THE CHALLENGE?
Construct a compelling, worldbuilding-rich roleplay premise.
THE PRIZE?
Win your own subforum for your roleplay.
The WaRP: Worldbuilding and Role Playing GM Challenge is both a competition and an exciting opportunity for the Iwaku player base, which we hope will encourage GMs to step up and create brilliant content for the site. There will be up to four winners selected by a panel of judges (myself, @Diana, @Kitti, @Jorick, and @Pahn) at the end of the judging period.
This contest was held once before, at the end of 2016, so this is its second year! Things went well enough with the previous contest and entries that the contest is being opened for a second time. Hopefully it will continue so that this becomes a recurring possibility and run again at the end of 2018!
The number of winning spots for this contest depend on the number of winning RPs from the previous contest still active, but the goal is to always add at least two open slots. That means that more than two may be opened if previous winners have become inactive.
We are looking for a premise/roleplay that provides:
- An expansive network of locations for players to interact with and explore.
- A wide range of possibilities for character creation, whether through race, cultural background, creed, or class system.
- A plot premise with staying power which cannot be wrapped up within a short time frame, a sandbox-style world where players can drive their own plots, and/or opportunities for multiple long-term plot arcs.
- Compelling world lore and evidence of real thought and care in creation of the setting.
- A special hype factor that makes us want to join.
For more information on the rules and how to submit your entries, please view the threads in the special WaRP forum!
