Hi all, just checking in to let you know that my life has gotten much busier these days. My one co-worker left two weeks ago for a new job and until he is replaced I am extremely busy at work and working overtime. In addition to that I am trying to squeeze in a lot of doctor appointments before the end of the year. I also have a lot of things going on outside of work. I have a lot of projects that I am working on and I have a lot of posts that I need to make and have not yet found the time for. However, I am pondering somethings that we could do for fun as a group and thinking about what I could contribute as a prize(s) for some type of contest. That is where all of you come in. Please post any ideas you might have for a contest or other something that we might do as fun and that I could issue a few small prizes for. In the next few days I will try to find a bit of time and list some possible prizes. Let us see how much creative thinking we can bring to creating something fun that can also be judged objectively (well at least not totally subjectively) and give everyone a fair shot at winning. EDIT: I added the poll with the two ideas that we have so far. Please submit one vote for the first three choices and one vote for the last two choices. Thank you!

How about short one page adventures?

Take your time, Admin Pete. Our secondary world engagements sometimes have to step aside for real life commitments and circumstances, no doubt about that. However, having some sort of contest or something like that sounds like a cool idea. Please have an Exalt!

How about short one page adventures? That is a good idea! Have an Exalt for being the first to suggest something. I hope to get a few more suggestions or you can affirm this one of course.

After I decide on the contest I will have to decide on how it will be judged and it just occurred to me that I need two volunteers to help me judge the contest.

I think a one page adventure (dungeon/wilderness) is a great and simple idea.
Our focus is on campaign worlds and settings. How about a 1 page SETTING contest! Now THAT would be a challenge!
I am willing to judge if I choose not to submit!

I am willing to judge if I choose not to submit! I was pretty much hooked from the beginning, but a one page setting contest? Never heard of that before but the idea is totally awesome! Count me in! I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow before I can Exalt you again, tetramorph!

I will give this a couple of days for more suggestions and then we will do a poll to pick the subject of the contest.

I voted for the "One page setting" as I thought that was an interesting challenge, and I have a few pretty cool ideas myself. But I'll keep an open mind if the rest of you guys decide to go for one of the other options!

I know the forums are a bit light because of the holidays, but I would like to see a few more votes. I am leaning towards a one page setting at this time. I will also try to get the potential prizes listed and that may help also.

Just bumping this thread, as I hope more board members will discover it and vote! (Personally, I think I'll have a go at the one page settings no matter how the contest turns out, since I think that was an interesting an awesome idea!)

So far there are only 2 votes and one in thread vote that is not in the poll. I would like to run this contest if I can get at least 10 votes of people who will participate.

Is this over? No not at all, please vote. I need more people to participate before we can start. I would like to have a lot of people vote and participate.

Both ideas are pretty awesome but I voted for the one page setting. One question: Does that mean just one side of a traditional page OR both sides of one page of paper? I plan on contributing in some form or fashion.

How about one side of the page for text and one side of the page for a map (if provided)? What do people think of that format?

I need three more people to participate!

That would make this a one SHEET setting, rather than a one PAGE setting, and I agree that would be best.

Three more participants and I will list the prizes and the details of the contest! Surely we have ten (10) intrepid souls that would create a setting for this.
