    Arrow Leaves III: Fan Submissions Wanted!

    Guys, Margaret wanted me to make this announcement. You can also find it on Dragonlance.com.


    LEAVES III
    From the Inn of the Last Home
    Fan Submissions Wanted!


    The last product MWP, Ltd will be publishing for the Dragonlance RPG will be: Leaves III, from the Inn of the Last Home. And to thank you fans for your wonderful support, we want you to be part of the story!

    This is an open invitation to submit articles, recipes, holy artifacts, and magical items (scrolls, potions, artifacts etc) for consideration for inclusion in the book. Requirements for submission are given below. Please follow them!

    Aesthetic Trampas Whiteman is going to be compiling the material and reviewing submissions, along with the MWP staff. Space is limited, so we will not be able to include all submissions, but we'll try to use as many as possible.

    In order to celebrate the Dragonlance movie, Leaves III will be set during the War of the Lance. All material should be set during this time period with the exception of the holy artifacts (see below).

    Articles: If you would like to write an article about a person, place, or thing relating to the War of the Lance, please submit a one paragraph idea to (trampas@dragonhelm.net) with 'Leaves' in the subject line. Deadline for idea submissions is May 25, 2007. Deadline for final article is August 1, 2007. We will pay $.03 per word for articles used in the book. Please note that payment does not extend to other sections.

    Holy Artifacts: During the War of the Lance, an Aesthetic in the library made an amazing discovery: a catalog of the confiscated artifacts placed in the Hall of Sacrilege prior to the Cataclysm. Descriptions of holy artifacts should be one page in length. Include the history of the artifact, as well as what it does and what it looks like. Don't worry about game stats. We can add those if necessary. We already have artifacts from Paladine and Takhisis, so please create artifacts sacred to the other gods. Submission deadline is August 1, 2007. All those whose descriptions are used in the book will receive credit in the book. No limit on number of submissions. Send to (trampas@dragonhelm.net).

    Magical Objects: Magical items could have been created in previous ages, but should now be in use during the War of the Lance. Descriptions of magical artifacts, scrolls, potions, etc., should be one page in length. Please include the history of the object, as well as what it does and what it looks like. Don't worry about game states. We can add those if necessary. Submission deadline is August 1, 2007. All those whose descriptions are used in the book will receive credit in the book. No limit on number of submissions. Send to (trampas@dragonhelm.net).

    Recipes from Tika's Cookbook: Recipes should be submitted to (recipes@dragonlance.com) with ‘Recipes’ in the subject line. You may include a brief description of the recipe (where it came from, favorite dish of a certain character, etc.), but that is not necessary. Tika, along with her assistant, Renae Chambers, will be testing all recipes. Please make sure you list all the ingredients and that your measurements are accurate! Also include instructions on preparation and cooking temperature and time (if relevant). Submission deadline is August 1, 2007. All those whose recipes are used in the book will receive credit in the book. No limit on number of submissions.

    Thank you all for you help and for your support over the years. My staff, Tracy Hickman and I want Leaves III--our final product--to serve as a tribute to all Dragonlance fans everywhere.

    Margaret Weis

    Please note, if you wish to submit something, make it your best!

    I will stick this thread for Q&A purposes.

    I thought I was going crazy earlier! Did you put this up and remove it earlier?
    The official canon of Dragonlance, for a variety of reasons, is not as good as it could be. I do it better.

    Yes, sorry. I thought it was ready to go and there were a couple of last-minute changes. I was a little too anxious. :o

    Good news indeed! I think it's awesome that Margaret Weis Productions has extended this invitation to us mortals! It just goes to show their kindness. I might just have to get Ms Ravenmantle to put together a nice cake for the book (she's a baker, you know ).

    The wording of this, particularly the sentence regarding Paladine and Takhisis, makes me think that some of the best of the rejected Holy Artifacts Challenge artifacts will be used. Correct am I?

    Margaret could clarify further on this, but I believe the two winning artifacts will be in Amber and Blood. Leaves III will be a place for artifacts of other gods, I believe.

    "We already have artifacts from Paladine and Takhisis..."

    That's what makes me think that.

    first off , Wow. what a treat!

    now on to my many questions.

    does material need to be on pre existing artifacts, people, places, magic items?
    or can it be original?

    if it needs to be pre existing, what advise can you give on researching information on the material if we can not find details ourselves?

    are feats and spells submittable?

    any advise on things to avoid?

    are we going to try and co-ordinate our submissions? so we all dont try and submit for the same things? announcing what you would like to work on could cut down on competition and allow this community to cover a larger material base. also more things may get accepted into the final product if we can cooperate.

    my main concern is dealing with submissions, only pre existing? or original works acceptable?

    thanks for any and all replies.

    Now, I'm not Trampas or Ms Weis but I'm guessing "no" on that question, mainly because it's my understanding that this won't be a gamer-centric product but rather a product for both gamers and novel readers.

    Again, not Trampas or Ms Weis here but I'm guessing original content. Why would they want to reprint existing material?
