Calling All Dungeon Masters

Posted by michael on from the you-must-face-the-gazebo-alone dept.

Well, this is not really in Slashdot's main focus, but heck, it's a rare nerd who hasn't at least dabbled in D&D. Wizards of the Coast is looking to build a new campaign world, along the lines of Dragonlance or Forgotten Realms, and they're offering cash prizes. Their document (.doc file; Abiword reads it; try here if that link doesn't work) sums up the contest. Comments in this thread suggest they're looking for medieval fantasy settings. Show some writing flair and creative ability and take home enough cash to buy literally dozens of lead figurines AND a few new D30's... Update: 06/07 20:38 GMT by M : WOTC has the contest on their site now.

    In which many valiant warriors battle an army of trolls.

    Obviously it'll need to be expanded a little bit, but I think it can be turned into a setting easily enough.

    After reading the lawyerese on that form, I just like saying:

    "Do not breach a contract with Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to litigation."

    Weighs 16 pounds. I take it out sometimes and throw it at some wooden pins at the end of alley to see what number I get.

    >First of all, if Slashdot HAS a focus (main or otherwise) I'd just love to see someone take a stab at describing what it is.

    It might be easier to define what Slashdot is NOT focused on:

    1. Sports.
    2. Clothes (wearable computers excepted).
    3. Grooming and dating tips.

    Basically, Slashdot is the complement of GQ.
