    I'm sorry, but I've come to the final decision that, until the Dread is up on the Pathfinder srd, it can not be used as basis for an entry into this contest.

    My decision is such for the following reasons:

    • Dreamscarred Psionics is 3rd party material at its very core. The only reason it is allowed in this contest in the first place is because it was made to work specifically with Pathfinder, Paizo sells the book and because a lot of individuals use the PSRD just like a lot of people used the d20 SRD. So if it's not on the PSRD, it's not even usable in the common "Core + PSRD" gaming set up.
    • Without being on the PSRD, the material is not for fair use and discussion. So anyone judging the PrC on it's merits would be required to own a copy of Psionics Unleashed and it's not fair to ask that of Playgrounders[/i].


    I didn't decide this lightly and I apologize for its impact.

    The good news is, depending on any last minute entries before the deadline on the 3rd, I will most likely be extending the contest to allow the minimum 3 entries to be submitted, leaving ample time for any reworks, rewrites or resubmissions.

    Alright, the new contest is up and Fear Itself still has two days before it ends (though I may be extending it if we don't get a third entry).

    But on to something more important!

    Remember back when I said there would be changes coming towards the trophies? How I also said we'd be getting two or three new trophies?

    Well...I lied!

    You'll be getting 8 new trophies in the contest!

    Now, you're probably thinking, "12 trophies?! Are you crazy! That's waaay too many votes every month!" But worry not, only seven of those twelve are handed out every month and you only vote for five of them.

    "But what about the other 5 trophies?" you may ask; well, those are super secret "achievement trophies" that are only handed out to select individuals when the requirements for earning them are met. So you'll just have to stick around and keep your eyes open to find out what those trophies are and how you earn them!


    *ahem*

    Anyways, starting with "Fear Itself"'s voting thread these new trophies will go into effect, which goes hand in hand with the brand new trophy design for the contest. I hope you'll all enjoy it as much as I will.

    Fear Itself has been extended until the 10th. If anyone has an entry they didn't submit because they thought they ran out of time, you've got another week. So please do submit it.

    I'm on the case! I've had a rough month but I think I can work up something, was in New Orleans and picked up some copies of Swamp Thing(Yes I bought the comics set in Louisiana, so be it!) and really got a idea for the trinity of the Green, Red, and the Rot. I'll try and have it posted by tomorrow if possible.

    Also for the new contest I was hoping I could finally make the High Evolutionary as a class, though seeming as you want a primeval style entry I have a few better ideas including a shapeshifter class similar to a druid without the magic and other hindering bits, I look forward to the entries! Though I wish I did pick up that book on primeval flora and fauna, would have came in handy this month.

    New 52 needs to just die already. *sigh*

    Is it continuing the thing from Brightest Day where Swamp Thing is Alec Holland? Because that's just a damn insult.

    Anyways, Floraphobia then?

    And how was New Orleans? 'cause I'm jealous with all that good food.

    Well, High Evolutionary works if you devolve as well as evolve. I'll add basic "evolution" to the theme since it seems poignant.

    And have you tried Wikipedia?

    It is but the New 52 is a wonderful thing for Swamp Thing as it brings back up a lot of old lore for Swamp Thing and yes it is Alec Holland but he was given the choice of becoming Swamp Thing and that the Green did need him. Anton Arcane and his kin are vessels of the Rot while Animal Mans daughter is the vessel of the Red and Swamp Thing the vessel of the Green, the story line is really developed and I'm loving every moment of it.

    I'm thinking the class will be focused on the Rot, so fear of entropy, chemicals, radiation, etc. Things of the rot, things man cant understand but only be warped by.


    Also New Orleans was amazing Troll Brau, so much culture, so much food, so much amazingness. You should totally go!


    As for the High Evolutionary idea I was tempted but as you've worded it so far I can work with anything and yes wikipedia would be my friend, I actually have a few books on flora and fauna I use as inspiration and reference material for my games and stories. I might wait and see whats posted before i make any final decisions though I'm definently gonna be working hard.

    The whole point of Swamp Thing was that he wasn't Alec Holland and had to come to terms with that. It was then interesting to see how a sentient plant interacted with the rest of the cosmos, especially when juxtaposed with human morality. It just feels like DC is taking a dump on Vertigo's work. Again.

    Sounds cool. Just remember, you have a week.

    If I had the money. xD

    Hopefully we get some more entries this month. I admit I'm saddened to not see the return of certain folks as the contest months go on, but eh, that's the nature of the beast.

    It's cool.

    I just hope I won't have to throw last month's contest out because of lack of entries. Can't really show case the new trophies if we don't even have 3 entrants.

    I was terribly sick for half of October, so I kinda decided not to rush something out after getting better. I was pretty inspired by the theme, though, so I may finish my thing in time for the extended deadline =)

    We'll see.

    Well, we're about half-way into the contest now and I'm glad to see two entries, albeit unfinished, entered thus far. Hoping to see more entries before the final grain of sand falls.

    I want to apologize on how long it's taken to get the trophies finished. I've been all over the place on the other side of the screen, but I'm going to go work on them now.

    Alright, the trophies have been sent! I hope everyone enjoys the new format for them and, as we reach the points where the other trophies are handed out, I hope everyone will enjoy the new colors as well. I've also increased their overall size by 100 pixels and I think it makes them look clearer and nicer.

    Feedback is appreciated.

    So, we're here in the last week or so of the competition folks, but not a single complete entry.

    I hope we'll see at least three complete entries before this month closes out, but it'd be awesome to get more!

    So, I want to talk with all of you about the theme for January's contest.

    So far I have two concepts in mind:

    • Oaths and Resolutions: The contest's theme will revolve around making, sticking to and/or breaking pacts/oaths/resolutions/covenants/etc.
    • Out with the Old, In with the New: The contest will be base class only and revolve around creating a new, never before seen mechanic.



    Which of the two do you guys like?

    I'd be down with Oaths and Resolutions, personally. I've had an idea kicking around in my projects folder for a while that would fit nicely into that contest.

    Alright.

    If I extend November's contest until December 7th, can I get three promises for submitted entries?

    Because otherwise I'm going to have to label this month's contest a failure and just truck on to next month hoping for better turn out. I really don't want to do this, but it seems I have little other choice and it's just bad form that this contest needs to be extended every month because of lack of interest and/or lack of entries.
