A Grand Dungeon Evolves

2011

Late in 2010 we received an email from Alex over in Adelaide asking whether we would be willing to support his new Dungeon Bowl tournament. Dungeon Bowl is a game well suited to 2.5D and 3D representation - so we jumped on board, filling the major sponsor position. The tournament itself was a success, with Alex and his fellow organizers learning a lot along the way.
When the tournament was over Alex sent a bunch of photos showing our product in action. Most impressive was the Grand Dungeon, the Dungeon Bowl pitch used for the grand final match. It was quite a build!

2012

Like any arms race the 2012 tournament had to be bigger and better than the previous year. The same was certainly true of the Grand Dungeon. Where 2011 was a 2.5D pitch, 2012 went truly 3D. When it comes to 3D builds height is everything and the 2012 endzone was a beauty. When we saw the photos we were very impressed; once again Alex and his crew had done an outstanding job of ensuring that the Grand Dungeon was a real showcase of our product and their skills and vision.

2013

This year's Grand Dungeon was simply inspirational. The table on which the Grand Dungeon rests was a custom built display table created by one of the club's member using offcuts of wood and sheet metal, MacGyver-style. It was a rock-solid three-tiered beauty. On it sat the Grand Dungeon in all its glory. More height than 2012 -- much more. A better paint job than 2011 and 2012. An outrageous Dungeon Bowl pitch design. What a showcase of our product and their talents!
Of course there is far more to the Adelaide Dungeon Bowl Competition than the Grand Dungeon. Alex and his colleagues continue to present a great little tournament. Each year there are more particpants, more prizes, and a better run tournament.
It goes without saying that we can't wait for 2014. New website, new venue, expanded range of games, and a Grand Dungeon that will surpass that of all previous years...
