I've been kicking around an idea for a challenge that incorporates both Adventure and Fortress modes. Basically, several players create dungeons in the same world, specify a specific artifact and goal location that the adventurers must find and reach, and put all of those dungeons in the same world. Adventurers then enter the world with the goal of conquering every dungeon and collecting every specified artifact.
It would be nice if several people were able to work on fortresses at the same time, but I don't think this is possible (if anybody knows otherwise, please say so!) So we'll have to impose a time limit on each fortress before it must be abandoned (preferably during a siege to load it with enemies) and the next player begins their fortress.
Rules for Fortress mode players:
-Build your fortress with dungeon design in mind. Lever-based puzzles and mazes are encouraged. Also encouraged are complicated traps to avoid, such as rooms slowly filling with water.
-I'd like to see pressure-plate based traps and puzzles, so we'll play with adventurer traps on. As such, remove all other traps from your fortress before abandoning!
-Make sure it's possible to reach the designated goal!
-Because items become scattered, it might not be possible to restrain an item to a specific room. Therefore, designate a specific construction that the player must take a screenshot of to prove they reached it. The goal might be a statue in a peculiar room, or an altar to Armok. Does anyone know if an item sealed in a room will remain in that room in Adventure mode?
-Please abandon your fortress during a siege. The dungeon will be much more interesting with monsters inside it!
-You will have five years to complete your fortress, after which you must find a suitable time to abandon so that the world can be passed off to the next player, who will create a brand new fortress elsewhere in the world.
-Post the location of your fortress. While it would actually be more fun to only provide the region name and make players search for it, nothing is preventing them from simply entering Reclaim mode and seeing where the dungeon is, so you might as well just show it up front.
-Every fortress submission will be reviewed by a judge (or judges) before being accepted and play resumes to the next player. As OP, I will be the first judge - depending on number of interested players, I may ask for up to two more. Keep save backups, because if we find a problem we might ask you to take another season or two to fix things up. Unless you've blatantly broken the above rules, don't expect your fortress to be outright rejected.
-Limit of eight dungeon designers, and I'm claiming one. So, that leaves seven available spots. A waiting list will be available in case somebody misses their turn.
Adventure mode rules:
-Victory is achieved under the following two conditions:
--You post screenshots of your character in the designated goal room of every dungeon Fortress
--You post a screenshot of your character surrounded by every designated goal item. Post screenshots of their description, too.
-Fast travel is allowed.
-Finding all of the items with the same character is not technically a requirement. You could theoretically find some of the items, get killed, then retrieve the items from your old character's body. You do not have to retake screenshots of you standing next to each landmark with the new character (but you're more of a badass if you do it all with one character).
-Bonus points if you do it as an elf!
-No limit to the number of adventurers. Anybody can download the world and play in it!
The subject line is "Discussion" because the actual game won't be run here; this is merely discussion for the setup. If you feel rules need to be added, removed, or amended, please make suggestions. If you want to play with certain mods, that's something to vote on, though my vote is for vanilla. At this time I don't have a world in mind, so this is something that we need proposals for as well.
Items in need of discussion:
-Who's interested in dungeon design?
-Any modifications needed to either set of rules?
-Any world proposals?
-Are mods desired?
