Dungeon/Dragon Submissions This Window

[Pour]

So the latest submissions window closed last night, May 31st, and I was curious if anyone submitted 4e or 5e or system neutral or, heck, even 1e or 2e ideas (especially given a new 1e adventure with 4e conversions is being printed in next month's Dungeon as an add-on to the A series). Obviously, don't give specifics for the sake of your pitches.

I submitted one for Dragon and six for Dungeon, half of which are long shot Epic proposals. I just feel there actually is a demand out there for Epic content and thar the final tier deserves more adventure support. As of last year's submissions, I believe the notion was contrary to the designers' feelings, so I don't hold out much hope. Hey, at least I tried. There is a level 21-23 Epic adventure next month, though, involving a pharaoh's crawling pyramid which sounds pretty cool, so who knows.

Part of me feels you could have pitched anything and been given consideration.

I like how last submission window Chris Perkins got really specific about what the e-magazine staff were looking for. That makes it a bit easier for new talent to aim.

I pitched adventures for both 4E and D&D Next.

They're definitely showing better support for Epic at the moment. I wrote the Rolling Tomb in this month's issue, and there was the Graz'zt adventure a couple of months back.

Then I have you to thank, in part, for the Epic support. So thank you!

As an aside, wouldn't it be awesome if every month's Dungeon had a Heroic, Paragon, and Epic offering to cover the breadth of the edition at this juncture?

I pitched an adventure that I could write for whatever edition they want.

No response yet. Does anyone know when to expect to hear back?

The official time is 60 days or less. My experience is usually less.

The problem with that, I guess, is that it may lead to them pushing through lower-quality adventures just to hit the quota. Plus I'm guessing they get more way more Heroic tier submissions than Epic.

I pitched system neutral material.

I pitched a location and player options for Gamma World. Less than 12 hours later I got a cordial response noting that while they liked the idea they aren't looking for Gamma World material. I knew it was a really long shot but I'm glad I tried anyway!
