Another BRP adventure contest is coming

[Fergo113]

But wait there's more...

[We released the PDF version of the book in March. A physical copy of the book will be available by mid-April. The remainder of the prize package will be sent out once the physical copy arrives. Now that the first contest is (finally!) behind us. Plans are underway for a second BRP adventure contest. Keep an eye on Chaosium.com]

Last time I came up with the idea two weeks before the deadline – is it legal to plan ahead for these sorts of things?

[ORtrail]

I think it'd be illegal NOT to plan ahead at this point. The first BRP Adventures monograph was a surprise, this one was kinda expected.

Good news though, very good.

[ORtrail]

So, who is planning on writing something for this? Anyone looking at doing something for a Pulp or Supers genre?

I'm very tempted to write up something, just a quick adventure so I can actually have the satisfaction of seeing something finished. Of course that would take time and focus away from another project I've been working on since last year -so I'm torn.

On the other hand, I'm hoping to see another historic based adventure or two in this next monograph. Any volunteers?

After edit: Can we merge this and the other announcement thread?

If I do one it will most likely be Rubble and Ruin adventure (I am including two in the monograph which I want to get to Dustin at about the same time as the contest deadline).

Which brings up a good opportunity I think, rleduc. How nice would it be to see some of the monographs get some extra support through the BRP Adventures mongraphs? Might not work in every case of course, as some would no doubt require the full monograph to really understand the adventure setting, but still....

To use a videogame analogy, we often see a demo for a game to build interest for the full game. Why not a sample adventure with some setting notes to promote a BRP monograph?

See how easy it is to volunteer others to do work?

I wanted to do this last year for Sword & Spell. A short dungeon crawl utilizing some of the new magic items, spells, spot rules, monsters etc. I would use pre-gen characters based on the iconic characters used throughout the examples from the book.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the time and more than likely won't have the time now either. Really wanted to though.

If the timing works, I plan on doing this for the setting I'm writing for Chaosium. The setting'll be released as a book, not a monograph, but hopefully you guys are ok with that.

Yeah, I already have an adventure in mind – it would be playable without Rubble and Ruin, but would introduce several elements of the setting.

I am currently working on my submission.

It is a WWII setting, the players are Special Forces Rangers, but they are an even more elite group, because they have psychic abilities. The Psi-Arms Race has begun, and the US wants to ensure that they are the only ones to have that advantage once they get wind of a Nazi movement to also develop psionics.
