New, important info in the first post!
And furthermore, a note: The occasional picture is allowed, as part of your adventure, as an extra for the artistically inclined! HOWEVER, the adventure must still be largely a textual one, and the prettiness of your pictures, or whether you have them at all, will be entirely ignored during judging.
The rule of thumb is as follows: Does my adventure lose any of its meaning if all the pictures are removed? The answer should be a resounding NO. If it isn't, you need to think of how you can rely on your writing more!
But, as I've iterated, the point of this contest is fun! Some of you might have more fun if you can add the occasional picture, and I'm not going to deny you, as long as you remember that this is a contest of text adventures first and foremost.
