This weekend I briefly stepped into the role of a judge for RPG Superstar. It was a difficult task, because the eight finalists in Round 4 were all excellent. It wasn't a matter of dividing the good from the bad, it was a matter of dividing the good from the good. Kind of like drawing a line between everyone that would get a B+ from those that would get an A-.
I really enjoyed judging the contest, and hope that the finalists, even those that don't advance, find encouragement rather than discouragement. Lots of talent and imagination here!
And good luck to all those that do advance to the final round. Have fun!
