With Halloween firmly behind us and the next big holiday in a months time (I'm British so sorry Thanksgiving) it's time for a big festive contest! I'm reusing the templates from the ill fated Iron Marines contest, so you can guess that we're having a Christmas Mini-Campaign! There's one big thing about this though, and that's that it has to be funny! Yes, this isn't just Christmas but it's comedy too! So you have extra time to make sure your campaign is humorous too, but that doesn't mean unbalanced!
Your basic requirements are:
- 2-3 levels maximum
- Include a level intro (General we have encountered...etc.)
- Recurring enemies if present
- 2-5 new enemies
- 1 unique level feature, positive or negative
- 1 boss
- 1 secondary Hero
I have helpfully provided forms with all the necessary fields for you to fill out.

Final Requirements
- You have until 10 December to submit your entry (3 weeks!).
- All entries must be submitted to me via a Private Message.
- I will accept edits and updates on your entries up until the closing date. Please resend the entire entry and I will use your most recent submission.
- I need your entire entry in one PM. Sections sent separately will not be counted.
- As has been the case with previous contests, entries that include more than is required (eg. 8 enemies or additional hero skills) will be disqualified. You will be given one warning about this when your entry is first submitted.
- Do not move fields around in the forms, and do not add new fields. Fields should only be removed if necessary, such as removing Magic resistance or Armour where only one is required.
- Hand-drawn or stylised artwork is disqualified, as it makes the entrant too obvious.
Any questions, or if there's anything I have missed out, let me know here.
