Greetings Adventurers!
Embark on a journey through the realms of imagination with the 2023 One Page Dungeon Contest Compendium. This year, our theme, "And Still They Rise," ignited the creativity of adventurers young and seasoned alike, resulting in 112 entries that vividly echo resilience, triumph, undying spirits, and plenty of fresh bread. From the depths of vertical dungeons challenging the very concept of mortality to whimsical adventures penned by our youth, each entry is a testament to the boundless ingenuity of our community.
As our esteemed judges—Jim, Chad, and Martin—meticulously sifted through this treasure trove of creativity, they discovered tales that stood out for their exceptional storytelling and inventive gameplay. Justin Evans' "Yay! We won! So now what?" emerged as the Winner, guiding players through the aftermath of a Dracolich battle in a flooded cavern. Meanwhile, Daniel James' "Fall, Rise, Repeat" claimed the Theme Winner title, presenting a one-page, vertical dungeon where players navigate the depths, rising again to face life's challenges.
Join us in celebrating these and other remarkable entries that showcase the enduring spirit of adventurers as they rise against the odds.
The compendium is available via DriveThruRPG (PWYW) and Gumroad (PWYW w/min). Any funds raised help to run future contests and fill the prize pool.
Onward, to new realms!
-Todd
Our contest is open to anyone, anywhere, and submissions are completely free. The results from 2023 are in! The 2024 contest will run again in July. Stay tuned!
