World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

[Hussar]

The World's Largest Dungeon needs the world's largest adventuring group! Picture it - group after adventuring group each challenging the WLD at the same time, possibly interacting with each other, competing and co-operating, all seeking the same goal: ESCAPE!

The idea is simple. Groups will run over OpenRPG sharing forums on Shadows of the Dragon. Dungeon Masters will have a dedicated forum which is only available and accessable to DM's. Each DM will also have a forum to run a game. A final forum is also available for DM's and players to share ideas, stories and comments and as a place for potential players and DM's to meet.

To be completely honest, right now the call is more for DM's. Players are usually fairly easy to come by, but DM's are more of a rare breed. My goal is to have five DM's plus myself up and running by the end of the summer. More is better of course, but this is my personal goal.

If you are interested, either PM me at Shadows of the Dragon or email me at WLDDMHussar at Hotmail dot com. Check out the site and introduce yourself. We will be adding to it constantly, and there should be lots to see.

May your torches never go out.

I've just started running WLD for may group on Fantasy Grounds, and I wanted to thank everyone for sharing your ideas in this thread and elsewhere.

BlueBlackRed, your blog has been fun. I'll have to go back and reread portions when my group gets to each Region.

The players' versions of the maps have been great. I had to edit each into fourths to actually use them on screen while playing in FG, but then using the fog feature I can reveal the map as the players progress.

I started a thread in the Rules forum about food and water rationing, and whether I should make it an issue in the WLD. Got some great responses.

Thanks & you're welcome.

Try to avoid the burn out.
We're starting a new region tonight, and that usually gets rid of the burnout feeling I get.

AEG did not submit the WLD for consideration. In order for a product to be considered, a publisher had to submit it (and provide a copy) to the judges.

AEG did not submit any products this year according to the ENnies thread.

I was surprised myself, but that is what Dextra indicated in post #72 of ENNies Nominations thread (stickied in General Discussion).

well if they did not submit then it's there choice, but Its too bad, I wish the ennies were less about publisher and more about the artists behind the products

Don't get me started on the ENnies...

However, the only RPG awards that I know of which are completely open are the pen-and-paper awards. (http://www.pen-paper.net/awards.php)

As you'll see from that link, though, the 2005 awards have not yet been posted.

I'm curious to hear if failing to submit WLD to the ENnies was just an oversight, or a conscious decision not to enter. Either way, it is too bad. WLD had a good shot at a few categories, including adventure and writing.

If I understand correctly, Jim Pinto is no longer with AEG, and from the looks of his post he was not aware that WLD had not been submitted.
