Scenario Design Competition

KapCon is running its annual Scenario Design Competition again this year. This is basically a scam to get GMs to write their games early, but its also a way of encouraging friendly competition amongst GMs to see who can produce the coolest games. There are prizes, but more important there's the mana you get from producing a kick-arse game. Not that you have to enter the SDC to get this - but if you have a kick-arse game, why not enter?

To enter, you basically have to write up your game so that someone else could run it. As a condition of entry, you have to let someone else run your masterpiece next KapCon. Not that anyone necessarily will, but another point of the SDC is to generate a pile of high-quality scenarios and "old favourites" for last round, and to help pad the timetable if we need to. We may also want to put your scenario on the web, but we won't do this without your permission. One year we even put together a nifty, print-on-demand book, but its up to you whether you want to participate in any such project. Legally, you retain copyright, and we don't want to infringe that.

If you have any questions, emial kapcon@gmail.com, or post them in the comments.
