There are roughly five days remaining to get your submission in for the Gauntlet Con writing contest! The deadline is 10.16.17 at 11:59 PM EDT. The number of submissions we have received so far is pretty small, which means this contest is wide open. Check out the prizes:

One winner receives:

-$100 cash prize

-Gets their submission published in Codex (with original art and layout)

-Gets featured on one of our podcasts.

Up to two runners-up each receive:

-$50 cash prize

One thing that goes unspoken, but is probably worth mentioning now: we use these writing contests to populate Codex as a general matter. There is a strong chance that if we like your submission but it doesn’t win, we may pay you for the right to publish it in Codex anyway.

And it’s just a great way of getting your stuff noticed. The Codex team is reading through these super carefully, and the panel of judges is awesome. And speaking of judges…

I am SO EXCITED to announce the final judge for the contest: Sarah Richardson! Sarah is the author of Velvet Glove and co-author of Bluebeard’s Bride. She has also done a lot of work in the OSR space (Pro tip: if you want your entry to impress her, might I suggest you make it either horrifying or gross af).

Get those entries in! And please re-share this post!

  1. guys i’m trying to get in, but I don’t know how to apply and get my Super-Title to start with. I can see the list, but If it’s that, all the names are taken, am I right?

  3. ramonthe3rd You can just choose whatever Keeper title from the list that inspires you. The titles are given to our Patreon backers, and the contest is meant to be just a fun way of doing something with those evocative names. Other than that, just click on submission guidelines for either Dungeon World starter or OSR scenario (whichever you want to do). It’s about halfway down the linked page. You’ll find all the info you need there.
