Question about eligibility


RPG Superstar™ General Discussion

The Exchange RPG Superstar 2011 Top 32 , Star Voter Season 8 aka Sect

So, I was looking at the eligibility rules and noticed this:

Quote:
The contest is open to the general public, with the following exceptions: Employees of Paizo,... Anyone with a cover credit on a hardcover RPG book is ineligible.

So, uh. My item from the 2011 RPG Superstar was published in Ultimate Equipment, and on the front cover it says under Authors "... and numerous RPG Superstar contributors (see page 387)".

Does that count as a cover credit, which would disqualify me?

If you can't see your name without opening the book, you should be eligible to enter.

Nope. If your name isn't on the cover, you need three Paizo credits. Trust me, I like to pretend this is the Eric rule, since it was instituted after I asked way back when the rule was simply "credit in a Paizo book" (paraphrased).

They mean the real, actual, factual cover of the book, which has no authors listed. Many older books had actual cover credit (and new books, like Dungeons and Dragons, at least up to fourth edition...)

I am going to channel a little Clark here: don't DQ yourself, if it is a thing, then let Paizo DQ you, do not do it yourself.
