Thanks - running this tomorrow so this is very helpful!

Awesome! I hope you and your players have a great time :)

GMs put a lot of time and effort into running games for con-goers, so I thought it would be nice to have a shout out thread for everyone to show their appreciation to any GMs who might have made their convention experience a little extra special.

Personally, I'd like to give a big shout out to my GM for the Sunday night special (table #28, Tier 5-6). I didn't catch his name, but he was awesome and if you're out there reading this - thank you for a great game!

And to all GMs, a big round of applause - you are all greatly appreciated for the work you did.

Wow! I threw #1-12 out there simply because it was repeatable and would have the highest chance a player's Morlamaw hadn't played it yet, this is totally unexpected and awesome!

Besides pre/post-con games on Warhorn, there'll be a board we can put up extra events for Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. There's been some talk of "pre-mustering" online.

Lets get it nailed down so we can arrange our schedules around it. Since you're arriving Friday night, would Sunday afternoon or Monday afternoon post-con work better for you?

No worries, Friday evening is totally fine for us (probably the best time, really) - we're flying in Friday afternoon so we're available all Friday evening ^_^

This will be my & John's first year attending PaizoCon, so can anyone suggest a good meeting spot to gather all you psychedelic space walruses?

That is also in our discussions....what the disqualification rules should be. We are currently at if you have at least 5 industry published pieces. For Wayfinder, previous articles probably won’t count against you, but if you’ve already done a side trek adventure for us, then I’m thinking that would disqualify you.

But, we are still talking about this so.....anything could happen.

I'll be on that disqualified list for participating, but I would love to volunteer for judging.

It's a great idea and I hope you guys go through with it. I think a lot of us miss RPGSS, and while I understand this isn't exactly the same I still think it's a fabulous idea :)

This is a great little post - love it! <3

Yay! My first Wayfinder! This is such wonderful news. I'm so excited. Congrats to all authors - I'm looking forward to reading everyone's articles.

Fey/First World, Supernatural or Ancient Kingdoms (great suggestion Isabelle!) would be the ones I'm most inspired by, personally.

Congratulations, Nick! You earned this victory. It's been an honor to compete beside you and everyone else. Every single one of you stepped up and brought fierce competition. Be proud of this amazing accomplishment. I'm wishing you all the best in your future freelancing careers. Nick, I can't wait to see your module when it's complete, and Charlie & Jason, likewise for your scenarios.

Also, a huge thanks to the staff of Paizo who makes this contest possible - Owen, Chris, judges, and everyone else, thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this.

YEESSSSSS! Congratulations, Nick! A very well-deserved victory. Looking forward to seeing your finished module :)

The Starpearl Tower
When a changeling girl is taken by a coven of hags, a call goes out for her rescue. The coven matron locks her away in the Starpearl Tower and awaits the new moon. The hag intends to conduct a ritual to bring forth the corruption that has lain dormant in the girl’s soul since her birth. Can the adventurers brave the dangers of the Sodden Lands to save an innocent before she succumbs to the curse of her dark heritage?

The Starpearl Tower is a Pathfinder adventure designed for 5th-level characters; PCs should reach 8th-level by its conclusion.

Background
Fourteen years ago, the hag Velika seduced a paladin of Erastil named Heveril, corrupting him with her dark influence. His fall from grace was almost total and he committed much wickedness with his lover, but when she coaxed him in the end to take an innocent life he was overwhelmed with guilt and disgust both for himself and for Velika. He begged Erastil for forgiveness, swearing never to kill again. He wandered the mountains as a hermit for months until fate led him to the struggling village of Jula. He settled there, swearing to protect the villagers as penitence for his crimes.

Meanwhile, Velika gave birth to Heveril’s daughter and hatched a plan to use the child to bring him back under her influence. Velika and her two hag coven-sisters left the infant in Jula where Heveril had established a small church to Erastil, and come to be known by the locals as “Father.” The hag queen knew that the changeling babe would one day feel the calling to return to her. Though she mourned the loss of her beloved child, she focused on preparations for the return of both her daughter and her former lover, confident that they would all be reunited.

