Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#5I would mention Autumn festivals, harvest time stuff, submissions that are based around the holidays of the fall, like Thanksgiving in the US, Halloween, and the various things of that nature -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?

Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#8Magic tattoos, autumn festivals and rebellion themes all get my vote. I already sense a few ideas tickling at my brain. -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#9...How about this?
Mounstrous Monsters
Monster. The word itself connotes something wrong or evil. Natural, freak of nature, nurtured by a mad alchymist or simply the last of its kind. These creatures must be unique and... well, monsters! Producing physical or mental fear by either its appearance or its actions. Mutants, mythical beasts, humans, flora, fauna, anything goes. Lets expand the boundaries and our established notions of what monsters are and can be!
Check under your bed before turning of the light!

Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#10My vote would be for Summer Festivals, and then for Tattoos and Magic. Or possibly Festivals in general, rather than limiting it to summer festivals. -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#11I vote for the Monsters theme followed by farming. -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#12Hmmm, sentient clothing? But, also: Monsters! -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#13Monster Farming -

Since it is fairly unaminous and this requires the least amount of work for me since MJS put together this perfect quest intro, going with this. Speak now before I lock the topic. ;)
Will post the quest in the next couple of days. It can go in conjunction with the 5555. Stack up the XP bonuses. ;) -

Thanks Mike! -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#23Holy Sweetness! -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#24The prize t-shirt should be that banner on a black shirt! Sweet! -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#25If it can be done, that'll be the t-shirt. Good idea, Pieh. -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#26Im not sure if I managed to resize it to fit the main page, the requirements are:
height:109px;
width:300px;
And: below 100kb.
If I did not succeed however, perhaps one of our Master of the Art of Resizing Images Strolenites can help me out? :wink:

Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#27One question: the quest description says that the monster "must be unique". Does that mean "one of a kind", or does that simply mean that the idea has to be original? -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#28We rarely hold people to our own words, as we tend to flourish with them and put them in strange orders at times. I do not believe this quest calls for "one-of-a-kind" monsters or even completely original ones, although both would qualify. It's up to you to interpret the quest as you see fit, and other will judge your quest submissions based on their interpretations. That's just how it usually goes, we try not to specify on the quests too much or it stunts creativity. Good luck, everyone! -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#29I agree with Pieh, when I conjured the quest description I thought about the "One of a kind" option as it would fit the monster theme somewhat. But there has already been a quest called "One of a kind" so it would be lame to revamp the same quest with more restrictions. But I do have some thoughts about monsters though; if they are very common, they are not monsters anymore. That gives us the opportunity of having a swarm, group or gathering of some kind. But that is just my opinion, Pieh has a very valid point. Do not feel restrained, write down what you think is an awesome and terrifying monster. :up: -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#30Well that's a relief! I have some little beasties that would fit this quest nicely, but wasn't sure if I could use them. Another thought occurs to me though; I don't think that a beast needs be rare to qualify as a monster. Sometimes common creatures can exhibit monstrous behaviour (think back on "The Birds" by Daphne Du Maurier for inspiration). Carrion, rodents, cats -- all can become a type of "group" monster if allowed to swarm. Just my 2c. -
Re: Autumn Quest Brainstorming?
#31I agree, common things can easily become monsters. Doctor Hannibal Lecter is a monster, but I do not, however, classify humans as monsters. But taking something familiar, and molding it into something monstrous, is a very effective way of adding psychological layers.
