My Campaign

All right... I had to rework my original idea, and with it I think went the name.. who knows? It was originally titled Rebirth.


The Setting:

Most of the setting takes place in a peaceful Kingdom, Pryori . As well as the land surrounding it. In the end, however, it will be some hellish place that I've yet to come up with.


The Heroes:

Jaedron - A demon that was given a soul, for the sake of living like, and learning about the humans. Once the soul is taken away...

Timorous - The uber-demon. It was his plan to give Jaedron the soul, then aid his demon recovery.

Crilian, Soul Hunter - Convinced that Jaedron killed his sister, Crilian thirsts for revenge.

Priestess Aalana - High Elf sorceress who gives aid to Sascha's magic training.

Zarban - The wize old wizard who never seems to have the answers, but knows how *you* can find them.

Don't Have a Name Yet - Orcish Warchief, knowing the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of Sascha, will sacrifice his life for hers.

Sascha Winterpetal, Firstborn - The Firstborn crossbreed of Human and Night Elf, was given a last name from her father, and most hero abilities from her mother. Both of whom, were killed by Jaedron when she was a child.


The Story:

As a child, Sascha was told many legendary tales by her parents. Tales of the Greenskins and Outlanders, and how they fought ages ago... Tales of sacrifices made in the ultimate struggles of good vs. evil...

One of these tales, would soon involve Sascha alot more than she ever could have known, and a lot sooner than she could have wanted. It was a story about a man, Jaedron, who was possessed by the undead, and killed his wife, Risa.

It didn't take long for Risa's brother, Crilian to chase down Jaedron, only to find he had grown into a powerful undead warrior. The lines had been drawn, and Jaedron was about to cross...

He crossed the Valley of Le'ir and into the Kingdom of Pryori, killing all the villagers in the small town of Que'ron. This included the parents of young Sascha... who was saved by Crilian and near forced into becoming the saving grace of the living world.

Misc Stuff

Basically, the above is a shortened account of the first three episodes. I have a plan for a total of 20 maps, all of which can be played during the campaign, but 3 will not be available each time you play. It is not random, your choices in various parts of the game will determine which of the four "select" maps you will play, leaving 3 not to be played. The first and last maps will simply be cinematics, so that reduces the maps that will actually be "played" down to 15.

- You will play as all of the following races: Night Elves, Human, Undead, Orcs, Chaos Orcs, and High Elves.
- 15 maps to play
- 3 alternate ending maps (movie will be the same).
- Custom music, skins and voices (I hope).


Help!

Would you like to help? (I hope hehe) This is what I am in need of:

Maps - Make 1 or make them all!
Triggers - I think what I need is too complicated for me :(
Cinematographer - 2 full cinematic maps, and some smaller ones throughout the campaign.
Musician - Need to be willing to make music for the mood, and the right length for cinematics.
Skinners! - You want to skin a hero or "Supporting Cast" character?
Voice Actors - Want to voice a hero or supporting cast character?
Creative Consultant - heh... work with me on the script.

Last Bits

I, of course, am going to do all I can in each of the above categories. For me, I want to get the script done as soon as possible, to let mappers and triggerers know the general mood and feel of each map. I already have a few voice actors, but I still need a few...

If you'd like to help give me your background in the field you wish to help with. If you can upload, or send a link.. that works too :)

I can help you with triggers.

Hmm, sounds interesting. I would like to be a creative consultant. I enjoy writing and am told I am pretty good at it

First off I know i only have 2 posts, so CrRyHaVoC, don't complain at me. I have made some fairly decent Cinematographies by myself and would like a chance to help in this project. I also have some fair map design skills if needed.

Same kind of deal for me with posting, just due to the simple fact that it takes alot to get me posting on forums.

catdude: you just registered and i see your name on multiple posts saying something similar to your post on this thread. i don't think anyone on the wc3 forums has any idea of your abilities or qualifications to perform the activities that you sign up for. you only have 3 posts at this time. there's nothing worse when a designer depends on the people who said they would help beta test, only to find out that they dont know whats going on or won't even help out.

Ive lurked at the forums for quite a while and saw a few things I was interested in so I signed up. I can't really post past experience because I haven't done any modding before, but I have done quite a bit of writing before, though none of it professional or widely circulated, and would like to help, thats all.

good enough for me

i can help you with names, and continuing your story, i made one myself (my nick bobek, see: heeeeeeelp! and my project need help)

Hey wow... replies!

catdude - send me a PM and we'll get hooked up some chat way or something and get the whole story ironed out... please write me a little something, or send something in the PM tho.. wanna make sure you've got the style I need :)

CryHavoc - cool cool, i hope you're awesome 'cuz I'm not :) First thing is... is there a way to add say, points to a hero stat for a certain amount of time this said hero is in a certain place? I almost think there is, and almost think I could handle it.. but that's the SIMPLE one... secondly.. is there a way to take actions of the Hero into account when in later missions? I mean, say the hero chose to complete a mission an easy way rather than a hard way.. could then, in a later map... an action occur based on the chosen path? If so, then everything I need is possible ;)

swimmingcactus - please send/link me a short cinematic you've created.. (I'll assume you also created the map, so I'll judge map based on the cinematic as well).

bobek - I need to look at the posts you've referred to sometime before I go to sleep tonight :)

I have a script all set for the intro cinematic, then I had the chapter 2 script all written out before computer froze (and silly me is out of the "saving" habit...). I'll need to re-write script for 2.. big important triggers like those I've mentioned don't come into play until chapter 3 or 4... don't remember which. If any of you would like more detailed info, email me at [email protected] and I'll send you all the informations I've created so far


thanks for the interest :)
