The Top 32

After reviewing more than 850 wondrous items, the judges have selected the 32 RPG Superstar finalists! They are:

Alex Handley—Talisman of Whispering Souls Alexander MacLeod—Malleus Maleficarum Andrew Black—Goblin Strand of Ears Chad Patterson—Greaves of the Monkey Chris Nichols—Deadstring Shears Christine Schneider—Arcane Anvil Clinton Boomer—Crown of the Breaching Legion Daniele Nanni—Gloves of Adaptive Combat Erik Anderson—Charts of the Shadow Voyage Hal Maclean—Nausea Pill James MacKenzie—Leash of the Shadowhound Jason Nelson—Phial of Ebon Flame Jeb Boyt—Figurine of Shielding Joe Outzen—Torch of Solidity Joel Flank—Bodyguard's Vest Joseph Yerger—Elemental Quiver

Daniele Nanni, Hobert Lanham, Michael Kogan, Mirza Jasarevic, Robert Nichols and Russell Taylor were originally selected as alternates. (Names listed in alphabetical order.)

Viktor Svindland, a Top 32 contestant, elected to drop out of the competition, and two original Top 32 contestants were disqualified, allowing Daniele Nanni, Michael Kogan and Robert Nichols to advance from alternate to the Top 32.

Dwayne Monroe did not submit a country, and neither did Mirza Jasarevic, the next alternate in line, so Russell Taylor has advanced to the Top 32. Hobert Lanham is now the sole remaining alternate.
