The Inaugural Delving Deeper Adventure Writing Blitz is Here!
I need you guys to help me smash out some quality adventure material for Delving Deeper, and as encouragement (as if you needed any!) I'm offering up a bunch of prizes from my game shelf...
THE PRIZES
1. Pendragon King Arthur core RPG rules (Stafford), Pendragon The Great Campaign (Stafford). Arthaus editions. Both as new mint condition hard covers.
2. The Arduin Grimorire volume 1 (Hargrave), Arduin Dungeon #1 (Hargrave), Arduin Dungeon #3 (Hargrave), G1 Steading of the Hill Giant Chief (Gygax) mono, lizard logo, S1 Tomb of Horrors (Gygax) mono, wizard logo.
3. Tunnels & Trolls v7.5 (Flying Buffalo) brand new in box (and the box is so full of T&T stuff you can't close the lid).
4. Swords & Wizardry White Box Set (by our very own Fin!)
5. Dungeons & Dragons Basic and Expert boxed sets. The basic set's box is a bit rough but the contents in mint condition. The expert set is still in its original shrink wrap!
6. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons; Players Handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide, Monster Manual (Gygax) early print hardbacks in very good condition.
7. Holmes boxed set -- exactly which one to-be-announced (I have a spare F115-R box for which I can't seem to locate the contents..?)
8. Original Dungeons & Dragons Supplements I, II, III, IV and a rubbishy copy of Boothill (2nd print?).
9. Original Dungeons & Dragons volumes 1, 2 and 3 (6th print, no box, no ref sheets).
10. Original Collectors Edition Dungeons & Dragons White Boxed Set.
Complete with volumes 1, 2 and 3 and Reference Sheets in white box. All in good order.
HOW IT WILL WORK
If I get at least ten entries, there will be one winner.
If there are at least twenty entries, there will be two winners.
If there are at least thirty entries, there will be three winners.
If there are more entries I will give away further prizes as necessary.
The first placed winner will get the first pick of the prizes.
The second placed winner will get the second pick of the prizes.
And so on.
I will be the sole judge of the winning entry/entries.
Prizes will be given in good faith at my sole discretion.
Winners will have to provide me with a postal address in order to receive their prizes.
YOUR ENTRY
What's the Deadline?
At this stage, entries will close on June 30th 2013.
Subject to the number of entries and real life commitments, I hope to read them all and pick the winners by mid July.
Where Do I Sent It?
To me via email at: waysoftheearth at yahoo dot com dot au .
You should include "Delving Deeper" in the subject line.
I will email you back to confirm I have received your entry. If I don't, post a comment in this thread right here!
File Format:
PDF or any file format that can be read by Open Office on my Windows7 PC is acceptable.
Document Size:
I'm looking for short but rich adventure content for Delving Deeper.
Those who've read or participated in the One Page Dungeon Contests will alreay have a feel for it.
This contest is specifically for the Delving Deeper system, however, and is for slightly longer scenarios; anything around two to four letter (or A4) -sized pages of content is acceptable. Illustrations, maps, charts and so on (where necessary) can be included in or in addition to the text content.
Document Format:
Use any kind of layout/document structure you desire, put please consider my eyes when choosing a font style and its size.
Clear titles and section headings will be looked on favourably. You may (or may not) want to include some/none/all of the following sections:
1. Title,
2. Sub-Title/Catch Phrase -- One line summary of what to expect,
3. Adventure Hook(s) -- what brings the players here?
4. Map (or maps) of encounter areas,
5. Explanation of Encounter Areas -- the meat of your submission,
6. Random Encounter/Monster Table (or tables),
7. Developments -- suggestions for what happens next,
8. New monsters/spells/magic-items.
9. Other stuff?
If your spelling and grammar is perfect I'll enjoy reading your document much more than if it's riddled with errors...

THE OTHER PRIZE
Is infamy ;D I plan to make all entries available for free download for all DD players.
If there are some unbearably good entries I'll also offer to collaborate with the authors to create "production" versions of their adventures as "Official" Delving Deeper supplements under the Immersive Ink label.
So... what are you guys waiting for?
