Plot
I want to make a DMOD but I can't think of a plot. Also, I want the main character to have a different name than Dink Smallwood (e.g.; Dink BloodStain).
Any suggestions?

The plot really doesn't matter. You could have Dink go save the world (again), or try to steal things from his neighbors to fund his banana habit.
Its the execution that counts.

How about Dink goes on a quest for bananas... so he can throw them... using my Banana weapon! Why? Because some-one has offered a reward for the first person to attack a rogue tribe of Goblins, defeat them and only using bananas to do so.
That's a good idea (I think I'll make another DMOD out of it after this one) but I'm not into that sort of plot right now.
Okay here's an idea... Dink is summoned by King Daniel to go to a neighbouring Kingdom to act as a spy... as war is looming (for reasons unknown - maybe the neighbouring King thought Daniel could do with some exercise).
Dink dies on the way there... but gets resurrected... and the player can choose to come back as a:
a) young warrior
b) apprentice wizard
c) young maiden
Temproarily dispossessing the soul of the body he gets to choose (The Gods are doing this, as they are bored - all done in a beautiful cut scene)
Now the reincarnated Dink arrives back at Castle Goodheart to find King Dan dead, and the land under oppression. So he/she decides to free the land...
And the rest is the tasks need for Dink (or whatever new name is needed) to rise up through the ranks of
a) Soldierhood
b) Wizardry
c) Feminie ways [choose what you want for that, spy, combination of warrior and sorceress, succubus... )
In the End if the Player is successful Dink becomes King/Queen...
And the DMOD is called "Resurrection"

That is cool! Though I think the King should be called somethink else, and Dink gets a cool village of fun stuff at the end.
Thanks Simon!!
Thanks Simon!!
Maybe a "Plot-Heavy" d-mod would be a good idea for the next contest.
As for epic plots, I have many stored on my hard drive. Unfortunately, they don't seem to develop themselves into d-mods, how strange. I did use the command : plot_to_code("plot.txt"); but it seems to be a bit buggy. Maybe something for Windemere?

If you can't think of anything, let me know. If you have a good DMOD plot but you are too lazy to go on with it (ever), let me know.
Where is the n00b cannon!?
You need to read up more on what Windemere DOES before you assume things.
And Kyle: Heh, I doubt there will be support for that.

What does Windermere do? I thought it was a place in the original Dink.
It is, but it's also the name of the new Dink Smallwood Engine in development... It's also the name when it's finished by the way
Assuming that the general Dink population knows about Windemere is a bit too much. AFAIK, there exists a *substantial* portion of Dinkers who never venture into the dank dark heights of this here Message Board, and rely on the main news page to inform them of all events. And Windemere hasn't been mentioned, I think.
Plus, don't get out the 'n00b cannon'... politely inform those who are new what Windemere is (as it is sort of confusing), don't just tell them to read up on it when there isn't really easy way to do so. At least you didn't do a WC, and I thanks yous for that.

I have a few hundred. But you don't want my ideas. Trust me on that.

Sabre's telling the truth this time. When he talks about d-mods being cancelled or ideas thrown away it's always the truth, when he talks about d-mods in production... Well, let's just say it's not always the full truth
My truth is generally very different to most peoples. Mainly because it's all lies...
Hehehe... I assure you all my lies are completely false.
And all my truths are lies. So, yes indeed, they are indeed "True Lies".
Wh... no... I'm getting confuddled now...
