Dungeon Bash Rules

Dungeon Bash 2018 is the inaugural one-page dungeon competition held by the Curious Chimeras!

 

Format of Competition

  • Dungeon Bash 2018 is a fast-paced competition where participant teams design a One Page Dungeon (OPD) in the space of 4 hours.
  • All participants sit in the same physical space to design their dungeon according to themes presented by Dungeon Bash. Your team must be physically present for Dungeon Bash 2018.
  • Sign up for the competition! There is a registration fee of S$12/team, which goes back into the DB fund.
  • Challenges will be issued at points in the design time – teams have to incorporate these theme challenges creatively into their OPD.
  • Participants may bring laptops and any reference material they like to the table, including game and art books. HOWEVER, all materials brought by any one participant must fit into one backpack OR one laptop bag + one tote bag. I.E. each team member may bring one backpack worth of reference materials.
  • After the competition, the OPDs will be compiled and sent to a Jury who will pick their favourites.
  • Participants and members of the public will also have the opportunity to vote for their favourite maps!
  • Awards will be distributed after a deliberation period.
