HearthPwn's Adventure Creation Competition Begins!

HearthPwn's Adventure Creation Competition Begins!

I can't see a better time to design your own adventure than during the release period of a brand new official Hearthstone adventure! I'm passing off the mic to Asylum_Rhapsody who will be explaining what exactly is going on with this new competition and how you can enter.

Current Phase: Phase I - The Concept


Welcome Fellow Card Creators

To Hearthpwn's first ever Adventure Creation Competition! Here, you'll be tasked with creating your very own adventure, complete with it's own story, bosses, and cards (both collectible and otherwise). Just like our Class Creation Competitions, this competition will be split into 5 Phases, with contestants getting knocked out after each Phase until one Adventure finally reigns supreme, its creator becoming our first Grand Adventurer.


Overview

Unlike our Weekly Card Design Competitions, this Adventure Creation Competition will be conducted over multiple Phases, each of which will have their own unique processes and submission requirements. Each Phase will conclude with our eliminating at least half of the competitors until only three or four finalists remain for Phase V.

  • Phase I Submission and Early Voting (Starts Now! Ends 17:00 UTC 15/August/2016)
    During this Phase, the Submission Topic is made available for your submissions. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like!

  • Phase I Up-Voting (Starts 17:00 UTC 15/August/2016, Ends 17:00 UTC 17/August/2016)
    During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be locked, so no more entries may be submitted. Instead, use this time to browse the submissions and up-vote your favorites!

Phase I - The Concept

In this phase, all we're looking for is for you to pitch your adventure. Tell us what it's about! Each submission is expected to have three (3) things: 

  • A Summary of the Entire Adventure - Probably the most important category, we want to know what the whole adventure is about! Why are you doing this? What kind of challenges will you meet? What will help you along the way? Get us excited for your adventure to continue! You don't have to spill all of the beans on any plot twists, but we do want to know what the story is behind your Adventure. Please keep this to one, reasonably-sized paragraph.
  • The Big Bad Boss - You know, the enemy who you fight at the end. Your submission must include a Hero Portrait,Hero Power, and at least a brief description of that fight (what kind of cards they use, any additional phases of the game). This needn't necessarily be the actual last boss encounter of your Adventure, but this should be your most prominent villainous figure, the main one driving the Adventure's story. If your Adventure involves battling this entity more than once, you should only include one of the boss battles here and save the rest for later phases. Full deck lists, emotes, heroic mode differences, and so on are not required (they will not be required of any boss encounter for this competition), but they're definitely not discouraged either; still, everything beyond the main Hero Portrait, Power, and brief description should be relegated to a spoiler.
  • Three (3) Example Cards of the Set - Obviously, adventures bring a number of new collectible cards into the game, and we want to see them! Specifically, one (1) legendary, and two (2) cards of other rarity. Try to make these cards representative of the general mechanical themes of your adventure as a whole. If these cards include a new mechanic, like how League of Explorers introduced Discover, tell us about it. Token cards, additional cards generated by your example cards, should be relegated to a spoiler.

Enter Now!
