You might want to give more information there Wasabi. People don't know what kind of heroes are neccessary. You also might want to give more information regarding the campaign.

thats the problem flad... T_T
We dont got any info about it, so we are starting with heroes...
People can give any suggestion they want... absoulutely anything...
we will base a story upon those heroes...

Well... normally, people start out with a story and then a hero...

First map should be an RPG-Stylish missions (familiar to rexxars first), it should involve some quests where you get the grip of the story.
I was thinking that the campaign might be about a captain who seeks for some kind of treasure.. like that..
Thought, this is still in early-development :)

Even so, but a story is actually the primairy point in a campaign AND a RPG. To place it as blunt as possible, I highly suggest to think of a good story and think the heroes for it, not the opposite.

I'm a story writer myself, so I am slightly cranked (bit bad translated Dutch word :P) in my pride :)

Um... May I ask.. could you come up with an idea for us, main char should be human, it should start in a harbor town (duh, as said) and it should be kinda original.
Am I pushing it? :) I really have no sense of imagination...

Sure, give me a moment, I was browsing around and saw the link in your signature Vaga. I'm posting in it there... so, I'll see what I can do in a moment.

Hey fladian, no rush, we thought about making a campaign about Necromancy in Warcraft <no history yet>.
Come up with a story about necromancy, try reading this: http://wow.warcraftstrategy.com/lore_necromancy.php

Oh yeah, sorry if I'm sounding demandin, that's not my meaning.

Not at all, I'm feeling complimenten that someone is willing to give me a fair chance to help :)

Necromancy eh? Let me take a search in my document. It may take some minutes, but going through 72 pages each time you search something is a pain sometimes... even though I am proud on it :P

EDIT: Hmm... I forgot, I have little about Warcraft itself. I'll think of something now...

This isn't ment to be offensive or anything. But whether it's starting a campaign, or writing a book, or producing a movei or pretty much any creative endevour... you kind of need more than half an inkling of what you're doing.

Though nifty, I would be surprised if this campaign made it anywhere near off the ground.

Post Script: In fact, it's a good idea to have the whole thing finished and written out on paper before you decide to put it in WCIII.

Well, yes...since we are not going to make this any big... (many ppl tend to do HUGE projects, wich they never get done with cus they are too HUGE)

This campaign is gonna be around 3-4 maps of average size... btw. both of us are terrainers so we can easily terrain two maps ourselves.

That's pretty much which I thought as well. They might not have the stuff which is usually neccessary, but both Wasabi and Vagabond are very experienced guys so I have the faith that this will go well.

Also, WallFly, like Wasabi said, please don't double post. We have a nice glow-in-the-dark-edit-button out here, please make use of it.
