LivingTriskele Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Just curious if anyone knows what happened to it. I was told that my adventure was selected and that they hoped to have the book published in Feb. 2012. Now it looks like Chaosium is accepting submissions for 2012's adventure contest.

seneschal Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) It was published August 3 as "A Nation Ransomed," containing four winning adventures. Congratulations! Go to this thread http://basicroleplaying.com/basic-roleplaying/nation-ransomed-other-basic-roleplaying-adventures-2980/ and tell us the name of your adventure and what it was all about.

LivingTriskele Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hmmm... interesting. My name is mentioned but I didn't have anything to do with this adventure (mine was a sort of a dark fantasy, infernal tropical island thing). My adventure was called Skull of the Sleepers. Maybe they have other plans for it. Quote "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."

wbcreighton Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I think the write-up on Chaosium's web site is wrong. I'm guessing your adventure is included, they just don't mention it in the description. Quote I use fantasygrounds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seneschal Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The book contains four adventures. Presumably Skull of the Sleepers is included. So now we know three of the scenarios -- A Nation Ransomed (modern military technothriller); Skull of the Sleepers (dark tropical fantasy); and Endless Summer (light-hearted mystery). Wonder what No. 4 is and who its author is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what No. 4 is and who its author is? A Merry Berlin Christmas by C.S. Barnhart, for the Berlin '61 setting or Call of Cthulhu.

PK Games Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Would have been nice to have been told this, you know,when it came out. I had no clue. (since I am CS Barnhart) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seneschal Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 We were all in the same boat. Chaosium didn't add the authors' names and the fact that it contains four adventures from the contest until recently (sometime during the last month). I noticed the changes after I let Nick Nicario know that I'd never received my author's copy (which I did eventually receive). According to Nick, the winning adventures for the 2012 Science Fiction adventure contest are somewhere in the publication queue; the children's adventure contest apparently got sidetracked in all the Cthulhu 7 and Orient Express frenzy. I e-mailed Meghan McLean about it July 1, per Nick's instructions, but haven't yet heard back from her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK Games Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ah yes, the frenzy I ignored because I am quite happy with Cthulhu 6 and Orient Express wasnt new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldHarrytheDrifter Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Ah yes, the frenzy I ignored because I am quite happy with Cthulhu 6 and Orient Express wasnt new. Mr. Barnhart, please email me at nick@chaosium.com if you didnt get your contributor's copy. Thanks. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
