Bestiary Round.... what if?


RPG Superstar™ General Discussion

Grand Lodge Star Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

would be illegal to discuss what might have been if you had made the TOP 32?

I thought I had a better Round 2 entry than an item ... Maybe we could just post the names of your prospective Round 2 entry and we can explore them if the name strikes a chord.

That's probably something that will happen after round 2 is over, or at least after the submission deadline.

What Mark said. It is perfectly all right to make and post a monster, but out of respect for the Top 32, wait until after their round 2 entries have been revealed.

Actually, you should wait until Round 2 voting is finished. Otherwise, you'll have some voters comparing and contrasting Top 32 monsters to monsters that aren't even in the competition, possibly to the detriment of one or more contestants. ("Why should I vote for Top 32 monster #3? Also-ran monster #7 clearly proves that there's a better mechanical way to pull off that monster's concept?")

Yep, save it for when the round's done. There will likely be an also-ran for each round. Feel free to submit.

Of course, if you think it's a great idea, hang on to it, you can likely submit it somewhere.,,

sounds like the respectful thing to do ....

Sure, or Wayfinder or keep an eye on the 3PP boards for open calls. Plus Kobold can always use Monster Mondays.

I am not sure if my Bestiary idea is truly Superstar, but I was reading Inner Sea Guide and this creature idea hit me like a brick.

I have it tuned to a specific place .... It is unique and players would absolutely hate it.

The makings of a great beast ....

But I may just put this in my back pocket and wait .... the more I develop it ... the more I really like it, but that may be a trap of my own imagination.

After I read the R2 entries I will know if it had a chance.

I was trying to give Eric a shout out and he totally downplayed it. :)
