Pull up a chair and tell us about your dream game. This contest is open to everyone. We encourage the most hardcore gamers among you to even the causal to join in and have some fun!
Contest
As a gamer, you often dream what the perfect game would be. You think of all the fun adventures to be had within that realm. All the tales you will be telling for years after playing it. Everything that you consider makes it perfect for you and what you enjoy in a game. As such please let us what your dream game is.
This is about gaming in general and it could include: card games, board games, puzzle games, and video games. It could be a story within this dream realm of yours. Game mechanics that you would have inside it and even everything you consider makes up an amazing game that others are lacking. These are just a couple of examples so don’t feel limited to just these when sharing with us. We look forward to reading and hearing about it!

STOPTo support your work, I also upvoted your post!
This is neat. Although I'm actually writing my dream game. Not sure it will get developed; I think first I should focus on becoming a published author, but I have an entire outline for an RPG video game that I hope to find developers for in the foreseeable future.
Feel free to write about it if you like and submit it into the contest. I know our community has a couple of people trying make their dream game themselves as well. Everything from a future tabletop game to a scifi space game as an indie developer.
Cool. I'll see what I can write up about it that doesn't copy anything I've already put out about it on my website.

STOPOh yes, I'm a new comer on the Discord, but a long time game! I've always thought about the games that have really gripped me, and this would be a great chance to try and collect my thoughts on what I love in games!
Great we are looking forward to seeing it! We are expecting it to be a rather fun and great topic for people to use. I don’t know a single gamer that has not dreamed what all would make up a dream game they wish to play. So many games come so close and others not so much.
Well, here is my attempt to describe my dream game!

Awesome contest, @enjar. It's nice to see what fellow gamers have dreamed of about their perfect game. You'll make a post about this too, won't you?

Is there time left in this? I'd like to enter but I don't have a specific idea for my dream game yet (I have too many of them.)
In case anyone else misses it in the post but sees it in the comments. It will close on Wednesday, August the 15th at 5 PM Eastern Time (UTC -05:00)
Just keep in mind there a 3k word limit. Have fun we look forward to reading your entry!
Hello! I have found some great entries already, and after finding my way here I am interested in your option 2, video entry! I use dlive, and the only issue I see is about the first tag. My dlive posts are automatically placed on the dlive tag.
Would it be alright if I used #archdruidcontest as a following tag?
Thanks in advance, and thanks for inspiring so many to give such great answers :)
That is more than fine. Just keep in mind the time limit and make sure to say your steemit name and mention this contest in the actual video.
We are looking forward to seeing your entry.
Thank you! Already working on my script of ideas! :)
Phew. Barely had the time to do this, but wouldn't want to miss it. Anyway, here is my entry:
https://steemit.com/archdruidcontest/@gamingstation/my-dream-game-inner-struggle-is-grounded-in-reality-with-a-twist
That is why these things are open for two weeks. To give as many people as possible some time to create something amazing!
Glad you found the time this week to make it happen. Next week you can just enjoy what other people enter with!
:) I had this on my mind since you posted the rules. Not easy to find the time for anything besides work right now :|
Will have to check some of the other entries as well, I've noticed there are MMORPGs and stuff :)
Fantastic contest, here's my participation a little late but sure. Regards:)
