Paizo Publishing is starting a new RPG Superstar contest for the gaming community! Basically, it’s open entry and you submit more and more complex items each round to get chosen as a potential author.
It starts with anyone who wants submitting a wondrous item – the judges and community discuss and pare that down to the top 32 entries. Those 32 enter a villain concept, which similarly gets judged and pared down to 16, which stat up the villain. The final 8 design a villain’s lair with map, and the final 4 submit a complete design proposal.
The rounds are slightly different from the 2008 RPG Superstar awards, for which all the content is still up on the Paizo boards. The previous year had six rounds, and they were more unrelated – design 3 thematically linked monsters, design a country… Some of the entries from last year were really, really great, just toally crackerjack. Christine Schneider (the eventual winner) and Clinton Boomer’s were my favorites. (See here for my posts covering the 2008 event.) The country round was my favorite, too bad there isn’t another this year. But the wondrous item round will be using Pathfinder RPG stats this time!
Want to show your chops? Enter an item between 12/5 and 1/2!
