The Warlock’s Journal Contest for January-February 2017 is being hosted by our friends at Tiny Gork, with an entry deadline of February 15th. They have a new approach for this contest – but here is the word straight from the Tiny Gork himself:
As a GM it can be tricky sometimes to come up with stuff, be it a location, magic item, npc, weapons, monsters, background story etc. The contest this time emulates one of the methods to overcome these tricky dry spells.
lexicon
dragonscale
freebooterSeek inspiration in the three words above, let them take you places, let them create new places, people and items of power in your imagination. This time anything goes, you can submit any and everything for the Warlocks Journal. Well that is to say any and everything inspired by, derived by or crafted from the three words above. You do not have to use the words as words in a sentence; you can, but you can also use them as concepts and themes. Inspiration from random words is the idea this time. Let the random words spark your imagination.
Like a … dragonbone pirateship clad in dragonscales for superior protection, forever sailing in the mist guarding the ancient lexicon of the dead.
That there was a very short one, Tiny Gork grants you a full 500 words to do with as you please. Now it is true that sometimes one thing inspires another without any relation to each other, so make good use of the words available to make sure your reader understands a link between them.
The contest is open as of… right now!
You can submit your entry until the 15th of February, and you may submit up to 3 entries.Each entry must take all three words into account: lexicon, dragonscale, freebooter; each entry must not exceed 500 words (title not included).The winning entry will be personally selected by Tiny Gork himself. The winner will receive a PDF bundle of products relating to the three topics of the contest; more info on this will follow but it will be a collection worth somewhere between $20-35 depending on what ends up getting into the bundle. All entries will be compiled into a free PDF by TinyGork, and the winner shall be declared upon the 28th of February 2017. So let’s see what you can come up with! Send your submission to gork@tinygork.com with the subject: Warlocks Journal January.
The minions hope this sparks your imagination, as it already has ours. (The minions are not eligible to enter, but don’t let that stop you!) Good luck with your contest entry, and good gaming!
