Greetings artists and writers. Dog Soul Publishing is gathering contributions for a charity book to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina. What began as an impulsive open call with little structure on ENWorld has blossomed into a nearly 100 page book operating under the theme of celebrating the mysticism, culture and legends of New Orleans.
"Anything to do with Voodoo, swamps, the French Quarter, Black Magic, etc would be highly cool. We lost a lovely bit of US history to Katrina, and it would be great to celebrate New Orleans' legends." (from the original open call)
At this point we've got a new monster 'Monstrous Crawdad', a printable tiled map of City Cemetery, a gambling spaceship the 'Marie Louveau', new spells and feats for d20 inspired by the plight of the slaves and voodoo, a new prestige class 'The Swamp Witch', and many more kick-ass items, including articles about the culture of New Orleans.
We could use more. Our goal is to make this book as appealing and profitable as possible. Please send your questions, ideas and contributions to: siretokkor@yahoo.com.
The deadline is the end of the month.
Also, for artists:
If you've got interesting stuff lying about the house/hard drive/filing cabinet and don't have time to whip up something new for us please send your old stuff in, because I'm sure we can find a way to use it.
However, if you have a free moment in the next three weeks and can do a new illustration for us, here's a list of things we're going to need: (don't laugh, it's an odd list!)
1. Werespider cannibals.
2. Angry, grim looking elven shaman performing a ritual in a field .
3. Magic user channeling energy from the 'powers that be'.
4. Images of the swamp.
5. An alligator gar (new monster - large fish).
6. A dwarf and and an elf doing 'the dozens'.
7. A half-orc bard singing a blues song, strumming a guitar, with a lucky charm hanging around his neck.
8. A day on the streets of the 'The Marie Louveau', a huge part casino and cruise ship/part space city-station . Looks kind of like the French Quarter with an artificial hemisphere overhead and citizens walking the streets wearing futuristic clothing.
9. A pirate captain with a peg leg, eye patch and hook.
10. A nervous looking parrot.
11. mardi-gras-esque revelers, but using fantasy archtypes
And, if someone creates an orcish mime for me, I'll let you have the free Dog Soul pdf of your choice!
All contributors get a free copy of the charity pdf and a gift pack from Dog Soul. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope to be hearing from some of you soon.
