Deep into Mongol Month we have finally
gotten the results from the last of the judges and I tallied them up
today.
Before I announce the winners of my top
three prizes though, I'd like to share where I got the cool prizes
from - all of the magnets, both refrigerator magnets and bumper
sticker magnets I got from BuildASign.com . They specialize in
banners and signs, but were able to meet my magnet needs easily and I
am most pleased with their product, both in price and quality, and
the service, which was speedy.
In case everyone doesn't remember what the magnets look like, here they are again -
Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the One Page Dungeon contest, all of the judges agreed that it was really tough to choose a winner and the top three were separated by a single point each.
Third place and a cool bumper sticker
style magnet goes to Richard J. LeBlanc Jr. of New Big Dragon Games
for "Þrymjahellir" which is available for download at his Save vs. Dragon blog in both one and two page versions.
Second place and another bumper sticker
magnet goes to Gustie LaRu of the "Dungeon of Signs" blog for "Hel's
Crow's Final Rest", which is available here.
So, the grand prize, the big, bumper
sticker magnet and a choice of old TSR modules from my collection
goes to Bard Bowman of the Clash of Spear on Shield blog for "The
Dødsbakken", available here.
Congratulations to the winners, and I
have to say this was great fun. I really look forward to next time.
Now, because it is Mongol Month, I feel
I need to at least give you all a bit of trivia, so here you go- The
Mongol Empire was the largest land based empire ever seen on the face
of the Earth. It encompassed the bulk of Asia and part of Europe. The
last ruling direct descendant of Genghis Khan was deposed by the
Czars in the mid-18th century, more than five centuries after Genghis
Khan died.
Great ones!
ReplyDeleteHow about a compilation of all entries? ;)
I'd actually like to do a compilation of all of the entries, but I neglected to ask everyone if it would be OK to do so when I announced the contest. I am in the process of asking now and everyone who gives me permission to use their work will be included in a compilation. I just have to hunt through all of my old emails and find everyone again.
DeleteIt looks like a lot of work went into those and the results are definitely inspiring. I'm glad I didn't have to choose. If a compilation were technically possible, it would be great to have. If not, or possibly as well as, maybe the people who entered who haven't posted their entry yet would be willing to, and then there could just be a master list.
ReplyDeleteas one of the judges, I must give a shout out to 2 of my other favs that didn't place:
ReplyDeleteTomb of Oddli and Cave of Seiljua. I actually wimped out and awarded a first place tie to those 2 and Þrymjahellir & Hel's Crow's Final Rest coz I'm weak... very cool stuff folks. I'll see if I can cajole El Kan Grande to post them all together for everyone's enjoyment!
Wow, thanks to you and the judges! I just had a heck of a lot of fun writing my entry -- I never thought I'd actually win. I can't wait to see the compilation!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to spend the day at work with a big smile on my face that none of my colleagues will understand. :)
Ditto was Bard said... thanks to you and the judges! I had a blast working on these, and the viking theme was a great inspiration. And thanks for giving me a reason to use the thorn (Þ) character!
ReplyDeleteYou guys interested in another themed contest? I have an idea...
DeleteAlways!
