Enter your submissions right here!

Description

Members of the Dice Populi community each submit concepts and components for a D&D dungeon over a two month period. Afterwards, selected components will be assembled into a single, playable PDF available for free on DIcePopuli.com.

The final PDF will be free to download for everybody. All submitters will be credited in the document with their preferred names and identifiers (those that do not wish to be publicly credited will be respected).

You can click on the submission link above, or keep reading for more details!

Guidelines

Please follow these guidelines when submitting content:

  • Complete all required fields on the submission form

  • Follow the requirements outlined in Submission Components below

  • Creatures or Loot Items must include D&D 5e compatible stat blocks

    • Existing D&D 5e stat blocks may be included by simply listing the item

    • Custom stat blocks must be completed and attached to the submission

  • No content that disparages or discriminates against personal identifiers such as race, gender, ability, etc. will be accepted

The Dice Populi crew reserves the right to exclude submissions on any grounds, including repeated content, offensive material, insufficient detail or incompatibility. The Crew will not reach out to inform submitters that their content will be excluded during the season, so be sure it meets the guidelines!

Submission Components

The submission form accommodates up to four components for a submission: Rooms, Encounters, Creatures and Rewards. 

Rooms — All submissions must include a room. Rooms are single spaces with clear boundaries and at least one entrance / exit. Descriptions should detail a Room’s size, shape and contents.

Encounters — A challenge for players to overcome. Encounters may take the form of Combat, Puzzles or Obstacles. Whatever the Encounter, you must include a clear and specific “win condition” that marks the end of the encounter, and you must include Rewards (see below).

Creatures — An optional component for any Room or Encounter, creatures are any Non-Player Characters or monsters. If the creature exists in D&D source materials, list them in the form. NPCs or custom creature submissions must include a complete stat block and all information the DM will need.

Rewards — A required component for all encounters, Rewards may be either Access, Information or Loot Items. Access rewards include keys, unlocked doors and secret passages. Information is any secret that will help players complete the dungeon. Custom Loot Items require complete item blocks.

The Final Product

At the end of the submission period, the Dice Populi crew will begin assembling the final product for release on June 29th, 2022. The Crew may solicit suggestions for dungeon descriptions, aesthetics, flavor and story — all while respecting the varied nature of the submissions.

We may even run the dungeon ourselves as a bonus episode — we’d love to compare notes with the community and see how it plays!

Either way, thank you for being part of such a weird and cool idea. We’ll see you after the BBEG.

Thanks,

The Dice People
