This year the text of the writing competition is this:
Quote:Dave Arneson's Day is the first of October, and it is the date when this campaign started, a few years ago. Its purpose was, and still is, to (humbly) remember Dave Arneson and his legacy.
For this reason, for the third year on the run, I'm proposing a small writing competition for the players participating to this campaign. Of course, the end date will be the first of October 2023 (let's make it 12:00 mid day, GMT, just to be spot on).
The winner of this small competition will receive 200 XPs to divide as desired between their characters (of course, if the player controls a single character, that character will receive the 200 XPs, if the player controls more than one character, then the XPs can be divided as desired). The runner up will receive 100 XPs and the third will receive 50 XPs. All other participants will receive 5 XPs.
In your submission you will write a fantasy story set in a classic Blackmoor location or trope, with your character as protagonist. It is important for this competition that the story incorporates a strong Blackmoorian feeling.
The story has to be written as a post private to the GM in reply to this thread and it can be as long or short as desired (as long as it is accepted by RPoL), but has to be a single post for each player (player, not character). The post can be modified as many times and desired. After the submission deadline of the first of October 2021 @ 12:00 mid day GMT, all posts will be made visible to everybody and the winners will be proclaimed.
