Manor #6 Map


I've been working on the 6th issue of the Manor.  So far I have a pair of great contributions from +matt jackson and +Ken H.  I'm working on the last section of the issue and that will include a micro adventure.  The map above is something I drew for it, an abandon cabin along a lake.  Whose to say what the players will find inside.  Or outside. 

In the meantime I'm plugging slowly along on the magic items.  You guys are going to make it tough.  I've only begun and found a few I like a lot.

How I Plan to Judge You

l I will not be wearing a black robe, those are so cliche.  I got the idea from +Ken H on how to go about it when he judged the one-page dungeon contest a few eons ago.  I will give each magic item a rating, 1 - 5, 1 being suck, 5 being awesome.  I'll rate each magic item in three categories. 

  • First category, is the item cool.  Because really, if you can't get past this gate you have little to no chance getting through the next two. 
  • Second, is the item well written.  Has the contributor explained his magic item well in a concise manner.  
  • And the last category is, would I likely use this magic item in a game of mine.  I think a good magic item should be useable.
I'll start going through the entries tonight. With 339 of them I hope to get through about 40 to 50 a night, but don't want to burn myself out too much because I really want to give each contribution a good set of eyes.  *Insert figure skating judging joke here*

I'll do a tally on the side of the blog of how many I've gone through.  Good luck to everyone who entered.  Either way this is going to end up as one awesome PDF.