Heveril took the child in and named her Calla. He raised her alongside the other orphans in his humble church, but as she grew older he gradually became certain of her parentage. He kept the secret to himself and prayed every night to Erastil to help her overcome the destiny of her blood. Calla grew up to be kind and compassionate, though she longed to know her true heritage. Over time, however, her mood grew pensive and her temperament volatile. When finally she came of age the call was too strong and she was unable to resist its pull. She stole away in the night, drawn to her mother’s summons.

Getting Involved
PCs start out in the village of Jula in the Sodden Lands. There could be a variety of reasons for them to be there; they can be locals of the village, travelers passing through the area looking for work, or visiting friends in the area.

Corruption System
Throughout the adventure, PCs have the opportunity to influence Calla. Velika’s insight into danger alerts her to the PCs presence. She frequently attempts to scry on the PCs to prove to Calla how violently the outside world treats monsters like her. Several encounters have the potential to lower or raise Calla’s corruption level, dependent on the actions of the PCs. Each day that passes also increases Calla’s corruption to reflect Velika’s growing influence over her.

Chapter 1: The Caves of Salt and Blood
The adventure starts as Father Heveril emerges from the church of Erastil and raises an alarm. He announces that one of the orphans under his care is missing and he requires assistance in bringing her home. If PCs do not initially volunteer, Father Heveril approaches them directly offering them payment in return for their aid.

Father Heveril clarifies that Calla, the missing girl, is a changeling he found as an infant. He explains that hags transform their changeling offspring into beings like themselves through a dark ritual carried out under the new moon. The new moon is a mere week away.

Father Heveril does not reveal that he is Calla’s father, and instead tells the PCs of a sea hag by the name of Emelda who lairs in the coral caverns beneath Jula. He believes Emelda is involved in Calla’s disappearance.

The PCs depart for the sea hag’s lair, but are waylaid by bandits that also call these caves home. Further inside, they encounter a territorial dispute between vodyanoi and boggard factions which they have the chance to influence. After that is resolved, the PCs discover a fossegrim residing in the sea hag’s pool which they must deal with before entering the underwater caverns below. The PCs explore the beautiful, labyrinthine coral caves, which are home to giant sea life such as alpheid shrimp, sea anemones, and seahorses. They can make skill checks to use the seahorses as mounts for the remainder of the chapter.

Once the PCs reach Emelda’s lair, they find her ready for them thanks to Velika’s warning and hidden traps greet them at the entrance. Inside, they face the sea hag herself along with her ceratoidi guard and pet nycar.

Upon Emelda’s defeat, the PCs have a chance to interact with Calla through an enchanted mirror. This interaction affects Calla’s corruption score. After the connection abruptly ends, an enslaved nixie comes forward to tell the PCs about the three hag sisters. She believes Calla is Velika’s daughter and retrieves a starpearl from Emelda’s corpse. The nixie gives the gem to the PCs, explaining it is one of two keys they need to enter Velika’s lair – the Starpearl Tower. The nixie offers to heal them and invites them to stay for the night. In the morning she escorts them to the sea hag’s enchanted boat which takes them to the holder of the second key – a storm hag named Crescentia.

New Monster: Giant Alpheid Shrimp (CR 3)
This colorful aquatic creature is an oversized shrimp with a disproportionately large claw. It uses this claw both to defend itself and to fire stunning bolts at its prey. It is often found lurking among coral reefs and other submerged structures.

Unique Treasure: Starpearl
These black pearls are roughly the size of an average human adult’s fist and flecked with specks of silver, making the surface appear as a miniature reproduction of the night sky. They impart knowledge based on the current Cosmic Caravan constellations in the sky, granting bonuses on select skills and opening skill unlocks. It also acts as a luckstone when the constellation of the holder’s birth is in the sky and can cast guiding star once per day.

Chapter 2: Eye of the Storm
The boat steers the PCs out to the stormy sea. They must contend with a sea drake who attempts to capsize their boat before they arrive at their destination – a graveyard of ghost ships, clustered together within a cove. Though the graveyard is supernaturally protected from the brunt of the storm by Crescentia’s magic, the PCs have other dangers to overcome. At the entrance of the cove, PCs encounter a distraught merrow who they can either choose to help or fight before continuing to the ghost ships.

