That would definitely suck.I feel kinda bad for the handful of people who got knocked out in the second-to-last round.
Not that making the top 8 isn't an awesome achievement, but they just missed the finals (and some serious bragging rights) while also just missing their chance to try agai.
umm, I'm pretty sure the top 8 could find work if they want to ;-)
Gods know I've sent stuff in and I didn't even get to the top 17.
Ok ok, I did it already. Now stop Nagging!
makes you feel better, doesn't it?
Yea...and that makes me more grumpy ;) Of course now I am pondering all the things I could have done differently. *Sigh*makes you feel better, doesn't it?Ok ok, I did it already. Now stop Nagging!
hey, the hard part is over - you got your entry in and now it's up to the judges.
kick back and congratulate yourself on a job well done!
...Of course now I am pondering all the things I could have done differently. *Sigh*
Congrats! And try to stop worrying; remember, "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire

You forgot a certain poster on the usenets (an archaeic form of message boards, now mostly used for Dling porn, for you youngins) who and decided to try to get hired just as a net rep...For once, I decided to not toot my own horn. :)
Reminds me of a great quote from "Boomerang" (and you have to think it in Eartha Kitt's voice, cuz it makes it a hundred times funnier):
"Maaaarcus, daaarling. You shouldn't have to toot your own horn. Someone else should do that for you."
(spoken with the most predatory gaze humanly possible as she looks him up and down)

Ha! Realize that when Ed Greenwood flirted with me at dinner, I just shrugged. If a 6 ft 5 in. bearded gray-haired Canadian bibliophile can't scare me, how can you?
Also, remember that I am so badass that I knocked myself out while driving and drove into swamp just to see prove how badass I am. And walked away unhurt. And then asked out the best gamer girl at Gen Con and convinced her to move cross-country to be with me. And she plays Pathfinder and paints minis.
I am fearless.
I rule!

Sean is Keyser Söze? That explains so much (especially Cloak & Dagger and Lords of Darkness)

I have it on good authority that you can make Sean cry like a baby by taking away his caffeine. Either that or you can make him attack you in the berserk frenzy of the deprived caffeine junkie. It's one or the other...
But anyway, taking away his caffeine is *definitely* a way to hurt him.<diabolic laughter>
I deny completely that a tittle-tattle imp called Cosmo was involved in the obtaining of this information. Or that thirty pieces of silver changed hands. (As if Paizo Customer Service were that cheap...)
<further diabolic laughter>
...<further diabolic laughter>
<fishslap... well actually more of a slap with a clinging octopus, of the lovingly wrapping tentacles around your throat, trying to choke you whilst trying to chew your nose off with its beak>
<speaking slightly muffled and smothered by octopus>
You! But I defeated you, months ago, when the flame wars were at their height on the Religious discussion thread.
Well at one of their heights.
Haven't you even seen the Summoner threads recently? Eidolons with tentacles everywhere. Little half eidolons crawling over the feet of Wes Schneider. And anyway, I got better. Or, umm, something.
Nooooooo!
<engaged in a life and death struggle, Nstrivaxon trying to dislodge the octopus, the pair exit the thread>
Speaking of octopodae: they're officially tool-users! (Video at the bottom of the article.)
Speaking of tool-users:
I hope the "tool" I've submitted will be used by some ( even octopodae, I don't want to discriminate anyone).
Threadjack² !
So far it was a very fun experience. Crafting ideas, refining and designing the heck out of them. It definitely was worth the effort, and i don't even now whether i will make it into round or my item was any good at all :) )
Everyone who is even slightly interested in designing should enter. 'Cause the only way you can really learn design is by practice and self-reflecting.
You have only 8 days left, but thats enough to get and refine a good idea that will blow the judges heads off ( or at least those of your own gaming group), so just do it!
Man, it sucks not entering this year, but I just don't really have anything. Now, if we were submitting something sci-fi... Maybe next year! I can't wait to see the top 32, the "almost submitted", the gag items, and the feedback items, as well as the rest of the contest! Happy New Year all! :)
$%$#%^&^&*^( ^%%$&^%&!!!
errrr.. Happy New Year back to you as well my friend.
Now type something up and submit it.

If I don't make it past round-one I might still follow along with the competition and create my own entries based on the sekrit challenges. I entered because it sounded fun and I wanted the challenge to refine my game design writing, and that's not dependent on "winning" (although I wouldn't get the great professional feedback). So I'm not feeling too stressed about January, looking forward to seeing the variety of submissions, and wondering what's next. :)
If you haven't submitted something - why not go for it? It'll be fun. :)
There were a number of threads that started up in previous years for just what you are thinking. Feel free to start one up, if you don't make it. :)
Best of luck to you!

I'm planning to do exactly that as well, so lets get those threads up as soon as the top-secret tasks are revealed.

You know Sean, I have always wanted to meet you because of your awesome work with FR (Mysteries of the Moonsea to be specific). Now, I just want to meet you so some of your badassness can rub off on me.

Just get a three wolf moon shirt, and you'll be set. Those things are woven from Sean's eyebrows, Chuck Norris' beard, and cotton!
