Holiday Contest
===============
A new Roleplaying Tips contest is long overdue, so let's get
one going while we are on the topic of holidays with this
week's issue. As you'll read, game world holidays can serve
several GMing purposes, including world design, adventure
inspiration, and seamless encounter design. They are useful
little tools, those holidays.
Contest Entry
-------------
Create a holiday and describe it in roughly 1-3 paragraphs.
Please use this format:
Holiday Name:
Holiday Description:
Holiday Encounter Ideas: (bullet list of ideas or paragraphs)
E-mail your entries in one e-mail message or several to
johnn@roleplayingtips.com
You can submit as many entries as you like.
As usual, entries will be edited and then re-posted in this
e-zine so all GMs will benefit from your creativity.
Contest entry deadline is December 17, 2006. Winners will be
selected randomly from the pool of entries, so don't worry
if writing isn't your strong suit.
