What is the Gridiron DM Competition?
The Gridiron Competition is designed to test your metal as a DM. You will have a limited timeframe to create an original one-shot for players, using secret “ingredients” that you will be given at the start of the event.
- You can interpret these ingredients and utilize them in your one-shot however you wish.
- You will be rated by your players using several criteria.
- You must provide the judges with a one page summary of your scenario and a map at the end of the Gridiron DM competition. (You can take a picture of the map or just show it to the judge after the one-shot is concluded)
- You may use any official WotC rulebooks and source materials. You may not use any third party source materials. You may create your own monsters, magic items, etc. provided you detail them in your written summary and they are approved before the start of the one-shot by the judge.
- You are free to use game play accessories such as miniatures, maps, initiative trackers, etc. These do not need to be official WotC products. To accommodate players at the table with adequate room for play, you’re restricted from using three-dimensional terrain, such as Dwarven Forge, HexTech, or any large foam, plastic or resin terrain modules.
Players will be given pre-generated level 3 characters to use.
Entry fee for DMs is $10. Players are free.
1st and 2nd place DMs will receive store credit.
Top 2 DMs will go to semifinals in July.
