My 1PDC2010 Entry Won "Best Cthulhu"

Well, it is official. The votes for this year's One Page Dungeon Contest are in from the judges, and I am happy to see that my entry, "Raid on Black Goat Wood", has been selected as a winner and named "Best Cthulhu." Not bad for an adventure that was not designed specifically for Call of Cthulhu, but was presented with a blatantly distinct old school D&D vibe... with a healthy helping of Lovecraftian mayhem slathered on for good measure.

What does this mean as far as prizes and such? Well, I am not quite sure. I guess we will see once I receive an email from the judges explaining things to me in more detail. For those interested, all the winning entries have been collected in one easy to download PDF, so please feel free to check them out. Finally, here is the list of all of this year's winners (congrats everyone!):
