Yes. DMing is open to all comers who feel capable.
Can anyone propose an adventure and become a L4W DM?
which, by the way, are pretty much the same with the guidelines used in Living Eberron (except the different email address and setting).Yes they can! Just email a summary of your proposed adventure to the judges at l4w.judges@gmail.com.
Things that I look for in adventure submissions include:
- level of challenge is roughly appropriate for the suggested level range. This means I want to see at least some thought given to the encounters. "A party level +2 encounter" might be acceptable as a bare minimum, but I'd much prefer to see actual XP budgets or monster lists.
- plot should make some kind of sense. DM should show that they're aware that the PCs may make unanticipated choices, and have given some thought to what happens if the PCs do not cooperate with NPCs, fail skill challenges, etc.
- setting elements introduced are not too terribly inconsistent with established canon. The transitive isles were built with a fair amount of flexibility, but we'd like to avoid outright contradictions as much as possible.
- planned treasure is vaguely appropriate -- e.g. DM is aware of doubled encounter XP and adjusts treasure accordingly. I'm pretty lenient on treasure plans.
- Bottom line: if I had to take over this game and run it, would the submission give me enough information to do a decent job of it.
Oh, and one more thing: the judges are happy to work with you on adventure submissions. If you've got it mostly figured out but get stuck on the details, feel free to submit anyway. We'll happily bombard you with ideas and suggestions. Heck, we'll probably do it anyway.
In any case. Thanks Cov and THB for your input. I really think I'm giving my PCs a run for their money.
Strictly speaking you're drawn with industrygothica and LightRailCoyote, but they don't seem to be active.Also, I appear to have the longest username in L4W. Go me?
