Confusion Golem's page

Congratulations!!! I've loved and voted for every one of your entries, and I can't wait to see them in print. Your imagination makes me happy! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into making cool stuff for us gamers.

On a related note, I'm glad that so many of the voters and judges and I seem to have similar tastes in what we want to see in Pathfinder. It makes me excited to see where Pathfinder/Golarion will go in the future. Following this competition has just made me that much more of a fan.

Narrik – Because Psychotropic Saliva... and the "and it exploded" part makes me think of Galaxy Quest.
Gloomwasp – Because it belongs in a bestiary...and giant wasps terrify me.
Geomaw – It had me from the flavor text, and just got cooler.
Spiroskek – Because I want to see the fear in my players' eyes when they hear "Skek–kek–kek".

All of these win for me largely because I think players will talk years later about "Remember when we fought that thing!"

Psychotropic saliva. YES!

This monster is terrifying and disturbing without being gory. The flavor of the monster reminds me of some of China Mieville's best monsters. (Slakemoths... *shudders*) I will definitely be stealing this to terrify my players.

You are easily my favorite contestant this year. Good luck!

Dangit I swear Pathfinder is the only RPG system that really did a lot with mesoamerican stuff :|

Only straight-up fantasy RPG, maybe... :)

I agree, we need more Aztec themes. I love their mythology.

Definitely Shadowrun, especially when you take into account Earthdawn, which has a similar level of worldbuilding that ties into Shadowrun. From a character creation perspective, the "ground-up" style of Shadowrun allows whatever type of character you can dream up. The Shadowrun novels had all manner of inclusivity, and actively explored some LGBT themes in the early 1990s.

In a more modern setting, the Dresden Files books and roleplaying game I think do a great job of having a really rich and inclusive world.
