Contest-Draft – Forgotten Adventures

FA Mapmaking Contest

January – 2021 >>

**Note: This contest is NOT sponsored or endorsed by ©Wizards of the Coast LLC., Paizo Inc.® , © CELSYS, Inc. or Megasploot**

Theme – None!

We’ve decide to have another “Free-for-All” month without a theme.

Your submission can be whatever you wish, as long
as it complies with the detailed rules below.

Originality and creativity goes a long way! ^_^

Detailed Rules:

- Submission has to be a Battlemap made with Forgotten Adventure’s assets, textures and resources, you can modify them however you like.

>You Can Download Our Assets Here<<

- You can use assets/textures etc from elsewhere (if you have rights to use them) or even draw your own! The majority of the map has to be created with Forgotten Adventures textures/assets.
  If the used Non-FA assets/textures don’t match the style/aesthetics and they make up large portion of the map it’ll be considered as a negative in the judging process.
  
  Example: Used Non-FA Textures covering 50%+ of your map with couple of our assets on top.
- Submission are limited to 1 IMAGE FILE per person.
  If your battlemap features a Building with multiple floors for example, please put them all into a single picture.
- If you notice a mistake in your map after submitting, you can fix it and re-submit your map with the same name!
- Your Battlemap may be any size or orientation of your choosing.
  But of course great looking map at around ~20x20sq will have a better chance at winning than super detailed 5×5 room or empty and bare 60×60 cave.
- Submissions that are deemed offensive or inappropriate in any way will be automatically disqualified.
- Maps submitted after the deadline will not be judged.
- All submitted maps (unless they are disqualified) will be shared on our website once the contest is concluded free to download.

Judging Process:

We will be focusing mainly on 2 Main factors when deciding the winners.

- - Aesthetics — The overall look and composition of your map
  - Game-play — How fun your map would be to play in
