...Except in D&D, where the villains of our stories are often cruel, without remorse, and ruthless in their pursuits. They will stop at nothing to get their way, be it the destruction of the world or to enslave every free people. They seek to bring darkness to every corner, every mind, and every heart.
But at their core, villains are people too. They have dreams, loves, aspirations, goals, friends, enemies, lives even. They're characters that often have well-defined reasons for doing the things they do, even if it's as simple as an evil God or Goddess told them what to do. They also have statistics that match their flavor, skills and abilities that make them singularly unique.
The goal of the contest is to create a high-quality villain, one that is both compelling and mechanically sound that will be featured in the Public Character Repository when it is ready.
How It Works
Create your villain as a Myth-Weavers character sheet. Once the Character Sheet Repository is released and the submission period starts, publish your villain to the repository.
Schedule
July 26 - July 31: Submission Period
August 1 - August 7: Community Voting
August 8: Winner Announced
The Rules
The villain must be a new, original character that hasn't already been published anywhere. It can be adapted from a character you personally have already made, but it must still be your own original work.
The character must be created using any official roleplaying game system that has been published by a company. House rules and third-party sources are still not allowed.
The character can have any race, level, class(es), templates, and so on. It can also be a monster, such as a Dragon, kobold, or other such creature. Ultimately, the character must have a completed Myth Weavers character sheet.
The character must have a portrait, physical description, personality description, and backstory including why the character is a villain as well as their ultimate goals, their motivations, and so on. There is no minimum or maximum word count for these sections.
The contest will run from July 1st to July 31st. Entries will be voted upon by the community. Voting will occur during the first week of August and a winner will be declared on August 8th. The winners will be contacted within 24 hours of that date via Private Message on Myth Weavers.
Entries must abide by all Myth Weavers rules, especially the Intellectual Property and PG-13 rules of the site. Myth Weavers staff reserve the right to disqualify any entry that breaks any rule of Myth Weavers.
Near the end of the contest period, the Myth-Weavers Character Sheet Repository will be released and all entries must be published to it.
One submission per entrant.
The contest is open to all entrants in any country, not just US residents.
Prizes
Grand Prize (1st Place): Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Player's Handbook. Valued at $50, this book is the primary book required to play or run any 5th Edition game. A physical copy will be mailed to the 1st place winner, happily donated by yours truly.
Other Prizes are still to be determined, and we will update once we know what the remaining prizes will be.
