Setting creation contest?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


I know you guys seem to be working on this Varisia (new fantasy word to spell incorrectly, yay!) and maybe plan to use it in a few more AP's, but I would love for there to be a contest to make a new world to set an AP or two in. The winner would then work closely with Paizo for the duration of those AP's.

How.
Awesome.
Would.
This.
Be?

Given the amount (or lack thereof) of sleep the Paizo clan is getting these days, I doubt they have time to look at setting proposals. Such an endeavor would be extremely time consuming, and very expensive.

You best bet, if you want to get your setting ideas published, but don't want to start a vanity press (self-publish), would be to submit your work to various open-calls. There are a few publishers out there looking for new submissions.

I remember sleep. Barely.

Join the club. I've had the curse of the long-hour'd job for the last 11 years. Every job since I graduated college has allowed less than six hours of sleep a night.

Seriously terrifying stuff ->Modanfinil

Though personally, we've been experimenting here with caffeinated water in a humidifier (two birds and all that).

LOL!

For some strange reason right after the first laugh attack passed my sleep-deprived mind (not from excellent customer service like you guys, but from wedding planning worry) suddenly conjured an image of you-meshed-with-your-avatar bursting through a brick wall and I lost it all over again. Awesome!
