Citizens of Blackspire,
We are proud to announce one of our first of many Arts and Science competitions this reign. Today we are introducing a Quest Writing Competition for this reign in the theme of a Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Crawl. The idea here is for entrants to the competition to submit a quest write up in the style of a Dungeon Crawl for up to six players to progress through and have it written up like a D&D module.
Once we have all submissions, the judges will be reviewing and scoring them over the period of three weeks after the KLE and will be returned to you at the next available KLE (if possible).
Here is the relevant information regarding the competition. If you have any questions, please contact the Kingdom Monarch.
Submission Dates:
KLE @ Satyr’s Hollow October 17th, 2026 - no later than 2PM.
Review and Return Date – By November 7th, 2026
Theme: D&D Dungeon Crawl Module
Rules:
-
The ‘module’ shall be designed for a team of up to 6 questers to go through.
-
The design of the document should reflect the design of a Dungeons and Dragons module.
-
The quest should take at most 30 minutes for a team to progress through.
-
A physical copy and a .PDF version shall be submitted to the Kingdom Monarch or Kingdom Regent.
You will be judged by the following criteria:
-
Creativity of the Module – This would be things such as how the theme of the story is interwoven into the dungeon through potential monsters, traps, or puzzles. What ways the theme of D&D is interwoven into the overall design of the quest etc…
-
Story of the Dungeon/Module - This would be things such as what is the story you created for the dungeon, why the players are there, how the story is woven into the design of the quest overall.
-
Design of the ‘Dungeon’ – This would be things such as what the players need to achieve as a team to complete the dungeon, what are the ways players can fail the dungeon, how the dungeons activities are handled in conjunction with Amtgard rules, etc…
-
Presentation of the Module – This would be such things as how the document looks and is composed, how easy is to read, what is needed for setup instructions, etc.

The First-Place winner will receive a custom wooden Dungeon Master Screen with their name on it.
The Second-Place winner will receive a Dungeon Crawler Car “Jug O’ Boom” Dice Tower.
