Magical Minds Design Compo – Players Handbook 3 Giveaway

17 February 2010 in Contests by

I’ve got one more item on the list that’s been the inspirational spark behind the Magical Minds series of magic items.

Now it’s your chance to transform a nascent idea into a workable balanced magic item. The best item as chosen by the judge will win a copy of the Players Handbook 3!

The last item name, along with my daughters brief notes is as follows:

Necklace of Death (Notes: You put it on and you die)

Rules

  1. Stick to Dungeons & Dragons 4e
  2. Stay true to the item name, include necklaces and death somewhere.
  3. Don’t stay true to my daughter’s notes, make it balanced!
  4. Only one entry per person, although feel free to replace a previous entry if you suddenly come up with a better idea.
  5. Email entries to blog@buccaneersguild.com.
  6. Tell other people about the compo, post on Twitter or Facebook for example.
  7. Closing date is March 9th 2010.
  8. The winning entry will be announced on March 15th.
Since the dark days of the late '70s, Iain has been playing and running RPGs of one type or another. When not with his wife and children or working as a software engineer/Photoshop monkey he spends spare time either shooting pointy sticks at pointless paper targets, practising the art of card magic, or spending time enjoying the varied worlds of role playing.

  1. Do you need it formatted in the D&D 4e style? Or do we just need to cover the mechanical bases in some reasonably clear manner?

  2. Hi! Thanks for running this. I got inspired and wrote up my item, but did not see rule #6. As I do not use twitter, I can’t post a link to the competition there. Can I still submit to the contest?

  3. Can you enter even if you don’t have twitter?
