I'm trying to feel out if there's any interest in a Dungeon-building competition. There would be a few rules(How to tag NPCs, a limit to areas and tiles, etc). A prize(Some kind of item, perhaps a sizable XP cookie) would go to the winner's character. Most every dungeon submitted would end up in the modules, though some will undoubtedly require editing.

Please post below if you like the idea. I'll probably put this together if there's enough interest.

Maybe I have interest depending on what the rules are and what the time frame is

i'd be interested but thier are far better builders than me around. so i know my chances would be slim ..but i'd do it anyway just to keep what little skills i have sharp

I can put a dungeon in the module whenever I want and IC rewards for OOC actions make me very uncomfortable, so, no.

Not everyone can be a builder, or on the Team, so I say go for it. Rewards and all.

I like the idea of a dungeon making competition, because it does give a chance for folks who aren't on the team already to offer something area-wise--but instead of having every dungeon added to the module, maybe make the prize having the winning dungeon(s, if there are 1st/2nd/3rd place winners) entered. That way the rewards remain OOC, and it encourages people to really put in some effort to see their work actually put in Arkaz.

If a DM ever ran a one-shot/plot related to the dungeon, there could be some loots specifically for the creator's character if folks think IC rewards are necessary, and that way at least they're given ICly.

All that said, I'd like to participate, but it'd definitely depend on the timeframe.

Would we be limited to the current Arkaz haks?

Yup, it'd have to be Arkaz compatible with the standard hak list.

Perhaps you could provide a mod to download that had al lthe appropriate goodies on it?

If I had time to get to know this stuff I would, but I have no idea what I am doing yet
