Well, there have been rumblings recently about putting together a list of fan made scenarios in one place for easy reference. Both for new players who desperately want something once they've played the original scenarios to death and have no idea where to look, and also for old hands who might have missed something. I seem to have a little time on my hands these days, so I've decided to shoulder this burden and see what comes of it.
The first step will be to locate and collect as many fan scenarios as we can. Single shot maps and campaigns of multiple levels, all are welcome. If your fan made content includes a large number of house rules of homebrewed monsters/weapons/whatever, please be sure to mention that. I think I'd like to compile separate lists of "scenarios that require new bits or house rules" and "scenarios that can be played with what's in the box(es)" That way people reading the compiled list can easily weed out one category or the other based on their personal preference.
For now I just want as much content as I can find, and I will be surfing the web myself, but I welcome others to point stuff out here in this thread. When submitting something to the list, please try to follow these guidelines:
1) Please check previous posts to make sure the scenarios you're adding are new and haven't been added already
2) Please try to provide a link to a website where the scenario can be found. If you don't know of any website, PM me and we'll figure something out.
2) Please mention if the scenarios use extensive house rules or require some arts and crafts to make new monsters or weapons, etc
3) Please make sure to mention the original author of the scenario in your post (whether it's you or someone else whose stuff you found on the web)
4) If you've designed a scenario and come here to find someone else submitted it, feel free to promote yourself, but don't resubmit the scenario unless you've made changes since the version submitted.
5) IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU MADE AND ITS INCORRECTLY CREDITED TO SOMEONE ELSE, PLEASE PM ME INSTEAD OF POSTING HERE. We'll try to figure out what happened and make sure the right person gets credit, but I'd prefer not to see this thread devolve into a flamewar about who made what. Also, please be prepared to back up your claims with whatever evidence you might have.
Hopefully that last one won't be a huge issue. Everyone around here seems pretty nice, and since nothing's for profit anyway, I'm hoping there won't be too many shenanigans. Still, I'd like to be prepared for the worst.
Assuming this goes well, future steps in the process will be to rank fan made content on a five-star system, compile a shorter list of "best of the best" stuff and ultimately to provide one single place where all the scenarios can be found for those who want a simple reference point for new material. I'll either update this thread or make a new one when the time comes to move on past the collection phase.
