In what can only be called a blatant rip-off, we are co-opting someone else’s great idea. Yes, we are. That someone else are the folks at Tales of Terror.
We are asking fans to submit what we are calling Demon Seeds. Visit the Tales of Terror website and you’ll know what I’m talking about. There lies the rip-off, but with a twist.Tales of Terror are focused on Call of Cthulhu® adventure seeds. Our focus is much broader in scope. So here it is if you are interested:
Demon Seed Submission:
One file in straight text or rich text format containing a single Demon Seed. The Demon Seed should consist of the following:
- Title of the Seed
- Game systems or settings for which the Seed is appropriate
- If the Seed is truly generic, then state that
- Author’s Name!!! Do not forget that!
- 1 to 5 paragraphs detailing a situation or event preferably using a journalistic style.
- 3 sections (at least) containing different and horrific explanations of What’s Really Going On
- Each section should be less than 5 paragraphs.
(optional) One or more files containing related artwork (see the Submissions page for artwork guidelines)
But………if the idea is killer, take all the space you need, we will not turn it away.
Anyone that can recall the Sunday Dark Conspiracy Chat that ran for a few years a while back, knows that these Demon Seeds were the bread and butter of those discussions! On any given Sunday, Lee’s chat room coordination efforts would result in at least five of these darn things, these Demon Seeds. Often it would result in an article submission to Demonground! <sigh> those were the days….
Anyway, fire up those idea mills, tap-dance on those keys, and send us some of your Demon Seeds.
Cheers!
