Last year, I submitted a neat but hastily- and sloppily-executed idea...
...but THIS year, I'M TAKING NO PRISONERS.
Anyone else?
... What I had MEANT to say was,
"I have no excuses this year. My Wondrous Item is being edited as we speak, and new archetype ideas are simmering on the back burner while I cut up the appropriate ingredients for the Super-Stew to come in Round 4."

Is that the best you've got?
My item was finished in January and I've had this years batch of awesome-sauce simmering on the stove since September.
:p

Unfortunately, thus the That Old Guy moniker... Not so much go-go juice as there once was.
Last year, though, I threw an item together on a whim. From "Hey, man, there's a writing contest" to item submission was something like 2 days. Didn't even refer to pricing charts (I always GM and hardly ever get to be a crafting-level caster, so actually working with the 'rules' of item creation was new to me).
This year, I do not have any such excuses... and I don't intend to need them. :)

I'm just taking a second round of editing my item as well! I'm probably going to submit mine on the very first day at this rate. I'm very jazzed about my item since I designed something of 'player usefulness' equivalent to the Handy Haversack! And it's incredibly aweseome, thanks for asking. :)
I've started roughing out my ideas for later rounds. Hey, three days a round is NOT a lot of time ...

Wow, that's impressive! I'm looking forward to seeing an item equivalent in utility to the Handy Haversack. I, too, have been re-editing my own entry; I plan on editing until the contest begins! :)

I thought this in the first year.
It may be useful as heck, but it needs to bring the sexy.
Camping items? -- circular file.
Items that obviate environment?-- dump them.
If you've got sexy and utility, well, cool, but bring the sexy.
That part about kicking around ideas for the later rounds? That's good stuff. But you can't be too sure what they'll throw at you. Last year was design someone else's Round N monster. Yeah, you can't prep for that.
-Ben.
