Calling All Dungeon Masters

Well, this is not really in Slashdot's main focus, but heck, it's a rare nerd who hasn't at least dabbled in D&D. Wizards of the Coast is looking to build a new campaign world, along the lines of Dragonlance or Forgotten Realms, and they're offering cash prizes. Their document (.doc file; Abiword reads it; try here if that link doesn't work) sums up the contest. Comments in this thread suggest they're looking for medieval fantasy settings. Show some writing flair and creative ability and take home enough cash to buy literally dozens of lead figurines AND a few new D30's... Update: 06/07 20:38 GMT by M : WOTC has the contest on their site now.

Just quit the "Her and She crap"

[FatherOfONe]

I don't play DND hardly ever anymore, but WTF happended to the books. Every time I read one of the new characters it's "SHE" and "HER". I began to think that the only characters you could play were women, but then I realized that TSR just wanted to cram political corectnesd down our throwts.

Note to TSR or whomever makes this stuff now. Drop the she and her stuff and only use it when it applies. I also thought it was funny that they took out the rule that lowered the stats if you chose to be a woman character! No more -1 strength.

Hmmm I just watched the worlds strongest person competition on ESPN and didn't see ONE woman in the contest. Now I am not saying that there isn't a few thoughsand women that couldn't lift a ton (pun) more than me, but come on!