The ship graveyard is home to a crew of draugr, a shark-eating crab, and a number of reefclaws. After navigating through the mass of rotting ships, the PCs come face to face with the Crescentia, her incutilis-controlled servitors (including the young offspring of the merrow they previously encountered), a lacedon, and, if they aren’t careful, a swarm of jellyfish waiting just under the weakened floorboards. The defeat of the hag earns the PCs the second starpearl they need to access the gates to Velika’s lair. Another enchanted mirror gives PCs a second chance to interact with Calla and affect her corruption score before her image disappears.

Chapter 3: Confrontation with Destiny
With both starpearl keys in hand, the PCs sail through the storm to the rocky isle that houses the Starpearl Tower – an ancient astronomy tower from the fallen nation of Lirgen. This relic is now the domain of the star hag, Velika, and her wicked followers.

Two karkinoi guards await the PCs at the gate, ready to attack. Once they have been defeated, the PCs use the starpearl keys to open the enchanted portal gate and enter the tower. On the ground level, the PCs encounter a pair of enlightened contemplatives who guard the secrets of their deceased Lirgeni masters. They test the PCs with a series of puzzles so they may prove themselves worthy to move further into the tower. If they fail, they face a cephalophore guardian. If they pass, they receive temporary sanctuary to rest.

On the upper floors, they must contend with creatures from the void such as newly hatched lunarma and a fiendish mothman who hunts the PCs at the star hag’s command. At the top floor, PCs enter an observatory with a massive armillary sphere. Floating in the center of the quickly spinning bands, Velika reveals the truth of Father Heveril’s involvement along with his sinister past. She explains her desire to use Father Heveril’s affection for Calla to lure him back to the tower so they can be reunited as a family. Velika refuses to allow the PCs to take Calla, and will fight to the death with her witch underlings at her side.

New Monster: Star Hag (CR 9)
In their true form, these gaunt creatures appear as emaciated old women with solid black eyes and wild, pale hair, streaked with black. They have a connection to the void and use the stars for divination. Their cold and breath-stealing powers are made more dangerous by their uncanny ability to know when danger is near.

New Location: The Starpearl Tower
The Starpearl Tower was originally a remote observation tower for some of Lirgen’s greatest astronomers. Since the destruction of the great nation, it has since fallen into the hands of a hag coven whose leader uses it as her lair. The structure is composed of five floors and features an extensive library, living quarters, laboratories, and an impressive observatory. The main gate is a magically warded portal and can only be accessed by matching the constellations on the surface of two starpearls with the ones programed into the gate, making it difficult for unwanted guests to enter.

Conclusion
Once Velika is defeated, the PCs find Calla in the room beyond. She is conflicted about the events that have occurred. The PCs must convince her to turn away from her hag heritage if they want her to return to Jula. The results of their diplomacy checks are modified by Calla’s total corruption score. If they succeed, the locals declare the PCs to be heroes. Father Heveril apologizes for his deception and offers them humble payment from the church’s coffers. Calla thanks the PCs for rescuing her, regretful for her mother’s fate but happy to be spared from transforming into a monster. If not, or if the PCs do not reach Calla before the new moon, she could become a new threat to the area, replacing the slain hags and starting a new coven.

So clicking on the submission tool and getting a notice saying the round has closed gave me a minor heart attack. Thankfully I checked this board and my email. Now I just pray that my email doesn't get caught by a spam filter or lost somewhere in the Interwebs.

I know, right? My heart can't take this anymore LOL!

It's great to see more family-friendly games in the market to help bring the next generation of gamers into the hobby. This makes me so happy :)

Oooh very nice! :D

Wow! Once again I am in shock. Thank you to everyone who voted and offered feedback, I am incredibly grateful. Charlie, Jason, Nick - Congratulations and good luck, guys. It is an absolute honor to be standing with the three of you in this last round.

To those who didn't advance, I say it again - you're all superstars and I mean that with all sincerity. You guys are so incredibly talented and inspiring. I have no doubt you all have a bright future ahead of you in game design. Every single participant of this contest, be it contestant, voter, or judge helps foster imagination and community within the gaming world. You guys have taught and inspired me so much. Thank you.

