Contest Ideas

[ArlEammon]

How about best D&D nation?

[King_of_GRiffins]

This really is taking to long, isnt it? I suggest we take all the ideas and put them to a vote. Most votes win. If there is a tie we flip a coin and have our next 2 contest set out.

[Sneak]

I guess, but that seems a bit complicated. And it's hard to do a coin flip online, unless the person who flips the coin is trusted by everyone.

[Esk1mo]

Sadly this isn't a democracy.

I learned that the hard way ::)

This thread is strictly set up for ideas that the admin in charge can draw from.

At least that was what I was told :P

[sktarq]

I've heard that the next contest subject has already been picked. Will somebody say what it is?

[Everyman]

Yes, please do!

[Grey Watcher]

I apologize for the delay. I'm on vacation at the moment so I haven't been able to finish it up. I'm shooting for opening the contest on July 1st, so please, be patient with me. As for what it's going to be, I was going to wait until it opens formally to announce it, but I suppose it can't be called a head start if everyone knows about it. You're going to be designing a city. If you want the details as to the categories and criteria, well, you'll just have to wait until July 1. ;-)

[The Glyphstone]

ooh..gotta get started. Hmm.. maybe a city that worships a peaceful golem, and has a ruling council possessed by evil magic items...a sure shoo-in! ;D ;D

[Safria]

Ok I just know whatever I design at the moment is going to be affected by the fact that i've just saw batman begins and am having geekasms over the car.

[setenza]

Sweet, a valid excuse to grind out places to go to in my campaign. The PCs were wondering why the map outside of their home town said "Here there be sarpents".

[Zherog]

What's a sarpent? ???

[The Demented One]

Know exactly what I'll be doing. Huzzah!

[Frojoe21]

I'll be making full use of the tavern naming percentile charts in the DMGII, as soon as I get it that is.

[Randomman413]

OOOH! OOOH! A CONTEST ABOUT THE FUNNIEST/COOLEST/MOST (insert adjective here) ITEM! OH MY GOD A WIN GIVE ME A PRIZE!!!

[Everyman]

Um....has been done. Fairly recently too (2 months ago).

[Gorbash Kazdar]

Hey, folks, just to let you know - GW is finishing up the rules for the new contest, and will be posting it sometime later today. I think you guys will really enjoy it :)

[The Glyphstone]

he he he... :D

[setenza]

Why does that chuckle make me think you've already won before the game begins? <sigh> Some days it's not even worth getting out of bed...

[Wukei]

I think I might try this contest this month... I'm pretty good at coming up with stuff out of nowhere...

[Grey Watcher]

Just for an update, the contest should be up this evening (at least, by my clock). Either way, expect it within the next 12 hours (I apologize for running a little late, but I have plans with a friend today). The contest is mostly complete, I just need to refine a few points before I post it.

[Estrogen]

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but are there ever any photoshop contests, or anything of the like?

[Demias]

So... What do you have to do to win a contest then?

[Gorbash Kazdar]

We haven't, and probably won't, run any official image making contests, mainly because the board overall focusses on table-top RPG stuff, though there is some potential for a contest to make fantasy art, though generally its felt the design contests are a bit more inclusive than art contests.

In order to win a contest, people have to vote for your entry at the end of the contest. Most of the award categories are decided by secret votes (via PM to a dummy user name) at the end of the contest, though the staff award is chosen by the person running the contest.

[Wukei]

Ullii, go to the thread above contests in game design. There's a submit artwork thing there.

[Jibar]

If there's another magic items contest I'll enter, but are you alowd to enetr more than 1 thing per contest entry? Cos the other day I doodled up some magic items and came up with rules for them all, and if I entered 1 I'd have to enter them all,

[The Glyphstone]

The magic item contest's over, but if there's another one, the mods have said there's no reason you can't enter multiple submissions. And the last one was a magic item SET competition too.

[Jibar]

So when is the next compotition?

[Raskannu]

um, are we allowed giving Ideas for contests here?


Just cheking.

[Grey Watcher]

So when is the next compotition?

There's one going on right now, the Monumental City Contest. Check out the Sticy thread!

[Jibar]

That bit was kinda obvious, I meant when will the next one start, the next non-city one,
