This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

June is Worldwide Adventure Writing Month

Tabletop roleplaying games have traditionally relied on a Game Master to create and run adventures. Sometimes that Game Master uses published adventure material. I know for a fact that the internet is chock full of extremely talented GMs. We can all help each other out by writing adventures we can share with each other. Please consider taking the WoAdWriMo challenge with us: to write a complete, playable rpg adventure of at least 32 pages in length by the last day of June next year. You can do it.

Keep watching the WoAdWriMo blog for my personal thoughts on the WoAdWriMo project or join us at Treasure Tables where host Martin Ralya has set aside a space for the WoAdWriMo forum. Ask questions. Voice concerns. Sign on to take the challenge. Spread the word. This is about you and what you can do for our hobby.

Remember June is Worldwide Adventure Writing Month. Start planning now.

Jeff Rients,
WoAdWriMo Coordinator

PS:  Hi, gang!  I'm making the rounds today with this project and I wanted to start in friendly territory.  I know it comes as a shock to some of you that I find this place 'friendly'.

This is a very cool thing!  I will strive mightily to overcome my natural inertia and take part.
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

You can use any system you want. If it is an open system just make sure to use the OGL. If it is not an open system, if you ask the publisher, they most likely will give you permission to use it.

in the grand scheme of things these are going to free fan-made adventures so they would have a pretty hard time taking any legal action against you.

Download Secret Santicore! (10MB). I painted the cover :)

I was planning on an adventure (or three) but was planning on submitting them to Dungeon. Does that count? ;)
The Secret Volcano Base: my intermittently updated RPG blog.

Running: Pathfinder Scarred Lands, Mutants & Masterminds, Masks, Starfinder, Bulldogs!
Playing: Sigh. Nothing.
Planning: Some Cyberpunk thing, system TBD.

Yes, it does!  WoAdWriMo has two simple goals: get more GMs writing adventures and get those adventures in the hands of other GMs.

Suggestion:

Force us Modulewrights to include a sort of abstract, so that I know what the adventure is about.

Like:

A Runequest murder mystery for 4-6 Ducks of medium experience.

A high level killer dungeon for True20

Merchant intigue in a detailed subsector. Maps and cargo item cards included! usable with any edition.

Count me in as well.

I have had an adventure in mind for quite a while to be used with Nebuleon, but I think I could make it more generic and easy to use for other system. :D
