Homebrew, I Choose You! Sounds like a hoot in a hand basket!

[Tanuki Tales]

So that puts Homebrew, I choose you! firmly in the lead. Any other voices to weigh in?

Also, if you haven't voted yet for the last competition, please do so!

[SamBurke]

Despite never having done this before, I vote for Spell it Out for Us.

[4th number]

Despite never having done this before, I vote for Spell it Out for Us.

Yeah, me too. [Though, I suppose the Pokemon thing might get some new interest from the Playground.]

[Tanuki Tales]

So that's 4 for Spell it Out for Us and three for Homebrew, I choose you!

I'll keep this improptu voting open until this month's contest closes out.

But if you change your mind, just say so; these votes aren't set in stone.

[Warpwolf16]

Oh such a hard choice, both subjects seems wonderful concepts. Also debating if I could come up with something for this month.

[Tanuki Tales]

Before I forget, I wanted to let you all know that this contest will have two themes that are permanent each year and will not change:

1. [Name Pending] - Every March will be a Monster only contest held in memorium for the loss of the Fathers of the hobby. The theme is to create a monster that is to the flavor of the original editions of Dungeons and Dragons and screams "Gygax".

2. Once More, With Feeling! - I haven't selected a month yet, but the theme for this contest is a previous theme (over three contests back minimum) as decided by the regulars in here.

So something that looks completely mundane and normal but kills anything it touches.

Troll Brau what of Arneson? Have anything planned to invoke his memory as well since you've got something to scream 'Gygax'?

[Tanuki Tales]

If that's what the early editions spoke to you of, then sure.

Well, they died close to each other month wise and only a year apart, so that contest is more for both of them. The theme itself is "retro gaming" more or less, it's just that when I think early DnD, I think of Gygax. I know Dave was an important architect to the table top we all love, but his name is not as well known outside of the circles of diehard geeks and gamers.

[Milo v3]

Okay. It took a while but I've done all the Patronages, class abilities, and listed the Spheres. Now I just have to do the Techniques.

[Warpwolf16]

True enough Troll Brau, Arneson was indeed the architect of the original version of D&D and from then on he had a falling out with Gygax. Over time the conflict was resolved( love the OD&D and Blackmoor d20) and all was happy. Regardless I'm looking forward to that contest!

Also should have my submission up soon! Running it through the ARG race builder for balance issues.

[Tanuki Tales]

How do you guys feel about June or July being the month for the Once More, With Feeling! contest?

[Milo v3]

Sounds fine.

[Tanuki Tales]

Woof.

You made a big entry this month, didn't you Milo? But what can I expect from our most dedicated contestant?


In other news, my name change went through! Which means that the PGBC has completely evolved into it's new format.

What? You've been with us since Contest 1, even if you haven't entered or gotten to the voting circle every time. That's a claim no one else can make.

[Milo v3]

Damn. I've made the scope to large. I don't think I'll be able to get all of it done. I'm going to remove some of the spheres, but I'm not sure how many.

How many spheres should I aim to complete by the end of this months competition? Answers other than all will be most useful.

EDIT: I accidently hit F5. And lost over three hours of work.

Start with 3, then aim for 5. You just need enough to be judged on.

That sucks man.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Troll...did your name change?

[Tanuki Tales]

Troll...did your name change?

Maybe.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Maybe.

That's going to take some getting used to. Apparently they started taking name changes again?

[Tanuki Tales]

Yeah. Roland did a huge slew of them a few days ago; I've had my request in since August.

To be honest, my previous name was a bungle on my part. I'm trying to create a brand name for myself across the net and it didn't occur to me that having "Troll" in your name was a stupid move.

Anyways, let me go close the voting and declare our winners.

[Razanir]

That's going to take some getting used to. Apparently they started taking name changes again?

My name also changed. I named this account Elimu Marimech after my longest running D&D character. A dromite wilder who lasted an entire 4 game sessions. (My group is really bad at scheduling, and a lot of campaigns die out quickly).

Since then, I'd chosen Razanir to be my name around the internet

[Tanuki Tales]

Little late, but congratulations to all our winners this time around!

I'll be getting on the trophies in the next day or so and then I'll get on the rundowns. If you haven't entered yet, please think about submitting an entry.

[DawnbringerSO]

As you can see, I have started an entry this month, but it will probably take me a while to finish.

I'd very much like to do both the pokemon entry and the spell entry too, so if one could be scheduled for next month, and the other for march, that would be great.

March is the Gygaxian/Arnesian Retro Gaming Contest, but there's an idea.

Do you guys object to Feb being the Pokemon contest and April being Spell it out?

Why don't you tell us what we'd be doing for those competitions and then we decide what order we want the 2 in?

He did.....

[DawnbringerSO]

He did.....

He told us we'd be doing something with pokemon, he didn't tell us what that thing was.

Likewise, he told us that we'd be doing something related to a single spell, but not what that something was.
