This year's theme is Vikings.
Specifically I am looking for Viking themed stuff I can plug into an
existing mega-dungeon as a sub-level or as a stand alone
mini-adventure. Feel free to spread the word to your gaming friends
and on your own blogs.
I buried the lead when I mention the
contest as a possibility the other day, and I got a lukewarm response
as a result. I also didn't mention where to send your One Page
Dungeons to, so you can email me directly at williamjdowie AT gmail
DOT com. I still managed to get one volunteer judge, so I am looking
for a couple more and I need some submissions.
Apparently the sweet refrigerator
magnets weren't enough to make you leap at the opportunity to show
your creative talents, so I have decided to up the ante and throw in
some genuine old school swag, I am going to open up my gaming vault
and let the top three winners take a pick from my module collection -
it's heavy on 1st edition AD&D modules, all are used, there are a
few doubles and a couple of "super-modules". I know the
complete A, S & D series are there, and the combo versions
(G-D-Q, S1-4) and Q1, T1; plus a whole bunch of Mentzer Era D&D
modules, mostly Basic and Expert, some higher level. I also have one
3e module, Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. Some of them are
in pretty rough shape, some are in damned good shape for their age
and the fact that they were opened up and used at all. Probably the
ones that held up the best were the "super-modules", "Queen
of the Spiders" and "Lankhmar: City of Adventure" both
look pretty good.
So, I'll be accepting submissions
starting now and running through October 1st, everyone who enters
will still receive a refrigerator magnet (while supplies last, after
they come in, provided you send me your postal address); so let's get
out there and show all the creative talent the OSR has to offer!
Guess I should have said more. I want the bumper sticker sticker but will settle for a fridge magnet, I cant draw for crap. I haven't made a "dungeon" in 20 yrs.

kevin, just a couple suggestions: there are a few great websites that generate random dungeons - you can always generate one and seed it yourself - that's the creative part anyway - or alternately you could set it in a wilderness or something where you don't need to draw a map...
ReplyDeleteI think I'll do this again next spring and have a Mongol theme, if I'd been thinking I'd have done a Mongol theme for the first contest. Or "Khan-test", as I've been informed I should have called this; I'd hate to miss the opportunity entirely.

ReplyDeleteSent mine a few days ago. I interpreted "viking" rather liberally. Folks can find it here:
