Heroica RPG 2nd Anniversary Building Contest - Rules and Discussion

[Kez]

Well, the rules says that you are allowed to link to larger versions of your pictures but not to additional ones. I'm not sure how links in signatures is handled though, but if you want to be on the safe side you can make the extra pictures private on your Flickr photostream and mark them as public once the contest is over.

In other news, I finished my entry yesterday.

Now I just need to take photos and all that crap.

Thanks, my photos are shocking , the lighting is rather poor in some of my images and in others its ok. But tbh my MOC looks better in person than on any of my pictures. I shall look forward to your entry when you upload it.

[Zepher]

Wonderful entries so far, everyone! Etzel, got to love your Paladins. I have a week before I head back to school, so I'm hoping to work on something. It's been years since I built and photographed a MOC, but I'm hoping to get it done.

@Dragonator @Brickdoctor

I have other pictures on my Flickr, is it ok to mention it and put a link in my signature?

Love your entry, Etzel! You represent the Henry-nominated builders well!

I can't answer that for Draggy, sorry. He's the one running the contest and deciding on the rules. I just clarify rules when I know their standard meaning on EB.

[Kez]

^ Ah ok, thanks though, I just don't want to be violating any rules

I would prefer not please, there should be three deeplinked images and that is all. Basically, all voting should be able to be done by judging your creation off just the three images. You are more than welcome to post a separate topic (in the appropriate forum) for your creation and post all of the pictures of it once the building contest has concluded.

Ok thanks, I may have to choose or retake some then. I will hide the rest until the competition is over, thanks

Edit: I have hid the rest and I hope to retake 3 (better quality) images as the lighting was rather poor

Awesome, Etzel! Paladins all the way!

Skrall is fighting on evil's side in Kez's MOC...his cousin at least.

Thanks Zeph! No surprises from me this time, but I guess I'll have to start building something outside the Order soon. This build will however feature in my next quest that I'm working on at the moment. Still a lot of work to do, but sometime this autumn it should be good to go.

Can't wait to see your entry! Sucks to be away from your bricks so I hope you get to make the best of the time you have left.

Love your entry, Etzel! You represent the Henry-nominated builders well!

Thanks Doc! Will we see an entry from you as well or are you not allowed to participate because of your staff position?

Awesome, Etzel! Paladins all the way!

Thank you very much! I think I need to branch out soon and try new factions and areas to build, but I've been too caught up with the story I want to tell about the Order.

[Brickdoctor]

Thanks Doc! Will we see an entry from you as well or are you not allowed to participate because of your staff position?

Not participating. But I'm building a lot already to keep up with my quest and with Shadows of Nar Eurbrikka, so I'm not sure if I would have had the time to build an entry.

[Zepher]

Yeah, I have to get some photography done for a quest first, but then I think I'll be good to MOC something up.

[Dragonator]

Thanks Doc! Will we see an entry from you as well or are you not allowed to participate because of your staff position?

He has no excuse, there is a staff category! Heckle him until he enters something for it.

Thanks for the comment, although as I am new to this, who is skrall , is it the big snake, the giant?

(I should hopefully have 3 better pictures uploaded today, and I will hide the rest)

Skrall is the Character of the player WaterbrickDown.

It has to be his cousin as Skrall is wearing a hat.

Ah right thankyou, for some reason I thought that it was a bionicle , Im thinking of also adding a few more characters to mine, maybe a few Paladins

[Kez]

I have updated the pictures,I hope they look better (I have also added 2 paladins to the MOC aswell as a few tiny features)

[Brickdoctor]

There's a reason for your thinking that; it is a Bionicle.

[Kez]

Haha, I knew I have heard that name before , doesnt it look awful (nearly as bad as the thing I made)

[Waterbrick Down]

It's weird, I didn't even know that figure existed when I made my character. Great to see the entry thread starting to fill, I'm planning on building something but I'm pretty restricted to minifigs right now. Hopefully that will change in the upcoming week.

Maybe it's Skrall in his thievin' days before he became a hunter and got a nice forestmen cap to put on his head.

Everyone knows that ogres are born extremely skeletal and with metre-long craniums.

One thing to note about Dastan: unlike in official LEGO themes, they aren't evil. You might want to check out the Dastan Trilogy: Quests 29, 30, and 31.

Oh hec, thanks very much for that, I will check them out now and I will hopefully make my description more suitable

[MKJoshA]

Most factions in Heroica are considered neutral, each having their "good" moments and their "bad" moments, so no need to worry about it too much. Heroica is primarily high fantasy (i.e. Lord of the rings) inspired, but has a good mix of pirates, steam punk, and oriental influences as well. The Ji Pei, as Capt.JohnPaul mentioned, resemble eastern culture and have much more advanced technology than some of the other factions or peoples. Quests 50, 75, and the end of 15 all feature airships and the Ji Pei, however I'm sure there are piratical factions out there that also own airships.

I'm really thankful for those of you who know Heroica and are willing to enlighten us newbies. My build is going to focus around dwarves. Anyone share some links so I can get to the who's and where's for dwarves? Also, am I allowed to post some WIPs to get feedback?

[Scubacarrot]

Dwarves surprisingly haven´t had much presence in Heroica, as far as I know. We know dwarves typically live in mountains and I would assume they have underground cities and mines as well, but how we´ve mostly seen dwarves is them being just part of Eubric as any other race.
