Casmaron is the most underdeveloped part of Golarion, and the write-up of Ular Kel in Distant Shores has me wanting more.

The hakan of the horse tribes, who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Sogys Tarami seeks out relics in ancient Ninshabur that will allow the horse tribes to decimate the Kelesh and the Taldans both unless stopped by our intrepid adventurers. But is it really actually a plan to free Rovagug from the pit?

Runic mandalas....

Hey! Didn't one of the ambassadors use this item on Babylon 5?

Your item is only useful for a single race ? Bad design IMO :-/

Devil's Advocate: How is that different than the multitude of items only usable by a specific class? Or do you think those are poorly designed as well?

Oh ye gods, the hipster flask. TOTALLY useful.

Looks like all that practice paid off!

Yeah, after I submitted I realized that in my edits, one point which may or may not be key, became rather vague. We shall see if anybody calls me on it, or even notices.

I'm a first-timer who totally blew the submission in a flurry of Haste to upload, without consideration of the posted limitations, so I presume I'm out of the race before it even started, just because I couldn't retract (or edit) my entry after it was sent, in favour of a more suitable item before the deadline closed... Of course the guidelines say that it "may" be disqualified for an infraction, I suspect that that caution is a rather diplomatic way of saying "will". I'm pretty sure that the guideline forbidding multiple entries is even more iron-clad, so I elected just to sit back and watch the rest of the competition, after I finished cursing, ironing my hands, and beating my head against the wardrobe. :-/ There'll always be next year, I suppose.

Hang in there, Terminal. In my editing back down to under 300 words, one thing got left rather vague in my description, but I'm still hopeful.

We're all in this together, and if we don't go forward, we know better for when we decided to do it next year.

I've watched the proceedings of RPGSS since the first contest, because my husband and a friend of ours each placed twice (although once was as an alternate) and I wanted to support them. I never entered before because I don't consider myself a game designer, I never had an idea for a wondrous item, and most importantly I do not actually want to win the contest, I have no desire to write an adventure module.

Unfortunately they changed the round one rules from wondrous items to arms & armor, rods, staves and rings, which I did have an idea for, so I entered without really thinking about the fact that I still have no desire to win the contest or write an adventure. If I place in the Top 32, I'm not even sure what I will do. I may just lose my mind and go for it.

Oh, I know just how creatively evil you can be, MU. I remember what you did with Percy's ashes...

This was the first year I was conscious it was coming up, and I had an idea so I just figured I'd give it a whirl. It got my mind off some life problems for a few hours at least.

The decision to try was eleventh hour, as was the actual writing, so I won't be surprised if it doesn't make it this year. But getting my hands back into design is a good thing.
