Mar 11, 2005 9:34:09 Canonfire! is sponsoring a spring 2005 Postfest. Greyhawkers, rev up your imaginations and start working on your submission(s). The topic this round is:

Magic of Greyhawk

Participants are invited to write about a magical item or spell unique to the World of Greyhawk. Simply devise a magical item or spell and detail its use and lore. If you already have an unpublished spell or magic item, now is your chance to get it out in the open for all to enjoy. You may also explore the history of existing spells and enchanted objects. For example, what event prompted Nytsul to develop his expeditious fire extinguisher? Or, what dark mystery shrouds the reasons for the creation of the cord of Ekbir?

As usual, statistics are welcome for any edition of Dungeons & Dragons®, but the emphasis should be on what makes your spell interesting and unique. What it is and what it does are important. But, even more pressing, why is it here? Who crafted it, and why? Where did it come from? Was the spell created out of compulsive fear of some specific doom, or out of everyday necessity? Was the court wizard compelled by his evil king to craft a heinous scepter to exert greater malign control? Or, did the obscure priest devise a simple, yet specific, protection for his small congregation? The choice is yours.

The Guidelines
While there are no restrictions to your imagination, there are a few rules that govern content and format.

1. Visit the Canonfire! Web site at www.canonfire.com.

At the end, we’ll choose a Postfest winner from among the submissions. But, more on that later.

Still wondering what Postfest is?
A Postfest is a contest where fans of the World of Greyhawk write their own takes on a given Greyhawk topic. Postfests originated on the TSR/AOL mail list when the World of Greyhawk was an inactive setting. Members of the list submitted written entries to the list, and many aspects of Greyhawk saw continued development. The only thing that has changed is that Postfest has moved from a mail list to a Web based platform. The written topics are still set in Greyhawk and fans from far and wide are all invited to participate. There is no prerequisite or experience necessary – the Postfest is for everyone and anyone who is willing and able to write about the topic and submits his or her entry before the deadline. All of the entries are subsequently published and shared on the Canonfire! Web site for all to enjoy.

Have you written your Magic Item of Greyhawk submission?

While it's not the last moment, it is the last full weekend to write your Magic of Greyhawk entry for Postfest.

The deadline is Friday, April 1, 2005. And, that's no joke! :P

Here is an example, to tantalize the timid. Cut and paste the following link to read about the mythical Orb of Sol.
