RPG Superstar February 7, 2010 at 8:45 pm

If you haven’t been following things I entered an annual contest at Paizo called RPG Superstar.  The idea is to find talented RPG designers.  The first round they selected 32 entries out of…  hundreds (they keep the exact numbers quiet). This year my entry was selected as one of the Top 32 magic items which means I advanced into the main part of the contest.

My first round entry which got me into the competition was called  Pharasma’s Blessing.

The second round 32 competitors made a pitch for a monster.  No stat blocks but a description of the creature and it’s powers.  In the second round the judges criticized the entries but the competitors advanced based on public voting.

My second round entry (voting closed), the Brown Urus, helped me get into the third round of the competition.  With 16 competitors remaining this round we all crafted a creature stat block from one of the other competitors entries.  Our entires are in and the judges are currently stewing over the Top 16 entries and coming Tuesday (the 9th) they will release their opinions of the entries.  Hopefully they like my third round entry a bit more than my second round.

Voting for the third round starts on the 9th when they reveal the monsters for all to see.
