SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Remember the One Page Dungeon Contest 2009? Good times! :)

Dates: Submission deadline is March 1, 0:00 GMT. Based on last year's experience, judges will have one month to read all the submissions and another two weeks to discuss the result. Winners will be announced April 18, 0:00 GMT. A pitty this will be too late for International Traditional Gaming Week 2010!

Prizes: Do you have prizes to donate? Let me know → kensanata@gmail.com!

Submissions: Here's how to submit your entry.

  • Participants create a One Page Dungeon.
  • Submitting a dungeon to the contest releases it under the Creative Common Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license with credit to the contest participant.
  • The submission must have a name, an author, a map, a key, a link to the license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) and no game stats.
  • A link to your blog, wandering monsters, random events, adventure background or introduction, and descriptions of tricks or traps are all optional.
  • One entry per participant. Participants may revise/replace their entries up until the end of contest, with the last revision counting as their official entry.
  • Submission must be mailed in PDF, Open Office, or Microsoft Word format to Alex Schröder → kensanata@gmail.com.
  • If you're also hosting your submission elsewhere, you're welcome to link to it from the One Page Dungeon Contest page.
  • If you're not hosting your submission elsewhere, your entry may be hosted on the contest site.

Process: Here's how we'll determine the winners.

  • Every judge nominates twenty entries and proposes a category for each.
  • We prepare a list of the entries that get three or more nominations. These are the nominations.
  • Every judge again nominates five entries from this smaller list.
  • All entries getting three nominations or more are the judge's picks.
  • We try to make sure that every judge has at least three of his picks in the final list. Judge with an eclectic taste may find that not many of their nominations made it into this list. As the idea is to not only reflect popular opinion but to also capture some of the more eclectic entries out there, judges may add additional submission to the judge's picks until we feel that every judge is well represented. We'll try to aim for three entries per judge.
  • Based on the categories proposed in the first step, we try to assign a category to each entry on the list.
  • The result is our release candidate 1. Judges gets to check whether their favorites are still on the list.
  • We fix omissions and rename categories until we're happy. This is our release candidate 2.
  • We revise everything until we're happy. We have our list of winners! :)
  • If we have prizes (we currently don't) each judge gets to nominate their favorite entry for a prize.
  • We publish our list of winners!
  • Somebody puts together a PDF of all the entries and a PDF of all the winners. We'll make these PDFs available for download at no cost.
