Congrats, top 8! Even though I got destroyed in last year's encounter round, it was actually the one I had the most fun doing and is still the the one I look forward to the most in this competition(beside the adventure pitch).
Congratulations Top 8! I'm looking forward to some good playtesting.
Congrats! I can't wait to see what you guys are able to cook up !

Congrats to all 8 of you to advance to the next round. I hope you're all in it to win it now, as there's no going back from this point. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for your encounters, as I'll be judging this round and keeping a close eye on everyone from here on out as a possible freelancer (regardless of final placement).
Congratulations to you all! Based on the glimpses of brilliance from all of you in the early rounds, I'm looking forward to running some fun playtests soon. Knock us out!
Congrats! I can't wait to see what you guys are able to cook up !
Yes, and if you make a giant robot head that shoots lasers, make sure it is in Numeria and not somewhere else like, say, Rahadoum. At least I can be example of what not to do for others...:).
Congratulations everyone. They were great monsters, now wow us with the encounters, please!
Congratulations to he Top 8. Looking forward to following the rest of the ontest from the sideline, an playtesting the entries.
Btw, the blog post text says voting ENDS on March 6th, while the Superstar scheule with all the dates says it BEGINS on March 6th.
I'm also wondering is the challenge to design an encounter -- as the Superstar "front page" says -- or a location. Obviously they're going to be similar, but I don't think quite the same thing.
Monkey Goblins Attack!, for instance, was a great encounter, but obviously I wouldn't give it many points for a location.

Can we get some sharks with some frickin' laser beams attached to their heads?

It's a Location, Map, and Encounter.
We can reference material from the Pathfinder Campaign Setting, but what about material from the Pathfinder Players Companion line?
Take it from me- don't just emphasize map and location, make sure your creature selection is interesting.
You don't want Clark writing, "Chain golems?!?!?"
Make it exciting on all three levels.

Ah, that should be "campaign setting," lower case, not specifically referring to the Campaign Setting (formerly Chronicles) product line. I'll ask Chris to update it.

Congrats guys! You should buy a couple packs of minis and use whatever you randomly get...Woe to the author who gets a skeleton, human druid, and watch guard x2 :)
Can't be as bad as my luck, 6 packs bought and 3 packs of Gnome fighter and dire rat.
Wow, North Carolina represent! Two from Raleigh, one from Apex (about 10 minutes from Raleigh), and one from Kernersville (about an hour away).
Proof that tobacco is good for the imagination? (See also Lewis, Tolkien...)
Ok, regardless of where you guys go from here on out in the competition, I totally want to meet the four NC guys in the top 8 this year for drinks at some point (I'm in Raleigh too). :)

EDITED.

Congrats, Top 8!
It is one thing to get top 32. That is quite an honor. That means you had the mojo to catch our eye. That is hard enough.
Then Top 16 means you delivered again with a solid organization and showed promise for more to come.
Top 8 means you are starting to develop the kind of consistent and appealing resume that could make you a future RPG Superstar winner.
And don't forget, people from Top 8 on have gone on to some serious freelancing even if they don't win it all. So you have already arrived in some pretty rarified air.
But don't take your foot off the gas. Slam that pedal down! The finish line is still a way off, but it should be coming in sight.
You guys really should be proud of yourselves. Candidly, I dont think I could get this far in the contest.
Great work!
Clark
Good job, guys! Best wishes over the next three days. I recall round 4 being by far the hardest to get done. Got very little sleep this time last year. And we didn't have the extra burden of knowing people would be playtesting our entries.
So. Y'know. No massive, overwhelming, crushing pressure or anything. :-)
Proof that tobacco is good for the imagination? (See also Lewis, Tolkien, Stewart...)EDITED.
*chuckle* I've never smoked anything in my life actually. My better half has a thing for pre-embargo cuban cigars though, and I suppose I get some second hand.
Clearly though, -all- of the top 8 are doing something good for the imagination. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do next :)

Congratulations to those who got through and commiserations to those that didn't. One of my favourites has been knocked out, so particular commiserations to Andrew Marlowe, but I still have 2 in the running.
I'm looking forward to seeing the maps and encounters.

Don't give me that, "I didn't inhale" crap! You were in the room!
Mmm...Cuban! (Never had anything that wasn't POST-embargo, myself.)
;-)
Many congratulations all -
map fu, evil twin of template fu is sharpening his map reviewing talons right now and is eager to start.
I have also arranged a group of stalwart adv... - erm - fodder to feed to your encounters, so expect some more detailed feedback from me this round.
Congrats to the top 8! Looking forward to what you come up with next round!
Way to go NC contestants! Congrats on getting this far.
Good luck in the encounter design section from Albemarle, NC.
Best of luck! We're already planning to run some of the encounters after the reveal. So make it worth our while!
Congrats! I can't wait to see what you guys are able to cook up !
*laughs* Too awesome.
Big time congrats!

Thank you, Sean.
Another question: Does "published content" include material published on the Paizo blog? Like maybe some of the material published in the old Design Tuesday blog?

Something published in an Adventure Path is acceptable, then?
(Sorry for the dumb question, but I don't want to get disqualified for something I misunderstood)
I believe we've allowed that in the past, so let's say... yes!
Something published in an Adventure Path is acceptable, then?
Yep! AP, Chronicles, Companion, Player Companion, Campaign Setting, Modules... all allowed. :)

Every single year I have someone who I really am impressed by that doesn't get by the voters. Seriously, every single year. Year one, it was Sam and the migrus. And then every year since then.
The contest has a life of its own and voting is a part of it.
Congratulations to the contestants, and woot woot for Round 4! Things get very interesting as the competitors get the chance to explore Golarion, catch all of our imaginations by expanding the world, and give us an exciting encounter with fun possibilities. Good luck folks!
