Greetings ladies and gentlemen!
I would like to invite you all to take part in this new contest that I came up with.
It is by no means an original idea since it's heavily based on Kaiphranos' Alphabetic Bouts in Cartography. Similarly to that great contest in this one the participants will also have one week to to create maps based on a simple theme (one or two words) and a random color.
The main difference however will concern the method by which the topic is chosen. As the name suggest the topics will not go in alphabetic order. Instead they will be pick by RNG from a list of one hundred topics that I've already prepared. Similarly the hex codes for colors will be chosen randomly (however I may re-roll if the generator comes up with something hideous). Obviously the most tragic departure from the ABC's format would be the lack of meaningful abbreviation.
I'll not take part in the contest since: 1) I may have an advantage considering that I came up with the topics (dubious if you consider my limited skills) and 2) I want to follow the precedent established by Kaiphranos.
If any of you have comments and/or suggestions please post them below.
The topic for the first round will be posted later today.
List of Winners:
1st Round: Zek Sora
2nd Round: n/a
