Just seen mine for the first time. I regret only proofreading 28 times instead of 29. It's a small simple mistake.... But I can't believe I did that.

I still can't even with these back stories. And all these items are so weathered and worn in... What if I use the construction requirements to craft a new one? Do I have to scrape it on the ground to fit the elaborate description?

I've been listening to the Oblivion Soundtrack through most of my voting. I just switched to the Pixies. Let's do this...

Wow...

Did they really cull 50% of the items?

What about something a little bigger than an encounter, but smaller than a city or region? Something like "design a dungeon or wilderness area map, one that implies multiple exciting encounters."

Sounds like a good idea. It's a possibility.

I would love to see a regional or city map round, but I too suspect it will be focused on an encounter map with little to no word count.

This..... Does this mildly overpowered thing.... And this other thing. Oh, I forgot... Once per day you simply win Pathfinder. Does every other item just seem terribly OP?

As any good superstar would do, I've started thinking ahead to the next round(s) of the contest. We have a map challenge in round two, and an encounter/map challenge in round four. A simple map only round is a first this year (as far as i know. So i ask the question; what is a map without an encounter? I feel like this may prove more difficult than expected to make yourself stand out. How's everyone feeling about round two?

Could this be the year? Let's hope it is. Cheers to everyone who participates.

I think someone mentioned ~550

Awesome. Thanks (:

Does anyone have a rough guess to how many items are missing from the 508 in the data base?

haven't seen mine yet ... but there is always hope

I was not expecting to. I don't have tons of time to vote. Not expecting to get past the Star Voter level again. But it was a welcomed moment.

Just seen mine. I never got the chance last year. I must say I'm proud of what I submitted. Not the feeling I was expecting.

Voting, voting, voting.... did I pay my rent....? *@#% I need to go pay my rent. lol

I want to create a monster with a ZZslot now.

Hahaha round two awaits!

Wow, how is it I always forget to get an item for my ZZslot?!?!

You can't forget your ZZslot. Come on now.

So many familiar/animal companion items...

It costs me how much to buy an item that tells me if my coins are coins?

Don't give too many details about an item.

Had to vote for filigree....

Soooo... Who else is awake until they see their item? Can't just be me.

this

296 words vs 296 words... Epic...

A titan against a titan!

Yep, that's just a weapon.

Does anyone feel like the submissions are mildly worse than last year as far as formatting goes?

Fantastic video, Sean.

I just keep waiting for the round 2 twist.......

Still haven't seen mine... but great job everybody!

3 days.... 60+ items a day... no sign yet. I'm keeping the faith... but my eyes hurt.

Lots of info here. Thanks to everybody. The total archetypes per class list really put things into perspective for me. New bloodlines and schools really leaves the sorcerer/wizard with fewer archetypes than I had realized.

You got to love little twists. Thanks for the response.... I'll prepare both! lol

I'm sure it's not a bad idea to start planning ahead, so I had a quick question about round 2. Do we have the choice of Class Archetypes and Racial Archetypes? Sorry if this has already been answered. Did a search and didn't find anything.
