Quoth the Raven 26 query.

Post by Epically »

Hey peoples. So I'm wondering, since I'm more active, what the deal is for the next episode? When will information be released for what type of style this is going for? I've been on here for 7 years now and I would really like to submit something this time.

Typically we pick a theme and announce it around May or June. The final submission deadline is September 30th, and as always, the theme is meant as an inspiration, not a requirement to adhere to.

suggestions for a theme are welcome if you have an idea....

Dead and lovin' it.

There was a post not long ago about whether the undead can feel pain or not. Perhaps the theme can be focusing on the undead. Lore, mythology, new types, adventure revolving around, etc...

That was my post, actually. I may have to put some head canon regarding the metaphysics of positive and negative energy on paper...er, digital text. The 2e Quasi-Elemental Planes (where the Positive and Negative Material Planes touch against Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) made me consider the literal and metaphysical effects of both types of energies on life and matter, some of it more symbolic than anything else (like the negative Quasi-Elemental Plane of Salt).

Well I have three articles ready more or less, plus an article detailing ten good races of undead.

OK, the undead are a huge part of the setting, and it seems like we are overdue for an issue that focuses on them, so here we go...
