What Topia? Dystopia.

Get those Nukacola Caps ready!

Prompt 1:

Write a short story or play that takes place in a dystopian or post-apocalyptic setting. Build the world and feel free to submit multiple documents. I suggest that you create separate documents for world building and narrative.

• 600+ Words

• Post-Apocalyptic or Dystopian Setting

• Clear narrative with worldbuilding elements supporting character (not just a list of things that occur in the world)

Prompt 2:

Create a board game (or similar) set in a post-apocalyptic or dystopian setting. The board game must have:

• A clearly described goal (“win conditions”)

• A rule book clearly stating the turns, phases, rules, etc.

• Concept board, art, cards, etc. Everything needed to test the prototype of the game

• Must be tested and balanced extensively

It is highly recommended that you do outside research on how to create a board game. In other words, Google “How to make a board game.”

Prompt 3:

Create a D&D style campaign to be played with a group of 2-5 people (not including dungeon master). You are allowed to do this as a group of up to 6 people, but character sheets, scenarios, and all other associated material must be submitted. In short: more people, higher expectation of work submitted.

• Clear campaign narrative with a starting point, branching variations of the story, and a conclusion

• Character sheets for characters involved

• Modifications to traditional D&D rules and setting (as needed)

• Items, NPC, hostiles, friendlies, etc. lists

• Story magnitude and associated materials in proportion to group size
