Re: Heroscapers that are published authors
Well, writing one is the first step. I was introduced to NaNoWriMo last year by a friend, but stopped at about a week into it and ~5000 words. Looking back, I should have focused less on quality and more on quantity. This year I am going to come up with an idea beforehand I think, which should make it easier. Yikes, I need to get started, less than 3 months to go. I want to take a writing class in college to improve my writing ability. Right now it has a lot of room for improvement.
I'll add publishing a book to my bucket list after I write one. |

Re: Heroscapers that are published authors
Good call. One thing at a time.
If you're having trouble with inspiration, I recommend going on lots of walks and just giving yourself time to look around and think. Did wonders for me when I was working on my master's thesis for my MFA in fiction. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Heroscapers that are published authors
My friend that I am working on a RPG with, sent this over to me and I thought others might want to take a look.

Re: Heroscapers that are published authors
Grats. I hope by next year sometime my/our RPG will be ready for the world.
We had to axe the standard magic user for now. Trying to come up with tons of spells and keep it all balanced proved to be exceedingly difficult. It is a lot like creating custom Heroscape designs, I have found, except we were trying to create 100 at one time.

Re: Heroscapers that are published authors
I have writing one on my bucket list. I tried (once again) to tackle it recently and I find it's exceedingly difficult. I seem to do much better with short stories and poems.

Re: Heroscapers that are published authors
I wrote a book between 1990 and 2000. Yeah, it took that long on and off. Sent it to a publisher but got rejected and haven't bothered with is since. It was a standard fantasy genre type with your dwarf, barbarian, priestess, thief and wizard types all starting out on their own but fate brings them together for their adventure. Kind of rough in some senses, but real good character development.
I've started other stuff since but just end up with a block and stop. I've created whole worlds with different kingdoms and such, with maps. One day I'll revisit my writing, for like Bats said, even if it doesn't get published, it's still cool to have 300+ pages of a story that you've written. C3G had been keeping me busy for about 4 years and free time went there for the most part, so that kind of kept me from revisiting my writing, though I'm very happy for the time spent with C3G for sure. Now I'm playtesting and working with Mice and Mystics, so perhaps once that's done I'll get back into writing, unless I get roped into more stuff Of course another hurdle keeping me from getting back into writing is my love for board games over the past 2 1/2 years, and over the past month I've been working on designing a board game. So that kind of shoots my writing out of the water again.

Re: Heroscapers that are published authors
Those sound awesome. 'Hook wielding, Mexican warrior', nice.
Always cool to hear from an O'sixer. Grats. A cloud can change its semblance, yet retain its will With the intimacy of destruction, One knows what it is to be alive The empty sky holds no reflection, for sorrow - Eslo Rudkey |

As for the hook-wielding Mexican warrior, it's too bad we never saw a hero like that released in any of the waves. I'm still holding out though. |
