a hangover on my side, maybe i'll come with something later)
