If you really, really want to besiege dungeons three-at-a-time, then this competition is for you. In celebration of there first being Dungeon Siege, and then two of it, and now three of it, the lovely chaps at Square and Obsidian have provides three sets of all three games for you guys to win. That’s right: Dungeon Siege One, Two, And Three (Count ‘em!) for you to play. They’re Steam codes, too, so if you already have one of the games you could always pass the code along to a chum. That sounds like a decent prize to me, but what to do to win it?
Well, we want dungeon-themed limmericks. Send yours to this address, and the best of them, as judged by us, will win the codes. The competition closes 12 noon UK time on Monday. Also see: rules.

The Fire & Sword one I’d enter of course
Though sadly I’m not from the right source
It’s not three dungeons I’d siege
But some castles for my liege
Because a dungeons no place for a horse

Nawwww, limericks are annoying to write. can’t we do haikus and be like;
Green moss climbs the wall
Dark, dreary torches flicker
Traps are everywhere

No, no, that’s not right. Here, let me help:
Limmericks are annoying to write
Can’t we do haikus and be like
Green moss climbs the wall
Dreary flames light the hall
There’s traps and they’re causing us fright

We once sieged a dungeon on Venus.
Didn’t have even a gold coin between us.
But after fighting caverns of rats
goblins, computer nerds, and space bats
We’d gained 250k XP and a lovely golden… set of cutlery.
p.s. If I win, please send my ‘prize’ to frightlever

While exploring the lost Mines of Moria
A grizzled and hard-bitten warrior
Said “Sod this for a lark!
I don’t like the dark!
Make the hobbits go first and I’ll follow ya”

For people who can’t just click on that email link and have it magically populate the subject line (like if you’re a Gmail user or something):
email address is: compo@rockpapershotgun.com
subject line is: Dungeon, Triungeon

You can actually associate mailto with firefox to make it work with Gmail:
1. Open regedit.exe
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClientsStartMenuInternetFIREFOX.EXECapabilities
3. Right Click on the URLAssociations Key
4. Click New->String Value
5. Set the name to ‘mailto’ (without the quotes)
6. Set the value to FirefoxURL
Now when you go to Control Panel->Programs->Default Programs->Set Associations->MAILTO->Change program… you will see Firefox listed

There was once an old dwarf they called Pete,
who they said always lands on hez feet.
The myth was disproved,
when from out of a clood,
a harpy splatted Pete on the groond.

This is harder than it looks…
Try as I might, I can’t come up with a rhyme for Josef Fritzl.

I can’t believe how difficult it is to rhyme something with ‘have’. :(

Look what I wrote… Took me hours and I just found out about this comp not too long before it ended… Scary but FUN!!!
It’s a compilation of the whole storyline in lymmericks.
Zaramoth the utgard such an evil way he rolls
Killing agallans and his kin for their souls
Bound their souls to his sword
Now he’s a Treacherous Lord
His power unquestioned and out of control
Azunai and his men confronts with no fears
Battle commenced on a field unheard to ears
The great cataclysm was amok
As the sword and shield struck
That field was then named The Plain Of Tears
He had created a race called the Seck
Who took the Kingdom of Ehb by the neck
But there was a Farmer
Who Cleansed all of Aranna
Of the Seck as if they all were a spec
Along comes Valdis & again evil has a Warden
Like Zaramoth he creates a race called the Morden
But he was betrayed
by the Archmage
that had left him for the hero to cordon
The Archmage has planned to be bound to the Sword
With help from the tree people the Cinbri Implored
To open the gate to his home
And surely grant him a throne
But the hero implored “pick up your sword” & the hero scored
Many years on by a legionaries hand a king was slain
The legion was stricken and bloodied by a murderous campaign
Vengeance was at hand
from the Daughter of that man
But many innocent men were killed by the power of Jeyne
The Legion is strong and will never say goodbye
As you gather troops from near, far & wide
In the forest Jeyne will retreat
For her twisted gods to be beat
What will you choose when it asks live or die?

I purchased a game just for me
Some things I just couldn’t believe
No custom controls or player captivation
The lack of a soul and steam activation
Oh my God this is dungeon Siege three
This is what I actually sent them ;) lol

Gentlemen, did we ever get a winner on this contest? I’d love to see the winning entries.
17/07/2011 at 07:01 Nat-Han says:
Yeah!!! I’d love to find out the winning entries also.

I guess we all suck too badly at writing limericks, and nobody won. ;_;

It was a pain in the butt to write this
but that’s what i do for a game.
in my straight honest opinion
this is kinda lame.
If you do me this favor
i will not call you chodes. (i couldn’t think of anything else to rhyme, sorry guys! you are all great!)
but because i like you guys
i kinda want the codes.
i have played dungeon siege
for quite a long time.
and i’ve always had fun with it
but i really miss DS II this time.
so please be cool
and pick me to win.
for if i do
every time i play will be with a happy grin. =D
