Big day today!

[Nick Bolhuis]

I've just been through and commented on all the top 32 (should have gotten around to it sooner, kind of feel like a jerk). I wanted to get my input in before this afternoon, as I know I'll be looking elsewhere.

Does anyone know if we get the round 3 rules this afternoon as well, or will that come along later? I think someone said something about a PDF too ;)

I am super stoked to see what my fellow 32 have come up with, and also a little scared.

Best of luck to everyone!

The next round's rules are announced along with last round's winners, as far as I know.

I think so too, just wanted a confirmation. I want to use as much time to navigate any twists as I can

Actually, here's what you need to know about that...

Spoiler:

EXPLOSIVE RUNES!

The PDF should be along later. I dare you to read all of it. Heh, heh, heh. ;->

Gets me every time.

Dang it Neil!!

He gets me every time too. I even thought about it before I clicked it.

Nick,
I am also equally excited to read everyone's archetypes and afraid of how good they are going to be. Based on the overall quality of round 1 submissions this will be an exciting contest.

Good luck to my fellow contenders

[Trevor Merback]

Aw man, now I need new eyebrows! Thanks a lot Neil!

[Correlon]

Ah yes, this is going to be yet another late night: ~14,400 words to go over with my tiny Adamantium Comb of Nitpicking. This will require coffee.

[Nick Bolhuis]

Me too, but at least it's an official response

[Ross Byers]

I belive the Round 3 rules are to be revealed when the voting closes on Monday. I could be mistaken.

[Scott Fernandez]

Oh now I have a fiendish butterfly swarm in my tummy... 2 more hours till the gauntlet begins.

Twenty out of the top 32 and four alternates will not be making it into Round 3 (unless there is an exactly tied vote for last place, in which case the precedent of when this has happened in a previous year seems to suggest that the next round will be expanded to accomodate an extra contestant).
Don't be downcast. Your writing and creativity has been noticed by Paizo. Your names are now there in their minds, writing samples posted here in the Round 1 and Round 2 forums for RPGSuperstar 2011 in case an editor or developer needs a quick reminder of who you are and what you write like. I don't know how much RPGSuperstar influences the Paizo team, but I do know that I've seen the name of at least one person who made the top 32 in a previous year (but advanced no further) in a Paizo product.
Congratulations on making it this far, and whatever comes next, you ought to be able to hold your heads high.

With something like a 4 minute DL time, and the Paizo advertised 300 pages, that is looking like an impossibility.

GL all!

Come along. Leave the Nice 'unique services' purveyors alone. Time to go back in your cage.

I knew I should've invested in those speed reading classes...
