Hey everyone. I was just wondering I this contest is still occurring or if it's fallen into abeyance. If so, would anyone be against it's revivification (or barring someone else wanting to, me reviving it)?

If you're not keen to do it, I shall.

The place just doesn't seem right without a monster competition...

I'd be happy to run it with you mulletman. I was thinking to bring back the most popular one: Beings of Legend V, or alternatively, Beings of Unspeakable Evil.

The regular monster competition changed themes every month, if that's what you were talking about.

It's funny you bring this up now, because Djinn_in_Tonic was in the IRC a few days ago (the first day I remember seeing you there, in fact, TravelLog) and said life had kind of taken over back when it died, and he'd "see what he could do" about bringing it back. You'd have to talk to him personally for any more information than that, though. I totally would have won the last one if it hadn't died.

If I were involved in running it, I'd actually like to switch between fairly loose limitation [design a plant type monster] to pretty tight conditions [design a monster race of humanoids, LA no greater than +1, complete with an encounter for 3rd level characters].

I've done a fair amount of design training over the years and the stricter limitations usually produce the most creative results.

Yeah, I was referring to my idea for what the first month's theme would be.

In any case, I do remember Djinn mentioning that, so we should wait a while to see about him bringing it back.

Anyone have links to the Monster Competition's chat threads?

Is a new one up yet? If not, I could put one up no problem. Did it with the Base Class Competition too when Temotei was preoccupied.

Have we done something with the weather before? Considering how nutty it has been lately here and some other places that might be something to go with.

My understanding is that we're waiting on a response from Djinn before stepping on his toes.

Otherwise, i thing TravelLog and I would still be wrestling over it...

I've posted a new contest, and will be offering a minor prize of artwork for the winning entry.

We can either take turns to pick the themes or simply decide via lively debate.
