Ah, "Thirty solomonic suggestions for November" ended up as 18 by me and 3 by Ramidel - I really ought to add a few more to increase it.

Seems a bit more doable, that 
I'm tempted, but my low hanging fruit on this are 19 Dunsany stories from 51 Tales ("The Food of Death") and the miscellaneous bits of Hunt's Romances of Cornwall.
I'm a bit worried because Romances of Cornwall seems to be the least popular of the regular subjects of my podcast. I'm still committed to doing it, but the cool thing about upping my podcast plan for this month to get in next week's Enormous Episode in is that I get the detailed stats package thrown in, and I've not seen it before. People don't hate the Cornish stuff by any means, it just loses about 10-20 listeners each week, and so I'm a bit leery of carpet bombing with it.
It might just be that the bits of Hunt I'm burning through are the weaker ones. I'm doing Saints and Holy Wells now, which gets me to King Arthur.
Anyway...you know how I said I couldn't do 30 days because I was trying to fill out my podcast plan? I'm about to record the last chunk of that, so I'll have time to do something, but I'm not sure what.
OK, eight days until November!
It's looking like I will go with the hermetic lab a day, as Tellus would like to see it and it was raccoonmask's second choice. I'm reading up on the rules in Covenants - I may have to invent a few lab enchantments to get the effects I want, or to install certain virtues/flaws.
Hmm.. I'll have to re-read the Bonisagus section of HoH:TL, but I might try and stat up a Folio a day, could be interesting and gives a variety of different types of Hermetic writings for people to play with?
Folios are a fair amount of work. I got some help from the forums here to come up with a Bonisagus Folio which became an entire article in Peripheral Code's first issue.
Even if you only did one "chapter" of the Folio each day, you'd still have one Folio every week (or so) by the end, and that's not bad.
The lab idea is also great. If you're inventing some new enchantments, that will add to the shopping list for other magi working on their own labs.
I’ll be (trying to) write a spell a day in Nov on the blog. I had a handful almost ready and it will be a good motivation to post regularly.
Excellent! This looks like a bumper month.
I can't remember anyone starting a new thread about community writing projects, so it's time for the annual revival of this thread for "What writing projects are people doing for November?" Last year Timothy produced a lot, I produced a lab a day, Imreai produced realia, and ironboundtome added 43 spells/spell variations.
Do people want to try a community project this year?
2016 had the 30 pages for November project redcap event, which was fun. Creating characters together could make a good team effort, like a covenant or a group of companions.
What daily item would you like to see?
Last year's "lab a day" went better than naranj a day or enchanted item a day did. I've come up with a list of possibilities:
A Vis source a day
A wealth creation scheme a day
A covenant situation/setting idea a day
A plotline a day - using Polti's 36 plots as suggested by Mr Ferguson, come up with slightly different story seeds that don't revolve around killing the monster and taking its loot.
A bit more time-consuming:
A non-Hermetic effect a day - to use all those hedge/rival types we never use. Will force me to spend a bit of time reading those rules
Marcus of Paris' recruitment folder - as per The Lion and The Lily, Marcus of Paris is a redcap who recruits colourful people. This will probably a grog thrown together using the grog packages most days, but at weekends I might have the time to make a companion with a modest number of virtues and flaws to add variety.
With concern for the non-hermetic effect per day, what would be both of more use to me (granted I'm not running a game at the moment so not of immediate use regardless) and easier to do than a collection from all of the different traditions, is a collection of 30 different effects from the same tradition. I'd rather have a significantly deeper grimore for one just the vitkir, augustinians, learned magicians, or whomever you choose than just a spell or two for a dozen different traditions. With 30 new spells I'd have a good toolbox of examples for creating a long term NPC to use. With two, I'd just forget about them.
Since rune wizards are likely to feature extensively in my current saga, I'd love to see some rune scripts :-/
This year I'm doing monsters. I was going to do a Venice thing, but I'm so far behind on statting up the blog I'm going to solve one problem with another.
Makes sense. And feel free to re-use some of them.
EDIT: Meaning all of them, obviously!
Sometime in the last year I was thinking about this, and might try to do an interesting apprentice a day. I got this idea during my Thebes tribunal saga where the players each came up with 1-2 apprentices to be met/introduced to the new magi who were babysitting.
That sounds like a cool idea if playing in Thebes. Player magi who want an apprentice and have Tokens to spare might like to shop around.
We could actually use that:
Gotschalg's Pater has collected a few apprentices - too many in fact!
Now he's pawning a few of them off on his (former) apprentice to deal with.
Their Arts have already been opened, so that's not an issue.
Selfishly I’d love to see maps and artwork specific to Ars. I can (erratically) write characters and spells, but no talent or idea for art/maps.
I’d happily pay a moderate amount for it too.
So far that's one vote in favour of rune scripts.
The apprentices idea is a reasonable one - not every magus gets it right and finds the perfect candidate at the first attempt. In Thebes, the unloved magi with no tokens have to make do with the leftovers other magi don't want. There's room for all sorts of backgrounds so people can have magi from any family in Mythic Europe.
Rune scripts sound fun. I'd love to see some too.
I've been thinking of doing something again and one of my players is a verditius in the contrafraternity of Roland and he has suggested a writing up a magical sword each day, would people be interested in this?
