The C3G Big Five Map Contest!
THE BIG 5 C3G CON MAP CONTEST
C3G Members and Fans, in celebration of C3G's 15th anniversary, we're running a contest and we would love for you to join in! The contest is to create a new C3G Competitive map in time for C3G Con 5 this July. The goal is to expand the library of C3G Competitive maps with brand new playing fields bursting with theme. We're hoping you can help by building and submitting some maps! Here are the rules: 1. Anyone on Heroscapers.com can enter 2. The map should use no more than four terrain sets, such as Rise of the Valkyrie, Road to the Forgotten Forest, etc. (these could be in any combination and with multiples of any set). Since I do not yet have it on hand, Source terrain and terrain from the AoA release is not eligible for this year's contest. 3. Each map should have a thematic name that references a named place from comic books and adheres to this year’s theme. This year’s theme is the “Big Five” of the DC Universe, meaning maps should represent a thematic location associated with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, or Flash, whether that’s the Daily Planet, Joker’s Funhouse, Arkham Asylum, Paradise Island, Coast City, Star Labs, etc., etc. If you’re unsure whether a location meets this thematic criteria, please reach out to me for verification. 4. Each map should specify any destructible objects, hazards, items, or resources it uses in its notes (see the map template here). Destructible objects can use C3G DO cards or just be generic DO’s of a designated Size. No Valhalla glyphs should be used. 5. Maps should specify any special rules. 6. The map should strive for competitive balance and include clearly marked 24 space start zones. 7. Map entries should include their names, a brief map bio, Virtualscape build instructions and a built version for TTS. If an interested contestant needs help putting either of these together, please don’t be discouraged, but reach out in this thread for help! 8. Any DOs, mats, etc. that are not included on VS should be proxied by other terrain (like shadow tiles as a proxy for outer space) or start zone dots, with an explanation of any proxying included in the entry. 9. The deadline for entries will be May 23rd. Any entrant can submit up to 5 maps for consideration. 10. Entries can be sent directly to me or can be posted in this thread. 11. Once the entry period closes, a voting thread will be created in this forum with all maps displayed here and there will be a one week voting period, with anyone who sees it welcome to vote. Ideally voters will keep thematic representation, effective use of terrain sets, and competitive balance in mind when voting for their favorite map. 12. The winner will be invited to run the map as an official C3G public design, using a free design slot. The winner of the contest will have the option to lead this design, with the group’s assistance, or may opt to have me lead it for them. As an additional sweetener, if you are a public member (i.e. someone without sanctum access) and you *enter* a map into the competition, I will give you a one time gift of 5 points towards a C3G LD from my horde of accumulated points. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The C3G Big Five Map Contest!
Any interest in this one or am I speaking into the void? I definitely intend to enter a few myself.

Re: The C3G Big Five Map Contest!
Very cool. Great set combo. Always like the idea of battlements as tombstones.
Not sure about legality but would consider placing a couple flat as if they were knocked over. |

Well they're Medium DOs, so if they get thrown and not destroyed, I imagine folks will place them on their sides.

Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. Last edited by japes; May 2nd, 2024 at 02:46 PM. |
