52 Entries and Counting (on you to submit yours)!

With just under four days remaining in the 2018 One Page Dungeon Contest, we have reached 52 submissions as of this posting.  There has been a real spirit of collaboration this year, with creators encouraging, and even helping one another to make their entries even better!

There are a number of new creators submitting entries this year, as well as returning friends to the contest. I have had the good fortune to see all the entries as they are sent to me, and they do not disappoint!

The Fantasy genre has assumed dominance once again among the entries so far. I have yet to see an Espionage, Western, Gothic Horror, or even a Sci-Fi themed entry (that one surprises me as we usually see a few), but the submission period is still open and who knows what the weekend will bring.

Will "Infinity War" prompt an eleventh hour "Superheroic" One Page Dungeon this year?



With a number of past creators still missing from my inbox, I wonder if we will surpass last year's number of entries (the number to beat here is 78) in the remaining days. The current total has already surpassed my grim prediction of  low creator participation using a complex set of algorithms I came up with that I cannot explain, nor do I fully understand, so that's good news.

Heck Yes You Still Have Time!

If you are worried, or wondering if you still have time to create and submit an entry into the 2018 One Page Dungeon Contest, well the answer is yes, you do!

I created a One Page Dungeon today, starting from scratch. In fact, I managed to cram three One Page Dungeons into one, without going below 12 pt font (aside from the CC license which is 10 pt.).

Behold, The Multi-Purpose Dungeon.  I did this all today, from start to finish in between all the real life stuff , I swear to Graxxl!

You can grab it HERE.
(Edit: I have now uploaded the correct version, yikes!)

Would this one be a winner, if I was able to enter the contest and all that? Probably not, but it was fun to make. If I was able to enter, I would still have nine days to tweak it before the deadline (at the time this blog post was written).

I would probably drop one of the genres and flesh the remaining two out more, maybe even add a small illustration for each, but I digress. The point is that you still have plenty of time to create a One Page Dungeon this year!

-Aaron

For three other "grand prize winners" they are providing Boxed Sets of "Top Secret: New World Order", and PDF editions of "Top Secret NWO" for all other winners!

April 18th Update

Looking at the countdown timer, I see that there is a little over eleven days left to submit an entry for the 2018 One Page Dungeon Contest. Most of the current entries have been sent in by new/ first time participants this year, although I have been assured that many are planning on returning to the contest again this year for the tenth anniversary.  Looking over the entries that have been submitted so far (a perk of organizing the contest is being the first person to see them all as they come in) I can tell you that the judges have their work cut out for them!

The One Page Dungeon Contest has new(ish) Twitter and Facebook pages that are typically more up to date than this blog, so you should definitely check them out:

https://www.facebook.com/dungeoncontest

https://twitter.com/DungeonContest

Resources:

I added a resources page to the www.dungeoncontest.com website, but it is anything but exhaustive.

If you have any suggestions for information that would be helpful for first time or returning creators, especially given the ever-dwindling amount of time left in the submission period, by all means let me know in the comments, and I can add it to the website as well.

I started to work on this post earlier while looking for more resources, but I started watching  a Michael Prescott video and barely managed to pull myself out of the isometric rabbit hole in time to make a post.

This is the video that reeled me in and the start of my binge watching and it's worth much more than a crow's nest full of cookie packets!

Inspiration for One Page Dungeon Contest Entries

I was dropping my daughter off at a friend's house this afternoon, and instead of listening to one of two local college radio stations, she had control of the radio. A Taylor Swift song came on, one that I have passing familiarity with, but had not paid close attention to lyrics wise, and a snippet stuck with me. I thought, taken out of context, this could make for an interesting one page dungeon.

"Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby"
-Lyrics from "Ready For It?" by Taylor Swift

So my mind went to Inception, with the players as secret agents remotely invading the mind of a foe in order to uncover secrets, or perhaps even assassinate the villain from within.

The adventure would likely take place in one location given the size constraints of a one page dungeon entry, a memory that involved an Island just after sunset. The twist would be that the players would discover the villain to be a sympathetic character, or perhaps even come to doubt they had the correct person, but still forced to fight a large number of foes manifested by the target's subconscious.


