Hey all your 'brewers, get on over to Wizards and enter the monster and/or race contest. There will supposedly be real prizes to winners. Got me some snazzy books over the years.

Man, it's a shame that the Monster Contest is limited to SRD and your entry has to be new - the Divine Pseudonatural Paragon Damn Crab would have destroyed EVERYTHING.

Now, to the SRD to find something to modify!


[I'd try my hand at the Race contest, too, but I don't really get it. Just come up with alternate flavor? Or like a variant of one of the Core races? Eh, I don't know.]


EDIT: Ooh, Psionics and Epic are both part of the SRD, too? That might be interesting...

Hey. First off a big thanks to Vorpal for posting this. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to mention on this competing (and superior :P) board. I'm moderating both those contests and more scattered through the Previous Editions boards.

Psionics, Epic, Divine, and many many UA variants are now SRD!

For the race contest alternate flavour is demanded, while alternate crunch is acceptable.

Well, advertised last year and none of the mods struck me down so 'pears its all good.

You betcha. I almost made the mother of all brain moles but decided a divine dog was a bit classier.

Working on mine. Do I still get a prize if I'm the only one to enter? (dunno why there is so little participation. The last few years had plenty of it).

Thanks for posting this VT!

But blaargh, I'm outta creative juice.

I'll definitely hit up the races, though, if I can whip something up.

....wait....so I can't view the competition? That's a bummer...

May just be me, but I can't seem to get to the actual thread. Whenever I click on the "Entries must be posted Here" link, I just get sent to some New Thread poster. Needless to say, I'm rather confused about the whole thing.

Heh, that's exactly what I'm thinking about entering. Either that or an Intellect Devourer OF DOOMTM.

whose idea was it to use the newer format instead of the better, older one? that alone makes it more likely that people won't participate--seriously.

Well, I guess since it's WotC's new format and the contest in on the WotC forums, it kinda makes sense, even if some don't like the new format. I don't particularly care, but I don't have a template made in Word for the new format like I do the old, so old is preferable out of laziness. :smalltongue:

Indeed. Of course, I take back what I said before - I HATE the new format. Either way, I got my entry (http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=17031769&postcount=5) up.* I'm not terribly happy with it, but I had to rush to even get it done since it's due in about 3 hours and I'm about to head to the movies.

*That also happens to be the first post I've made on the WotC and/or Gleemax boards in like a year or more.

yeah, every time i try to get reinterested in the wizards board, the argumentative fanboys over there remind me why i try to stay away...

It's a wrap folks. Go check out how you did! And don't blush okay?

Hey, I completely forgot about that, but I'm pleasantly surprised - second place, behind Vorpal Tribble? I'll take that for my first UnCon entry ever.

Congrats VT and everyone else that entered!
