Download the archive with All One Page Dungeon Contest 2012 Submissions, or visit the One Page Dungeon Contest 2012 page and download individual submissions. Don't forget to check out the authors' blog posts, if available. Let me know if you discover items that I should be linking from that page.

We have lots of submissions but we could use some more CoC or Elric themed adventures!

There are still two week-ends left to write up a one page dungeon and submit it to the contest if you haven't already. Submission deadline is April 30, 0:00 GMT (Monday evening). If you live West of Greenwich, you will have to send in your submission a few hours before the end of the month! For the curious, several of the submissions on the contest page come with link to blog posts. Thus, a limited preview is available.

[highlight]One Page Dungeon Contest 2012[/highlight]! Dates: Submission deadline is April 30, 0:00 GMT (Monday evening). If you live West of Greenwich, you will have to send in your submission a few hours before the end of the month! Winners will be announced June 1. Help spread the word! Prizes & Sponsors: Do you have prizes to donate? Let me know → kensanata@gmail.com! Submissions: Here's how to submit your entry. 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, and a link to the license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/). The judges and readers play a variety of systems. Don't waste valuable space with a lot of system-specific stats. A link to extra material on your blog such as wandering monsters, random events, adventure background, introduction, descriptions of tricks or traps are welcome for readers but will not be considered part of your submission. 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. If your font size is too small to read, you will most probably not win. Many people will print your submission as a black and white document. Adding colors is no problem as long as the black and white printed copy is still good enough. Help us keep file size in check. A single page should not take more than an image with 3000x2000 pixels (1-2MB is cool, 5MB still works, 10MB is too much). Submission must be mailed in PDF format to Alex Schröder → kensanata@gmail.com. Usually we can help you convert your Open Office and Microsoft Word documents to PDF. If you have a blog article talking about your submission, send us the link. We'd love to link to it from the One Page Dungeon Contest page. Process: Here's how we'll determine the winners. Every judge nominates their favorite entries and proposes a category for each. We try to make sure that every judge has at least three of their nominations in the final list. The idea is to not only reflect popular opinion but to also capture some of the more eclectic entries out there. We'll make sure that every judge is well represented with three entries each. Based on the categories proposed in the first step, we try to assign a category to each entry on the list. Judges gets to check whether their favorites are still on the list. We fix omissions and rename categories until we're happy. We publish our list of winners! We will ask each winner for three items they'd prefer to win and any items they prefer not to win. Then we try to do a best match, giving precedence to those winners that got more nominations in the first step. All the entries and a special PDF with all the winners will be available for download at no cost.

The judges have read all the submissions, have made all their notes, have nominated all their favorites, have reviewed all the candidates, and have determined the One Page Dungeon Contest 2011 Winners!

I haven't read them yet! Eventually there will be a list of winners and appropriate categories for them. But other than that, the contest page is a wiki page -- so feel free to add info as you read through them.

The submissions are all available for download! In the mean time judges will spend their evenings reading them all and taking notes.

Five more days! I have integrated countless One Page Dungeon Contest submissions into my campaigns. It didn't matter whether they won or not. These One Page Dungeon Contest entries are a treasure trove of material. I absolutely love them. Everything you need, available at a glance. There are close to fifty prizes available for the winners of the One Page Dungeon Contest 2011. How hard can it be? Take the events of your last session and write them up on a single page, digitize it and send it in. It's better to be safe than sorry – don't send it in a mere hours before the deadline. Send it in now and send any last minute corrections a mere hours before the deadline. There is no easier way to loose than not participating. I hope you will participate! Submission must be mailed in to Alex Schröder → kensanata@gmail.com. Best of luck!

Two more weeks to go! A map, an intrigue, monsters, treasure, enemies, allies – what does an adventure for your game night require? Whatever it is, if you wrote it up, you should send it in! The due date for the One Page Dungeon Contest 2011 is the first second of April 1, 2011, UTC. If you live in the United States, that means you may have to send in your entry many hours before the last day of March ends. What better way to make sure you don't miss the deadline than sending your entry as soon as possible? Don't worry, you can send in revisions up to the very end. Submission must be mailed in PDF, Open Office, or Microsoft Word format to Alex Schröder → kensanata@gmail.com. Check out the sweet loot awaiting the winners of this year's contest in the sponsor section of the One Page Dungeon Contest 2011 page. Best of luck!

There's a copy available from here.

Hahaha. Actually that reminds of Shane Mangus' entry...

Well, you can use names or themes from the Young Kingdoms, for example. You can have Stormbringer, if you must. It doesn't need stats...

Thanks. I hope to see more Call of Cthulhu or Elric themed entries this year. The last Call of Cthulhu inspired entry I remember was The Horror of Leatherbury House by Michael Wolf in 2009.

I'm trying to reach out beyond the typical D&D players. If your game prep for the night fits on a page, it might be a suitable entry for the contest. What do you think? Dates: Submission deadline is April 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 May 16, 0:00 GMT. Prizes & Sponsors: Do you have prizes to donate? Let me know → kensanata@gmail.com! Submissions: Here's how to submit your entry.
