My my my, we just loooove to hear ourselves don't we?
Ok, if there's two things I've gleaned from our work over at Game Theory Co-Op, it's this:
1) Accept the Groundwater Deity as your personal savior or perish, and
2) People are busy
In deference to item #2, this design contest's theme is the classic ONE-PAGE ADVENTURE. Nice, quick, easy. Fit it all onto a single page, and let's see who can come up with the best one. We'll give those "other" one-page dungeon contests a run for their money (presumably, unless the folk here talk the talk, but won't walk the walk).
Just so there's no accusations of personal bias or subjective rulings, I hope to recruit one or two other members of this forum who aren't planning on competing to share the judge position with me (ideally, one "inexperienced" member and one "experienced" one).
The submission deadline for these will be March 1, 2020.
If you think you've got some writing chops to demonstrate, or want to show off a neat idea you have, or just generally want to see how your work measures up, you can sign up in this thread. Winners, like our past contest winners Grutzi and shib71, are just straight-up better than you right now... are you sure you can live with that? No? Then WIN THIS CONTEST!
Note: If you've already participated in a one-page dungeon contest, there's no problem if you want to submit your existing work for this contest. In fact, I strongly encourage it - more entries means a better contest, especially if you have done something before and are perhaps less likely to want to make something from scratch. Likewise if you want to take your work from here and submit it "over there", I don't see any problem with that.
Further note: I understand not everyone has ability or skill to make their own maps, so entries will NOT BE PENALIZED on the quality of any graphics, though there will be extra points awarded for how the graphics are used/incorporated into the 1-page format to make a complete, easy-to-use package. If you require a map, Dyson has your back - we won't be deducting points if you choose to go that route.
So, tenfootpole.org adventure design forum, let the games begin!