...and now to get to work.

Seems like less folks are commenting this round. I wonder if they're waiting to play the encounters first or if the encounter round is just less exciting for people than the previous ones, since they have to really experience them to judge them.

Yeah, as others have said I think it's a combination of voting fatigue and also people taking time out to play-test the encounters.

Also, hi! Sorry I have been so quiet lately. Between this contest and a number of other stuff going on for me right now, my schedule has been very hectic. But I wanted to pop in to say hello while I had the chance :)

In utter shock right now. I really did not expect to advance. Thanks to everyone, judges and voters alike, who took the time to offer feedback. There is so much talent and creativity among this group, and that monster round blew my mind with the creatures everyone came up with. Every single competitor did fantastic work. It is an honor to be competing beside you all. You guys truly inspire me.

I’m in quite a bit of shock right now that I managed to make it into the Top 8, considering all my missteps with this entry. Thank you to everyone who voted on me despite the flaws. And thank you very much to the judges and everyone who commented and provided very insightful feedback. This is such a learning experience to me so I truly appreciate hearing from everyone.

I want to address a lot of the feedback, comments and questions here, but right now I would like to focus on prepping my encounter entry for Round 4. Once I am done with that I will post with a more detailed response. Again, thank you all so very much.

Very nice article, Frank. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Congratulations to my fellow Top 16 contenders. To those who didn't make it, you guys did amazing and offered truly inspiring work. This was such a hard round and everyone should be very proud of themselves for stepping up to the challenge. You're all superstars in my book :)

Thanks to everyone who voted for me and who took the time to comment on my map.

As a little bit of a background to the creation behind this map, I got the inspiration for it during the Open Call round. One weekday I was upset and having a very bad day. All I wanted to do was to find a quiet place to just be left alone and cry, but I work in the Financial District of New York City so there is no privacy whatsoever in the area. I started thinking about how nice it would be if there were public gardens with private little “cubby holes” for people to sit in and just have some privacy and space to relax. And that’s when the idea hit me. I thought, “If I make it into Top 32, I’ll make that as my map.”

The other inspiration behind it was the suicide forest in Japan, Aokigahara. The history behind that place is just so sad and haunting. So by the end of the day I came up with the idea of this garden dedicated to the goddess Naderi, who is a deity I’ve always been intrigued by. I thought it was a unique and interesting concept which had a lot of potential for compelling encounters.

Now to address some of the critiques given…

I recalled that some contestants last year were called out for having there compasses always facing north and that they shouldn’t be afraid to have it go in a different direction. So I just decided to heed that advice… though clearly I shouldn’t have LOL.

In terms of not adding more/numbering locations… this was my major dilemma during the creation process. To be totally honest, I am neither an artist nor gifted with a talent for CG programs. So I knew from the start I would have to hand draw the whole thing. I started with a first draft on standard graph paper just to map out what I wanted the whole thing to look like without worrying about symmetry and such. After I got that done, I downloaded the template grid provided to us and I used Paint to get the symmetrical structure of the outer wall, hedges and pool (sorry, Alanya… they weren’t hand drawn, my apologies. I’m not that good LOL). I used Paint for the oval structuring, printed out the finished skeleton and then filled in the rest freehand with pen and colored pencils.

I considered naming the specific locations, i.e. The Poisoned Well, The Drowning Pool, Statue of Naderi, Crying Room, Swan Fountain etc. but I was unsure of how much to tell without giving too much away and DQ’ing myself, so I opted to play it safe. Also, there wasn’t much room to go into too much more detail since I was hand writing the map and too nervous to try making a CG key. Also, given the shape of my design, I had a hard time even figuring out where I would put it. Similarly, I did not want to go into too much detail about each individual haunt as I thought that would risk being DQ’ed. As such, I ultimately decided to leave it as seen and hope that the locations of some of the haunts would indicate what might have happened and allow everyone’s imaginations to roam on the others.

