Adam Donald and the Screeching Fiddle


RPG Superstar™ General Discussion

Designer, RPG Superstar Judge

Folks,

Now that this item is no longer anonymous to me, I see that its author, Adam Donald, is a Top 8 finalist from RPG Superstar 2012.

Unfortunately, section 1 of the official RPG Superstar rules page states, "The top eight finalists of all previous RPG Superstar contests are ineligible."

(If our Friday power outage hadn't caused web site problems over the weekend, which delayed completing the R1 judging, I think we would have caught this before it went live.)

The intent of this rule is to prevent finalists from dominating later RPG Superstar competitions. Obviously Adam is talented, as he made it all the way to Round 4 in 2012, but it's not fair (and not allowed under the competition rules) to have him competing against "undiscovered" authors.

So, regretfully, we have to disqualify Adam Donald's entry from RPG Superstar 2014 and promote one of the alternates to the Top 32.

However, this does mean Paizo should take another look at Adam and see if he's available for freelance...

Robert Brookes's spirit window is promoted from alternate to the Top 32! Congrats, Robert!

Congratulations!

I originally came here to say i had gotten my hopes up when I saw "Donald" on the list of names. Both the screeching fiddle and spirit window were good items though. Good job to both of these guys!

1 person marked this as a favorite.

I just came here to see this and I'm blown away! Thanks so much for this opportunity!

Just out of curiosity, why does Robert's tags currently say "RPG Superstar 2013 Top 4?"

That's being fixed. :)

Well, I was going to leave the surprise about being a time traveler for the later rounds, but--

Aw, they fixed it.

I was going to tell you how cool 2016's Adventure Paths are ;)
