Just for the record, DctD didn't strike me as Expedition to the Barrier Peaks at all. Not that I wanted it to...just saying.

I found the premise very cartoon-esque which I enjoyed, and the whole pitch very creative and innovative. I looked beyond any mechanical/minor plot shortcomings as being well within the constraints of the pitch, and none felt insurmountable. Pitch is one thing, final is another...

Dear Mr. Taig,
<br />
Congratulations on reaching the top 1 of this year's RPGSuperstar contest. Unfortunately, there <i>is</i> no Round 6 (or at least not one which Paizo has yet publicised) so your efforts to prolong your run in the contest have been in vain, and now you get the booby-prize of writing a 32 page module.
<br />
With Sean Reynolds sending you emails.
<br />
No pressure, honest. <span class=messageboard-ooc>(Actually, that was sarcasm, let's just be quite clear...)</span>
<br />
At this point, from the viewpoint of a CE aligned (very advanced) succubus, I'd have to say that I found your monster reformation alliance the most engaging entry, although some sort of indication of what nifty uniforms (or the like) that they wore (if any) would have strengthened it, from that same perspective. Ah well, given the almost complete absence of details about what snazzy robes or heraldic crests the organizations across Round 2 employed, maybe it's a mortal thing that such details are considered low priority. Or maybe that's the reason these were 'previously unknown' groups...
<br />
Anyway, wishing you well for the future. </p>

<p>Mike - I was really torn between you and Tom Phillips. His work displays a level of polish and finish that yours lacks, but your work is more over the top creative. I'm not saying either is better, but Tom, I think, is a sure thing. He's going to be writing for somebody somewhere no matter what - and frankly Paizo would be foolish NOT to hire him.</p>
<p>I loved your monster, and your module proposal. I think, ultimately, for me at least... you would benefit the most from winning this competition, and vice versa, I think Pathfinder would benefit from you winning the most. </p>
<p>Congratulations on a good run and a stellar final entry, I sincerely hope that either you or Tom wins, and that whatever happens you BOTH get to write for Paizo. </blockquote><p>I've been pretty critical of several of Tom's things, but I voted for most of his stuff when I had the option to. But I agree, Mike would benefit more. Tom has already written an adventure, The Ship of Fools, for TPK Games, so he's already well on his way to becoming a better freelancer. I've heard some good reviews from it already, and I'm interested in picking it up when the next paycheck comes in.
<p>Tom has been in the competition three times, now, we know he's good. We know what he can do and we know he's got a future in writing. But Mike doesn't have that same exposure to the public that Tom does. Mike's name is out there now, but Tom came into this competition, I think, with an advantage of everyone knowing him. This was one of the reasons I was more critical of his submissions than others in that he's had the experience of two other runs.</p>
<p>Either way, I foresee many of the contestants getting more job offers from gaming companies, but I'm not going to lie when I say I look forward more to Mike's material than Tom's. His submissions jived more with my personal style of gaming, and my personality.</p>nathan blackmer wrote:I missed the chance to vote, but I would like to leave some feedback.
