Didn't someone do a similar theme to do this in BG2? :huh:

Given the limited scope of themes and the wide array of topics covered by teambg and ppg before. This is a viable theme for BG1. Andyr's guy who I can neither pronounce nor spell would have been an obvious strong contender.

The theme is fun with slime, not with slimes.. Use some imagination here folks.. vendors that sell magical slimeburgers that have spell effects. slime spells that make your opponent keep falling for 1d4 rounds, slow them down or poison them. A fingurine item that summond 1d4 slimes once a day. a slime quest where you have to be polymorphed into a slime to sneak into a building under the door.. there are millions of possibilities (and I'm not entering.. I have a boatload of maps to make, and a new GUI MOD)

Thats it exactly! The stranger and more imaginative the better. The theme is just a reference point for your imagination to start at...and from there - the sky is the limit!

So long as the entry works as a mod anything is fine!

If you are still interested please feel free to submit an entry!

I have checked on and off over the past few days and there were no submissions so I guess if one person submits an entry they will be the winner!

I will leave consider this comp still open until Thursday 16th September at which stage if there are no entries i will pronounce it dead!

For anyone who does not wish to post their entry in the Contest Entries forum please feel free to email them to me at rabain@blackwyrmlair.net

Probably i'll run my slimepot from DLTC. Considering it didn't win on the tbg contest, probably here it will be more lucky :)
Soon I'll regret that it is in DLTC, it will become a completely unoriginal idea like drizzt with the cat. :angry:

Rabain wants something which runs with BG1, so your slimepot will need some change :)

Contest of September has ended! Jastey got the gold medal (and the own 500MB space as the prize), check the Black Wyrm Contest forums for more information! :)
Those who did not manage to join but would have liked to, don't have to be disappointed because October's contest is near!

Edit: mistake (aargh I posted the same text in all forums and I've written 'price' everywhere instead of 'prize')
