This is a building exercise that can produce all kinds of results depending on your luck. The rules are simple. Just roll the virtual dice to determine the theme of your build, budget, etc. Who knows what you will be able to build with each roll?
Instructions on how to play are on the following post. If you guys have any questions or ideas, don't hesitate to ask or PM me. Have fun!

3- Nuclear Fallout Bunker (The government has assigned you to create a special bunker in case of a nuclear war. The occupants must have everything they need to live as well as a room for performing experiments. - CLASSIFIED SENDER)
4- Underground Bunker for Cultists (The end is nigh according to the Great Llama! In order to fulfill the prophecy, my bunker must be completely hidden in vegetation and overgrowth. - The Reverend)
5- Haunted Castle (I was once the king of my country until the peasants rose up and destroyed my castle. My new home must have everything that a spooky castle needs, including a throne room for me to receive those pesky ghost hunters. - Ghost of King Leopold VI)

1. Roll the Virtual Dice
You may use any virtual dice program or app as long as you get to roll three dice at the same time.
Virtual Dice Links: http://dice.virtuworld.net/ http://www.roll-dice-online.com/ 2. Consult the Roll Guide for your Results
There are three main categories: theme, budget, and lot size. After rolling three virtual dice, consult the given guide for the week. The roll guide will look like this example: (Please use the roll guide in the first post for the actual roll)
THEME (This will change every week)
1- Any Traditional
2 - Any Modern
3 - Asian
4 - Mediterranean
5 - Vacation Home
6 - Any of the Above
BUDGET (This will also change every week)
1 - 20k
2 - 50k
3 - 90k
4 - 150k
5 - 200k
6 - Unlimited Budget
LOT SIZE
1- 20x15
2 - 30x20
3 - 40x30
4 - 30x30
5 - 50x50
6 - Any Lot Desired
Hence, if you get 5-4-1 from your roll, you have to build a Vacation Home on a 20x15 lot worth around 150k. You may only roll once.
Lastly, aside from these three, other categories may be added when necessary.
3. On a Bad Roll
If you thought that rolling for what you'll build is bad enough, you also have to roll for the weekly Bad Roll! You only have to roll one virtual die after your initial three dice roll.
Basically, the bad die will prevent you from using a certain item, cheat, stuff/expansion pack, etc. You might not be allowed to use a loveseat, palm trees, or even bathtubs! For example: (Please use the roll guide in the first post for the actual roll)
1- No Bathtubs!
2- No Building in Willow Creek!
3- No Perfect Patio Stuff!
4- No Orange Items!
5- No TVs!
6- No Move Objects Cheat!
Hence, if you got a 2 in your second roll, you're not allowed to build a lot in Willow Creek.

Hiya this is a real nice looking concept. I did a role now just for fun, gave me a 5-5-5 with bad 6 Sad enough i don't have enough time this week to create the roll, but will surely check for entries and try my luck with the dice another week.
Is it an idea to mention the due date in the threads name so competing builders have an overview of dates of the different challenges that are followed?
