The Beginning of the End—Round 4 Encounters Are Up!
Monday, October 5, 2015
Our Top 8 contestants have tackled the difficult task of designing encounters set in one of three pre-selected Flip-Mats, and now the results are available for you to see! This is their first opportunity to put everything they've learned and practiced over previous rounds into a playable part of the game, and represents an achievement so significant that these contestants are now considered full alumni of RPG Superstar (and thus not eligible to enter the contest in future seasons).
Round 4 is the last challenge contestants must face to reach the final round. We encourage voters and fans to not just read through these encounters, but consider actually playtesting them to see how they play in actual game situations. To allow time for this, voting on Round 4 won't close until Sunday, October 18. However, the contestants shouldn't be resting too much during this period, as they must consider what adventure they'll propose should they make it to Round 5 (and soon, they will receive the information needed to create a short elevator pitch to run by Creative Director James Jacobs, for pre-approval of their adventure ideas).
So check out the Top 8 encounters, see if you can get a group together to play through them, and think about which designer you want to give an opportunity to pitch an adventure to become an official part of Golarion canon!