I also did not want to texture anything too much by coloring in the white areas with grass, stone pathways, etc. as I did not trust in my artistic ability (or lack thereof) to make it look clean. I was pretty sure adding any extra texturing in would have made it look muddy and would have taken away from the simple elegance I attempted to achieve.

@RonarsCorruption: Thank you so much for your kind commentary. Yes, I admit I do love secret passageways and such myself. However, I didn’t feel that connecting the individual rooms was appropriate in this instance as the hedge rooms are intended to be private “crying rooms”. Perhaps that decision might have made it veer a bit too much on the simplistic side, but it was important to me that the design made sense to its intended origin.

All things considered, I am very pleased with how it came out and it is certainly a place I would love to adventure in. I think it offers opportunities for a number of different encounter scenarios, many of which offer much opportunity for a lot of role play and puzzle solving. That said, my biggest regret (perhaps aside from not adding a bit more info on specific locations) is that I completely forgot wall thickness! AHHHH!

Again, thank you all so much. I really had a lot of fun with this round and I enjoyed looking over what my fellow contestants brought to the table. I am so very honored to be in the Top 16, especially considering the fierce competition and imaginative minds present. Everyone did such an amazing job. Best wishes to all!

Hi everyone. First off, I want to say a big thank you for all the kind, supportive words, and also for the insightful and constructive criticism. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to respond, but now that I have a moment I just wanted to say a few quick things.

I knew that taking a staple item like a Figurine of Wondrous Power was risky, but I thought “Well, let’s just go for it and see how it does.” Fortunately, it seems to have positively resonated with the majority of voters and the risk paid off. So I’m glad I decided to just go for it ^_^

In terms of why I didn’t include divine spellcasters… well, to be honest, I was worried that people wouldn’t like an item allowing divine spellcasters to have familiars. I thought limiting it might be safer. Truth be told, I honestly did struggle with that decision. Considering the feedback, I do wish I had added it in now.

Again, thank you all so much for taking the time to comment on my item.

Something I would like to ask anyone who has achieved Guildhall status to consider - putting your RPG Superstar entry links on your profile page. I went looking for some stuff and it is terribly inconvenient for me to go looking through all the contests to find your entries when I can find you so easily.

Okay, it's not for me, it's for the 3PP who also may be looking at your stuff. And me. It's always about me ;-)

Thanks so much for this suggestion, Monica. Great idea! I have updated my profile to include the appropriate links :)

But we're missing some important demographic information.

Are you a cat person (correct answer) or a dog person?

Sorry I am late on this (was away for Labor Day weekend vacation)... I'm very much a dog person. The bigger the better! Though my husband says that the only reason I dislike cats is because I am a cat. There may be some truth that.

Anyway - good luck in Round 2 everyone ^_^

This was another one of my favorites and I upvoted it every time I saw it pop up. In fact, I believe I may have squealed with delight every time, as well. I would love to use this in a home game. Congratulations!

Team Butterfly FTW! \o/
Hehehe ;)
But seriously I loved this item. The imagery was especially nice. One of my favorites. Great job and congratulations!

Congratulations!
This was one of my favorites and I upvoted it every time I saw it. So happy to see you here on the Top 32 :)

I guess I should do the whole introduction post as well. I’ve been playing RPGs since my cousin introduced me to D&D when I was 12 (back in 1992) and I’ve been hooked ever since. Like most children of the 80’s, I’m a huge fan of 80’s fantasy movies and cartoons. In addition to gaming, I’m also involved in my local J-fashion community.

I have a BA degree in psychology and work as an admin assistant, but my true passion is writing children’s literature. I live in New York City with my husband (a former Top 32 Superstar), our many books and our overflowing boxes of miniatures.

Right now I’m playing in a “Reign of Winter” campaign, a “Jade Regent” campaign and we also just started a “Kingmaker” campaign. I occasionally play in my local PFS games as well. My husband and I also regularly run LARPs at local gaming conventions. I don’t talk much on these forums because I am a little shy, so I’m sorry if I seem a bit quiet ^_^;

Anyway, I just want to extend a big congratulations to all the Top 32 + alts! Wishing you all the best of luck. It is an honor to be among such a talented group of creative people.

