To: 7thsea@darkedge.com From: Scott Gearin Subject: [7thSea] A Contest: The Mysterious Island! Reply-To: 7thsea@darkedge.com Arr mateys!! I do be purposing my first 7th Sea contest: "The Mysterious Island" The seas of Theah are vast indeed, and every sailor has a tale of the lost island he visited that one time. Some are tales of mystery, others of lost gold and lost lives, but every tale must be true if ya died! I am looking for a 250 to 400 word description/story, in character, of an island that Hero visited and other Heroes might visit someday. The tale should not more than roughly place the island, nor give hard information of its size in the story. After the tale a quick, accurate description of the island, with particular attention to the presence of fresh water or other supplies a needy ship can bring aboard. Final, include one monster native to the island, a prize and/or one short adventure hook that makes the place more than a simple rest stop. Try for a total length no more than 1500 words. I will be available to read entries until August 5 (giving you a bit less than two weeks). Please put "The Mysterious Island" in the subject line of all entries. Questions about the contest may be directed to this thread. I wll announce winners after GenCon. I haven't figured out prizes yet (other than the envy of your fellow explorers and sailors), but I'm sure I can come up with something juicy... :) So come on! Tell us lads: "Did'ja die?"
