Start your engines, ladies and gentlemen!

Our competition is now live. We're looking for one scenario, not smaller than 5000 words. We want it by Sunday night, 8pm. When you've got something, mail it to . We'll start judging after that.

So that you can't have started already, we're giving you a genre for your scenario, and some concepts we'd like you to include (whether or not they're major story elements is up to you, but you should make some logical reference.) Your genre is HORROR and your concepts for inclusion are SPOOK,CROSSROADS and UNDERDOG.

The very best of luck to you all - I'm really looking forward to reading what you send us!

Reminder: IrishGaming.Com Scenario Writing Competition
Written by Noirin Curran   
Jul 02, 2009 at 08:44 AM

We've just decided to put up an early update as a reminder that the IrishGaming.Com Scenario Writing Competition will take place this weekend. The requirements will go live tomorrow - Friday 3rd of July at 8pm - and the deadline for submissions is Sunday 5th of July at 8pm.


The Goal

The goal is to send us one RPG scenario – a minimum of 5000 words. The genre of the scenario and three ideas that must be included in the scenario will be supplied by IrishGaming.Com at the start of the competition – the writer may choose the exact game system.

The scenario must be written over the weekend and submitted by the deadline of 8pm, Sunday 5th of July.


The Prize

A €50 voucher and a trophy to be handed to the winner, the trophy to be handed back after one year to IrishGaming.Com. The IrishGaming.Com Friday update for one week to be dedicated to the winning entry, ideally with a photo of the winner to be displayed (but we understand that not everyone is photogenic, and not everyone wants to have their picture taken!)


Rules

* The winner will be chosen by an independent judge (noted industry professional Gar Hanrahan) rather than by IrishGaming.Com – the judge’s decision will be final and binding.

* Scenarios will be graded based on playability, originality, and readability.

* The scenario must be a new one – not one that has ever been run at a games convention in Ireland.

* The competition is open only to Irish writers (by which we mean writers who live in Ireland.)

* The competition is closed to Nick Huggins, Noirin Curran and our independent judge.

* All scenarios submitted for the competition will be made available for public download on IrishGaming.Com – copyright for these scenarios will remain with the original author.

Check back tomorrow from 8pm for the scenario requirements!

This Week's Update - 26/06/09

Afternoon all! So I'm holding the fort here while all the cool kids have gone off to Q-Con in Belfast (check our links section to see what you're missing!)

It's article week here at IrishGaming Towers, and we have myself and the inimitable Brian Nisbet writing what are our current bi-weekly columns. Today, in "Natural 20's Random Thought Table" Brian talks about things you can do if your gaming group has faltered for the evening. Meanwhile, in "LARP Experiments" I'm talking about inserting a gimmick into your game.

Back with scenarios next week! Happy Gaming!
