Eligibility Rules Update

Paizo Employee Chief Technical Officer

We have amended the restriction regarding previous Pathfinder credits.

Prior to this update, the rules said that you were ineligible if you had a cover credit on any print edition of a Paizo Pathfinder product. The FAQ said that you were ineligible if you had any Paizo design credits.

The updated rule is that anyone who has a design credit in 3 or more of Paizo's Pathfinder products is ineligible. (This is regardless of product format or location of credit.)

(Other eligibility restrictions remain in place.)

I need to ask a question about the eligibility rules. Part of the very first rule says "Anyone with a cover credit on a hardcover RPG book is ineligible". Does that include any self-published works?

Damn. I suppose the fact that it was a vanity printing and in another genre doesn't matter, if in fact it is my name on the cover...

Well, I suppose it's better to find this out now than when/if I'd made it to an advanced round, right?
Marathon Voter

was it ever for sale, or did you just create a few copies for yourself and some of your friends... I would think such questions would matter.

You could buy it from the publisher. Now, that was at the cost of printing - there was no profit margin. It was also available as a PDF download (for free).

I hope you entered anyway!

Yes, I put in a submission right before I went back to check the rules. I'd say what it is, but...
