Part of the process was for each judge to nominate 20 entries and a "category" for each one. Below are my twenty.
Just to be clear. These aren't the final winners. These are just the twenty entries I picked during the first round of judging. Other judges picked there own set of twenty. And it was hard to narrow down to only twenty. There were 35 in my "these are awesome" pile after my first read through of the ~60 entries.
BTW Here are all the 2010 One Page Dungeon Contest Entries.

ReplyDeleteWow! Glad you liked Heart of Darkness enough to nominate it. There sure are a lot of great entries and I'm glad I don't have to pick.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nod to my Bone Harvest Horror. I've done a lot of maps but that one broke new ground for me in a lot of ways. Good luck everyone.