A quick search of islands,and Pinaki Atoll, which is just over 170 acres is good inspiration for a location. A google translation of "lost blue" into French results in "Perdu Bleu", the name for my fictional resort on my fictional island.

The "dream state" of the island and resort has the staff and vacationers reacting to the player characters as other guests of the resort until they initiate any hostilities or are discovered accessing restricted areas. This allows the characters time to explore the island memory, which is an endless night.

I have been to an island resort once, so I can write about what little I know about the experience:
All inclusive, so lots of food and drinks, windsurfing classes, water aerobics, sunbathing, exclusive restaurants as well as buffets, a local town outside of the resort, theme nights, multiple bars, bonfires and beach parties after dark, etc...

So why this memory and this place?  Perhaps this is a memory of when the villain's partner died by drowning or perhaps even killed in the crossfire during an assassination attempt.  Maybe this is a stealth mission and the characters must alter the memory through their actions to convince the villain that he or she was ultimately responsible for the partners death. 

Maybe it is a memory from the villain/ protagonists childhood, and they are represented as a child in the adventure/ memory.

Maybe this whole adventure is set in a dystopian or post apocalyptic future, and a tech genius backed him or herself up with an artificially intelligent "cloud based" clone, and must be unraveled by accessing this seemingly innocuous memory.

There are a lot of ways to go with this, all from a snippet from a song improbably played on my car's radio.  

This is a decent start. Now to work out the map, the encounters, the items, the opponents, the challenges, the rewards, the art, the overall design, and fit it all onto one page!


What a Day, What a Lovely Day (to work on your one page dungeon)!

"Scavenger" class illo from my
Post Apocalyptic Hack.
There is definitely an up-tick in "non-fantasy" entries so far, and by "non-fantasy" I mean Post-Apocalyptic (19% of the current entries!). I am looking forward to the possibility that this year we will see more genre diversity (espionage/ sci-fi/ horror/ modern/ super heroic, etc.)

It is still "early" in the submission process for most creators (based on how close to the deadline entries are typically submitted each year), but for some creators having only two weeks (and three weekends) left (especially those working in collaboration with other creators) the May 1st midnight UMT deadline might be getting tight.

The first One Page Dungeon that Random Wizard and I worked on together (Meckwick's Revenge) took a few weeks to complete, as we were working on different aspects of it independently, and then had to put it all together in the end.  Add in the fact that I was still new to digital art and trying to figure out all the ins an outs of Photoshop and learning how to use my old Intuos tablet, all while juggling life.  Life definitely got in the way that year, but we manage to pull it off, submitting a final version very close to the deadline.


In short, make sure to give yourself enough time to submit an entry this year!
There are a lot of sponsors (twenty three with more coming!) offering incredibly generous prizes and you have the chance to be part of what is now a ten year tradition of wrestling with the constraints and design challenges the contest provides as well as share your work with a large (and ever-growing) audience! It is a great feeling to hear that someone used your creation as part of their campaign or as weekend one shot!

Wayne's Books is Sponsoring the 2018 One Page Dungeon Contest!



Wayne's Books is sponsoring a $100 gift certificate, as well as youth prizes.

The generosity and support of sponsors like Wayne have gone a long way towards making the One Page Dungeon Contest a tradition as opposed to a one-off event!

Will Doyle and Stacey Allen Raised the Bar and the Stakes!

Will Doyle recently tweeted, wondering if he and Stacey Allen would retain their grand prize winning crown. Well, technically they have a few of these crowns lying around over the course of the contest's history!

  I'm no judge, but looking at last year's winning entry by the duo, it probably won't be easy to nab that crown!

Luka Rejec and Michael Prescott are sponsoring the 2018 One Page Dungeon Contest!

Luka Rejec had the idea to produce a black and white illustration to accompany a winning One Page Dungeon entry, and asked how an artist could support the contest in this way.  Michael Prescott picked up on the idea as well, and the pair designed a prize that includes both a B/W illustration by Luka and an isometric map by Michael. Anyone familiar with their work, which is undoubtedly anyone reading this post, is aware of what a fantastic and unique prize this is.

Both Luka and Michael are past winners of the One Page Dungeon Contest, with entries that, well, speak for themselves...

 Thanks to Luka and Michael for making this prize possible!
