Mad Gaming Madness

Much like last year, I ended up with some additional materials after I was through with my submission. In this case, I made up a business card and the label to a Rescue Ball* package. I figured I'd post both the .docx files and the images so that GMs can use them with the adventure, or edit them with details specific to their campaigns.

So, this year I've decided to go sci-fi. It's not just that my home campaign is sci-fi and several others I'm involved in are sci-fi; it's that I think there's a distinct fantasy bias to the entries that limits the usefulness of the one page dungeons. Since the easiest way to diversify is to start with my own entry, that's what I'm going to do.

Well, this year's One Page Dungeon Contest snuck up on me again. I'd checked back in March, but I guess I was too early. Now I have only six days to get mine done. I had a number of ideas last year that I put down some preliminary notes for, but of course my current submission follows none of those ideas. I've decided to do a sci-fi themed encounter, mostly because none of the ones I've looked at in the current year's crop are sci-fi and I think that will make it stand out more. Of course, the whole point of last year's Wilderlands of Dire Omen submission was to have a framework in which to put other one page dungeons. I've not abandoned that concept, but I will push my current fantasy-themed effort to the back burner and try to finish it up for next year.
