If I was in the Top16 I would submit...


RPG Superstar™ 2011 General Discussion


Ok, by now you all should know the drill.

You can see the round 3 rules here.

In this round we want even less overlap with the real contestants than in the last round. So in addition to the "don't post before the deadline or shortly after the reveal" rules I would like to present the following options:

1. Wait until the villains are revealed and choose an image that wasn't picked by one of the Top 16.

2. Pick one of these images:

Spoiler:

#33
#34
#35
#36
#37
#38
#39
#40
#41
#42
#43
#44
#45
#46
#47
#48
#49
#50
#51
#52
#53
#54

Note: I picked these with a quick scan of the available avatars. If there is one these already is a famous golarion NPC or AP villain, i didn't know, but that shouldn't hold you back reinterpreting the image with an all new idea ( and not just rehashing the person in question)

3. Use an archetype from one of the reject threads. (extra challenge: don't use one of your own)

Like Curaigh said in the last thread this is meant to be a training thread for the contest, so try to follow all the rules of the rounds.
(If you just want to show of your awesome villain concept, I'm not gonna stop you, by extension of rule #0: Have fun)

Shouldn't we wait until the sixteen post as not to influence the contest?


I certainly don't want to interfere with the contest. So not posting before the deadline, and staying mum around the reveal are absolute musts.
I can also live with not posting before the reveal, or even before voting is finished. Whatever is necessary not to step toes.

I made a Round 3 villain in the off-off-off-chance that I would make it. It was actually pretty fun. I'll post the villain here, just as I would have turned it in.

I did as well, and I really liked her. I'll post her when the voting for the Top 16 to Top 8 are done.


*gasp* so you made a villain and just adpoted (adapted to) one of the portraits!?

The rules says you have to pick the portrait first xP

I am quite sure ost contestants had a villain in mind and partially finished, and picked a template to suit that villain. It'd be silly not to.


Two fighters with the same mechanical statblock are not the same character :P .

Actually i didn't want to shoehorn an existing idea to fit whatever twist was revealed for round three, so I didn't do any R3 work until after the rules went live. R5 is a big one, so I figure if I'm going to do any pre-rules work it should be there.

I had a few ideas ready myself, unfortunatly they didn't mesh with the portraits at all. So on the Round 3 rule release I went right back to the drawing board.

+1, but your drawing board is more important than mine. :) good luck!
