The Codex has been receiving a lot of praise and we are humbled. As for determining the winner, it was a hard process and with 6 judges, the bid for best of the best came down to compromises and what dungeon garnered the most support. Will we do another one next year? Ask us in January. We put 2009, just to allow people doing one next year the possibility of using the PDF's brand recognition. Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Honestly, when I first read that one, before the winners were announced, I thought "well, there's the one to beat..." If there's ever a second contest, I'm definitely breaking from the template and just laying it out in a graphics program. The difference in readability and even my own reception of the dungeon as a reader is huge. Don't get me wrong, the template is great for what it's intended to do...but it just doesn't come across in the same way as the more polished presentations. well, heck, I guess I’ll join in on the dogpile of praise for Arendt’s.

It is great to see all the entries inside a PDF. I am still going through each entry and I can see a lot of creativity there. Given that you've thrown '2009' into the title; I can only hope that this will be a continued annual event. Well done to ChattyDM, Chgowiz and the rest of the people who put this together.

If/when I DM again, I'll definitely be taking both some of the actual dungeons presented as well as the concept and putting them to use. I hope you do this again next year, as I'd like a shot at submitting one of my own. I found this site far too late to do one this time. This was pretty awesome reading.
