 "History of the One Page Dungeon"
By Random Wizard

Way back in the blog scene of 2008, there was quite a bit of discussion about what is the
best way to present a dungeon. Old adventure modules from the 70s were examined for
inspiration and then new ideas were introduced to attempt to convey as much information
about a dungeon as quickly as possible without overwhelming the reader. Out of the dis-
cussion, the "One Page Dungeon" format evolved.

A noted writer on the Critical Hits website (ChattyDM) picked up on the "One Page" dis-
cussions and spearheaded the idea of running a contest to get the community involved.
Enlisting some of the principal players of the evolution of the format (Sham and ChgoWz),
the first contest was organized in 2009

For the next 4 years, one of the judges from the original 2009 contest (Alex Schroeder)
diligently took up the mantle of coordinating the contest. Thanks to his dedication the
contest was held for the next 4 years; 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013. There have been over 350
entries combined after five years of contests, covering a versatile range of playstyles, set-
tings and genres. Best of all, every entry is licensed under the Creative Common Attribu-
tion-Share Alike 3.0 license for all to use.