Lunch time, introduction time.

Hello everyone! I was born in former USSR Ukraine, shortly before the USSR was dissolved (you're welcome). As such, "Isaac" is the Americanized version of my true Slavic name.

My father's side of the family is from Ukraine - from a small village called Rudniki in the Lviv Oblast :)

Oooh this is so exciting! So happy that I get to join my husband here in the Guildhall ^_^

Anyway, congratulations and best of luck to all. Looking forward to seeing the maps. Great work everyone! :)

Congratulations to my fellow Top 32 contestants! You all did great work. Looking forward to seeing everyone's maps :)

Congrats to the Top 16! Regardless of if you advanced or not, all 32 + alternates did a fantastic job. You guys should be really proud of yourselves.

I CAN TALK NOW!!!

Phew.

Okay, so the #1 critique is that there's just not enough here. True dat. I really had no idea what to shoot for, no way to calibrate myself, so to speak. All I could think of was how lame most of those item entries with 280+ words and prices over 250,000gp were, and I went for a "less is more" approach, and apparently majorly overdid it. Er, underdid it. Whatever. Point is, lesson learned: need more content than this. Now I have a baseline. Next time I nail it. ;)

I suspect many of those with sparser maps went with the same approach, which based on the judges' emphasis on being clear and clutter-free certainly made sense. I think this round could possibly have been the hardest in RPGSS history from what I can tell. Much of that because there was no other round like this to really draw from to get an idea of what the judges wanted but also because of how vague the rules and guidelines were. Anyway, good luck! :)

I actually think this is a very evocative map. Personally, I am not reading into the "hexed" wording as a pun at all. It seems to evoke a rather witchy feel and I assume that the title is referring to a hexed, or cursed area. I like it!

Thank you for the feedback on my Ghost Moon Bow, Lucas. Much appreciated :)

I just want to take a moment to thank Brigg, Thomas LeBlanc, Mark Seifter, Feros, Raynulf and Jaragil for the time they took in providing me with their feedback (I hope I didn't miss anyone). I really appreciate it guys.

I like this one. Very clear visuals with a solid layout. Looks like a fun town to explore.

This is probably my favorite of the maps. Great concept with a beautiful execution. Great job!

This is such a cool idea. I get the critiques above, but I personally love the concept so much! :)

I really love this concept so much! What a great idea :)

I disagree rather strongly about whether someone "should" or "should not" need validation to keep at it. People need what they need, and it's different for everyone.

I absolutely agree, RD. The majority of people who work in this industry are creative, and creative-minded people tend to be more sensitive. In many cases, validation stirs inspiration and motivation. There should not be any shame in this. Everyone goes through moments of doubt and there is nothing wrong with that. While I do feel that resiliency is key to working in any creative field, that doesn't mean that validation isn't important to help strengthen that resolve.

Snowblossom, I want to apologize to you before presenting my critique. I just want to say, I have a very strong opinion of your item, and it's not one that many would consider too nice...I just want you to know that I'm not saying anything I wouldn't want said about my own item. This is the kind of critique I would want to hear from someone who genuinely did not like anything about my item.

So, I am sorry. Please, feel free to skip me over if you wish.

** spoiler omitted **...

No worries, Brigg - I appreciate the input and for taking your time to critique it. Hearing different opinions only helps me grow, so thank you :)

Thank you. I was starting to think I'd completely missed the mark.

I really liked your "Lash of Wild Roses" too and I upvoted it every time I came across it. I really want it for several of my characters :)

Here were the ones I liked best that didnt make top-32:

Aww, thanks Grumpus - Ghost Moon Bow was mine. I'm so happy to hear that you liked it :)

And I am joining in on the Springheart love. That, Widow's Web, First World Sliver and Butterfly's Jaunt were my top favorites.

In general, I was very impressed with the quality this year.

Widow's Web by a wide margin was my favorite over my own item and even over the fine work of my pit crew which also included some amazing work.

Widow's Web was my favorite as well. I had really hoped to see it in the Top 32.

Big congratulations to the Top 32 and alternates! Way to go, Superstars! I'm looking forward to seeing your maps. Good luck to all.
