  • I'll also respond to your comments, Nick, but want to wait until after the final round...
  • Note for readers: I added links to the contestants' work in previous rounds in each of the pitches.

  • Hi Nicholas; congrats on getting to the final round of DesignFinder. I'm excited to check out your adventure pitch and see what we think. The Title: This is the only adventure that doesn't feature some alliteration, but -- despite that …
  • Hi Joe; congrats on getting to the final round of DesignFinder. I'm excited to check out your adventure pitch and see what we think. The Title: I think this works, giving enough hints to the arachnid nature of the various plot elements …
  • Hi Matt; congrats on getting to the final round of DesignFinder. I'm excited to check out your adventure pitch and see what we think. The Title: Apostasy is a great gaming word that gives us the sense this adventure will likely have som…
  • Hi Nathan; congrats on getting to the final round of DesignFinder. I'm excited to check out your adventure pitch and see what we think. The Title: The juxtaposition of woe and weal makes sense, and it's got a strong focus on a location,…
  • So I just got permission to post this, which is the pitch for my first (and still only so far) module. It was only 400 words, so obviously isn't going to have as many details as the DesignFinder pitches will have, but hopefully can give you more ide…
  • There is apparently a spoiler tag built into the forum software. You can use spoilers code with your turnover: [spoiler]text[/spoiler (Obviously you'll need to close that last bracket.)
  • Correct; you do not need to use your Round 2 location as the basis for your adventure pitch (though you still can if you want to). -- We're discussing spoiler tags to see if that's possible.
  • I'd suggest looking at the adventure pitches from each round of Superstar to get some ideas of what we're looking for; I would also recommend reading at least the judges comments. 2016: http://paizo.com/community/forums/paizo/archive/rpgsupers…
  • Would love to hear everyone's answers.
  • jataka said: Kettle of Poured Jewels Ron largely hit the problem with this item. I also thought what happens if there's some other gem? You got a lot in for your word count with that table, but there's so many jewels. A GM could…
  • sportszahn said: Earring of Obscuring Mist This allows the wearer an easy or quick escape.  Mike got most of the critiques for this, but I wanted to focus on this one line as something that should be avoided -- similar to "favored by…
  • Let me add in that I at least found it really difficult to give my final recommendations to advance or not. It really was splitting hairs in a lot of cases, I think. We've got only two of the eight that had unanimous recommendations (one to advance,…
  • First of all, Jeffrey, congratulations on getting to Round 3. Ron and Mike have already offered some fantastic feedback, so I'm going to try not to duplicate what they've said. I love the idea of complex villains, who have their villainy…
  • First of all, Nathan, congratulations on getting to Round 3. Ron and Mike have already offered some fantastic feedback, so I'm going to try not to duplicate what they've said. Elgrim is a bit of a mixed bag, including in the writing. You…
  • First of all, Chris, congratulations on getting to Round 3. Ron and Mike have already offered some fantastic feedback, so I'm going to try not to duplicate what they've said. I have to admit when I first saw the villain name, I was a lit…
  • First of all, Rudy, congratulations on getting to Round 3. Ron and Mike have already offered some fantastic feedback, so I'm going to try not to duplicate what they've said. A wereshark is a fun idea for a villain -- lycanthropes I think…
  • First of all, Nicholas, congratulations on getting to Round 3. Ron and Mike have already offered some fantastic feedback, so I'm going to try not to duplicate what they've said. Arachnophobia's a real thing for a lot of folks -- look at …
  • First of all, Chris, congratulations on getting to Round 3. Ron and Mike have already offered some fantastic feedback, so I'm going to try not to duplicate what they've said. Most of my favorite villains are more complex, characters that…
  • First of all, Joe, congratulations on getting to Round 3. Ron and Mike have already offered some fantastic feedback, so I'm going to try not to duplicate what they've said. Driders are a classic fantasy roleplaying villain and make a lot…
  • First of all, Matt, congratulations on getting to Round 3. Ron and Mike have already offered some fantastic feedback, so I'm going to try not to duplicate what they've said. You introduce what sort of seems like a mad scientist in Alamal…
  • I have no idea what's going on with this stat array. If we start with the base NPC heroic array, I assigned the scores basically in order of highest scores in the final block: Str 15 Con 14 Dex 13 Wis 12 Cha 10 Int 8 Then we sub in the better score…
  • Paizo's Compatibility License (http://paizo.com/pathfinder/rpg/compatibility) says, "You may not use page numbers, as they may change in licensed translations and in subsequent printings." So only they get to use page  numbers.
  • I certainly hope so!
  • Ah, yes, stepping backward is certainly more reasonable if it's only the wearer's turn, though at higher levels even that I think could get a bit confusing. I hate when I inadvertently use the wrong it's/its or your/you're, but it happens some…
  • Mask of Greater Standing: First of all, I'm thrilled that this has inspired you to make more items (and hopefully eventually other designs!). That's the point of the contest! This was a somewhat odd item, because there aren't any rules for caste…
