Hey everyone,
I've got the winners for the various guides. Whenever we have contests that draw on player creativity, it's always hard to narrow down the winners, and these guides were no exception. The following people will be contacted some time in the next few days about getting their alteration done. The guides themselves will be put up on the website as a part of the general upgrade of the game's official help documentation. I've got no ETA on that, unfortunately, since GMs don't update the website, the onsite folks do. (I know, I know, we say that ever time the spell list goes out of date, but still, it's not us!)

The winners are:
Moon Mage Newbie Guide: Eldrad
Progeny of Tezirah: Rroht
Celestial Compact: Larcus
Heritage House: Pathian
Fortune's Path: Mozzik (despite calling Pathian an "Historical figure."
Prophets of G'Nar Peth: Vivviane

That leaves the Monks and the Nomads without a winner, because I got no entries for either sect. I'll be doing the guides for those two. In addition to this post, I'll be contacting the winners via email later today, but since I lost track of time and have to run to work, that'll have to wait. If you see these folks in game, tell them congratulations!

Great job, everyone!

GM Westryl, Moon Mage Liaison

Heh ignore my questions about alterations and publication. I should've read your post a little slower.



-Historical Figure Pathian

Westryl says, "I'll only roleplay a female if I can get stuck in the void with Pathian."

I'm really excited and have the 'kid in a candy store' syndrome right now.
I'm afraid that I may be thinking up ideas for an alteration that can't be allowed.
Westryl, could you tell us some rule or guide lines when you e-mail us?



Eldrad

"This spell channels the light-fire of the moons into a comfortable shoe, excellent for dinner parties, travelling, or combat."

Hmmm, a cane is a quaterstaff weapon, so can its look be change from 'cane' to <whatever I want> staff?

Anyone going to post these guides on their website? I'd love to read them now... :)

I would like to post all possible guides on my website, winner or not. If you wrote one and still want it out there, send it to OldClanCaitiff@aol.com and I'll put it up.

Actually, a guide to the Nomads has already been written, though I had to do it since no one else stepped up. Since we're trying to get them up on the site (not sure when, though) we had a deadline on our end for them.


GM Westryl, Moon Mage Liaison

Yes Westryl. The path is clear. Use your newfound Moon Mage GM power!

I would make the best pseudo-anthropological Nomad guide. It would have action, adventure, prolixity, academic stereotypes, wild speculations, fire-water, horse archers, caribou rustling, counterprogressive worldviews, gross cultural misunderstanding, philosophical overtones, Bone Dancers, and horrible ape-men! (Disclaimer: Would actually have very little of that, based on word count limitations.)

Alternately, you could sweet talk the heirarchy into getting several late submissions placed in an IG book that could be placed in the Yurt. IMO, this would be ideal. It would convey the lesson that the Nomads are a jumble of divergent practices and perspectives uncomfortably bound together by the vision and charisma of a long-dead messianic leader.

Hmm. I think I may be giving too much consideration to the "Roleplaying Controversy" aspect of the sect guide. Still, I think it's worth a shot to try and reopen the contest or get a book. If my PC might become "famous".

Greetings All,

Awhile back we had a contest for writing a sect guide. It had been specified that the information would be presented on the website at a later date. I was wondering if someone could point me to the hypertext link.


Rroht Hhussk
Progeny of Tezirah

Hrm. I think I've got my winning Heritage House guide somewhere if you want them resubmitted Armifer.

Least I think I've got it...I'll do some rummaging.

So I can't seem to find my guide.

However! I've tried to contact Westryl in hopes that he still has them saved and is willing to pass them all along. I've left him a message via his LiveJournal and in case that doesn't work I've also tried to contact GM Tessima because I know they were close and hung out.

Cross your fingers. Heh.
