AV 16 is what you're looking for.
If you look past the plot and the voice acting, Metroid: Other M was an okay game. Not a great game, but an adequate one.

Not using the Metroid item collect jingle though? That, was a mistake.

Old preview has a spelljammer. (As a spelljammer fan I find that particular vehicle very disappointing.)

AV excerpt has an airship.

That'll do. I'd hate to have to buy a book just to do the contest, but those excerpts should give me enough ideas to work with.

On a more on-topic note, everybody congratulate XDMC #11 winner (and XDMC #12 judge) Koradzi on his spiffy new Custom Title!

D'awww.

Also, thanks to Dulsi for the handy links!

"The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else."
-Umberto Eco, from Travels in Hyperreality

"The first adventurer was a nuisance.  I am sure he acted against his mother's, his wife's, and the council of old men's strict orders when he did it; but it was he that found where the mammoths die and where after a thousand years of use there was still enough ivory to equip the entire tribe with weapons.  Such is the ultimate outline of the adventurer; society's benefactor as well as pest."
-William Bolitho, from Twelve Against the Gods

Procedural questions for some of the Optional Elements:

For optional element 1, would it be satisfied if perhaps some or all of the crew, but not the pilot him/herself, were of an appropriate size?

For optional element 9, would it be satisfied if the pilot and/or members of the crew, who are of a non-natural origin, also provide the power for the vehicle? The best example I can give without spoiling my concept would be, actually, the Flintstones: Fred Flintstone is both pilot and "beast of burden" for his car.

Take your time getting back to me on these, because I've got a lot of work still to do on this concept before I worry too much about the optional elements.

Also, I would like to join Furion Thamior in politely requesting that Someone get out of my brain.

The element specifies that "the vehicle was designed to be piloted by creatures that are Tiny, Large, Huge or Gargantuan in size." Thus, the vehicle is to be designed by a pilot who is Tiny, Large, Huge or Gargantuan. The element does not state what size the crew need be.

For optional element 9, would it be satisfied if the pilot and/or members of the crew, who are of a non-natural origin, also provide the power for the vehicle? The best example I can give without spoiling my concept would be, actually, the Flintstones: Fred Flintstone is both pilot and "beast of burden" for his car.


If the pilot is physically pulling or pushing the vehicle, then yes. You could not fulfill this element, for example, by having a beholder use its telekinesis eye ray to move the vehicle. However, an eladrin dragging a rickshaw (that can handle 5 adventurers) would fulfill this element.
