The One Page Dungeon Contest is a yearly competition where aspiring game designers create a role-playing-game dungeon within the space of an 8.5×11 sheet of paper. Dozens of participants compete with one goal in mind: to create the ultimate single page adventure. After having competed for a number of years, we’ve decided to offer our 4 previous entries for free on the Mammoth Island Itch.io page...
One Page Dungeon Contest 2019
The One Page Dungeon Contest returns once again! As we are wont to do, my brother and I crafted an entry for the competition – our fourth submission in the last six years! We decided to keep things a little looser this time around, incorporating gnomes, squid, and pseudo-science into our adventure. Following a total system failure, Captain Huxley recruits a team of adventurers to salvage...
One Page Dungeon Contest 2017: Winner
Earlier in April, I mentioned that Matt and I had entered the perennially entertaining One Page Dungeon Contest, where amateur game designers compete to create the ultimate single page role-playing adventure. After two weeks of judging, we’re happy to announce that we are one of the contest’s winners. The awards have arbitrary, made-up names, so I’m not quite sure what the...

The 2017 One Page Dungeon Contest is once again upon us! Matt and I have created an entry for the now venerable contest: our third submission in the last four years.

Behold, Of No Small Power! You can view a...

After a month-long judging process, the results are finally in! Matt and I managed to sneak into the 3rd place category with our entry, Vesna’s Refuge. In celebration of this win, I am...
One Page Dungeon Contest 2014: Galiron’s Gauntlet
The 2014 iteration of the One Page Dungeon contest has now closed! The judges will pour over the entries over the coming weeks, before selecting winners for multiple (and somewhat arbitrary) categories. There were a lot of great entries this year, all of which can be seen on this year’s contest page. RS and finally took the plunge this year and submitted a dungeon entitled Galiron’s...
One Page Dungeon Contest 2014
I’m always interested in amateur game design competitions, and the One Page Dungeon Contest is one of my favourites. Submissions are now open for the 2014 iteration of the event so I thought I’d give it a mention on the ol’ blog. What’s it all about? Participants create a complete role-playing-game dungeon within the space of a single sheet of 8.5×11 paper. The...
