To the northwest of Mayfield, just south of the Rittermarchlies a hidden structure; lost amidst the dense forest. In the depths of these woods, under the most ancient and gnarled oak lies a ornate stone archway; through which is a doorway to endless tunnels, dug by forgotten generations of dwellers. Where they all lead, no one knows; welcome to the Tomb of a Thousand Doors.

In ages past, a mad mouse king built up stores for his vast riches in a massive, subterranean and deadly tomb. Seasons came and went and the tomb was left undisturbed. Sometime in the recent past, several antagonistic factions broke into the tomb and have uncovered various dangerous artifacts. Now, these diverse factions (Bat Cultists, Snake Worshipper, Plague Ratz, the Molerat Combine, and various other beasts) make this Tomb their home.

The Maus Kingdom is calling on brave mice adventurers to delve into the tomb and clear out the faction and retrieve any of the riches and artifacts that they can.

JOIN THE MAUSRITTER COMMUNITY THIS MAY FOR: MAUSRITTER: MEGADUNGEON MAYHEM

Mausritter: Megadungeon Mayhem is the next Game Jam hosted by Bernpyle Press. In this Game Jam creators are invited to create dungeons, dungeon rooms, traps, beasts, and treasures to stock and create the Tomb of a Thousand Doors. When the Jam comes to a close, all of the entries will be combined into a massive, epic megadungeon that will bring hours of gaming content to Mausritter tables across the world! When complete, ManaRampMatt will assign keyed numbers to each dungeon submission and then generate a "point-crawl" style map of the Tomb of a Thousand Doors, this will be released for free to the public. 

WHAT CAN I SUBMIT?

• One-Page dungeons (A4 Spread (two A5) if possible)
  • Please include at least two possible connection points (i.e. doors to nothing etc.).
  • One spread is the desired and suggested requirement but additional spreads are okay, just please keep it to an even number of full-page spreads.
• Single Dungeon rooms or tombs (A5 or an A4 spread if possible)
  • Does a dungeon seem too daunting to design? Well, how about just a single room.
  • There is no limit to the number of submissions. Go crazy.
• Unique Trap (A5 if possible)
  • Create the most random and deadly traps or puzzles. These make the megadungeon feel alive.
  • Take inspiration from your favorite dungeons and make them mouse-sized.
  • Get Grimtooth's Ultimate Guide to Traps and hack it up!
• Create a beast or a small bestiary (A5 if possible)
• Give us your best! Make it truly horrifying or extremely cute and cuddly...
• Flesh out one of the Factions or give us their dastardly leader. Is the Faction misunderstood?




• Dangerous Artifacts and Vast Riches (A5 if possible)
• We want spells, treasures, magic weapons; make them unique, tell a story.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSIONS

• There is no limit for submissions. If you are inspired, submit as many things as you'd like.
• Please, if possible, format the submission to be either A4 spreads (210mm X 296mm) of A5 singles (210mm x 148mm). Also leave margins. This will make creating a zine extremely easy.
• Feel free to charge whatever you'd like for your submission. Mausritter is PWYW (pay what you want) and that is a good suggestion, but don't feel limited to that. We do suggest having Community Copies available for those who are in a tighter place financially.
• Please promo and share your submission on the Mausritter Discord to get the buzz brewing!
• You are not required to, but highly encourage to include the "Mausritter Megadungeon Mayhem Submission" logo to your submission.

And with all that said... Happy creating and we can't wait to see what you come up with!
