I've liked your work in previous rounds and you've certainly given me no reason to withhold my vote here. Burnt Apple Haven offers the perfect mix of carnival and macabre.

Also, "bringing down the house" makes me do my happy dance.

As a side-note to the side-show question, wikipedia lays out an interesting history that dates back to the 1600's:

If you get a chance, follow the link to Lazarus - that portrait is one in a million!

Cheers and good luck!

This round I focused on the new rules as I'm not all that great with a stat block.

I really love this new feat. It is very creative and I'm always excited to see something out there for construct makers. The fact that you can get a berserk construct to STOP! is icing on the cake!

I always wanted to play a crafter of constructs and this feat is quite inspiring!

Hecataeus gets my vote this round!

This round I focused on the new rules as I'm not all that great with a stat block.

Unlike most other entries, your new spell is usable not only for your villain, but is one I would use for my own wizard character and I like that a lot! Plus, it works really well thematically for the Count (and you've chosen nice spells for that in his spell book).

Nice to see your growth from an over-powered mongoose claw to a well-balanced arcane prediction, too.

The count gets my vote this round.

It depends on what approach the critic is taking. If it is:

Constructive, well-thought out, and actually gives some practical guidance, I'm all for it.

However, if it is destructive, not useful, or worse - reiterating a point already made (usually by a judge) in a more caustic manner, I find the critisism to be mean-spirited.

I honestly can't tell whether the later is actually more predominate than the former, or just so obnoxious that it appears that way.

This is a contest where criticism could really help the 32 in coming rounds. I particularly like critics who give practical advice while recognizing the confines of the contest (ie: I think you should have focused more on this and less on this). I particularly dislike the (obvious) sour grapes.

I'm really digging the old Irish fairy feeling from this villain. When pixies go bad, I get interested.

I vote for Zavanix and look forward to seeing some crunch in the next round!

I'm loving the reuniting organs aspect of this villain - real horrorshow. Plus - kudos for the wicked name!

Twistwood witch gets my vote.

I'm a sucker for a villain you can love to hate to love to....well, you get the idea :)

I'm crazy for the count - this one gets my vote for sure.

So. Tell me why I shouldn't call shenanigans on this submission on these grounds. 'Cause right now, I think it's unfair as unfair to vote for this submission as it would be to vote for one using restricted material in WotC's splat books.

I honestly don't know which is more unbelievable: that you think you have any judicial authority to make that kind of a threat, or that you call out a person to defend himself when you know doing so could get him disqualified.

Truly despicable behavior.

By the way, Philip Snyder, I like your idea a lot. I think it's original and unique. I was really agonizing over my last vote - you just got it.

Hope to see you in the next round!
