    Player Story Arc Contest

    Think you're pretty creative, do ya? Prove it!

    Sundren will be running a story arc contest. Players can write up their own story outlines, complete with new or existing NPCs, lore, and details. Estimate that your story should take between 2 - 4 weeks of real life time from start to finish.

    Submit your story arcs to Phantom Lamb no later than August 31st. We will announce a winner in September. The winning story will be run by the DMs, and the author will have a special part in it! (NOTE--the author will need to make a new character for this. They can't build their story around a character they currently play. The character they play in the story will be determined by the DM team)


    What makes a winning story? Well, creativity, fun, conflict,... you name it! But there are some suggestions I'd encourage from folks:
    • Be brief and organized.
      Prose has its place, but a story arc should be presented in an easy-to-read outline format.
    • Avoid railroading. Try to find ways for multiple outcomes to occur. Let the players drive how the story ends.
    • Sundren is faction-oriented. Try to incorporate Sundren's existing factions into your stories somehow.
    • Be creative, but not grandiose. If your story is too extraordinary, we would probably not choose it.
    Feel free to send a PM with questions. Thanks--

    this sounds awesome! I'm pretty excited to start writing.

    After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.

          The contest is over! Thanks for the folks who submitted entries. We did receive quite a few entries. Very creative stuff and fun to read

          We will not announce the winner publicly, but we will decide on a winning plot by the end of the week. We are hiding the winner's name to avoid people pestering them about the story line.

          Stay tuned for the next contest...
