Halloween regional map...

[mmmmmpig]

and didn't I read somewhere that it is also a map that you dreamed about? Going up against your skilz when you are not super inspired is daunting, going up against them when muses and fates have given you influence, that is just plain silly.

all in all, I would be up for it.

Yeah, I thought about that, but sometimes my ideas are waaaay out there, and despite being "good" aren't always popular when it comes time to vote. Halloween's my favorite holiday, and I think everyone would be interested in attempting something on the dark side, for the sake of it.

The question a potential entrant might ask themselves, "How can I induce horror in a map?" - the answer is by being creative, plus a horror map is open to lots of styles and genres. Horror works great in B/W, so old school maps could rock, by odd monochromes in greens, reds or blues can also induce horror. Blood and bruise colors is another way to go. Color is just one aspect in creating a feeling of horror.

Alien, the original movie was more horror than Sci-Fi, so horror can easily be adapted into a sci-fi map, fantasy anywhere on the timeline, old west, pirate, anything. Any geography can lend itself well to horror as well.

The secret is how to weave a map using the elements to induce horror. I think it would be fun!

Weaving horror in a map is easy, you just need my abhorrent skill at photoshop and the will to actually show people how you butchered a perfectly decent .jpg

kidding of course... but I thought it was a witty answer none the less....

I say a horror theme would be cool.... i'll see what the CL's think.... but I wouldn't hold my breath on it, last I checked it was looking like a done deal.

RP, just posted we could create a poll thread for challenge ideas - so I did!

And I did qualify myself, saying that the CL's have probably already decided on an October Challenge...

It could still work fine as a November Challenge though!
