Christine Schneider wins RPG Superstar
Thursday, February 21st, 2008It’s over!
From http://www.paizo.com/rpgsuperstar:
In early November Paizo challenged amateur game designers from around the world to show off their skills in a revolutionary online contest called RPG Superstar. From more than 850 submitted wondrous items, celebrity judges Erik Mona (Paizo’s Publisher), Wolfgang Baur (Editor-in-Chief, Kobold Quarterly), and Clark Peterson (President, Necromancer Games) narrowed the field to 32 would-be RPG Superstars, aand further rounds have narrowed that field in the intervening weeks.
The final round asked the four competing finalists to propose a 32-page GameMastery Module for ultimate publication by Paizo as the Grand Prize of RPG Superstar. Contestants Clinton Boomer (Macomb, IL), Rob McCreary (Prague, Czech Republic), Jason Nelson (Seattle, WA), and Christine Schneider (Neu-Isenburg, Germany) responded with four excellent proposals, each worthy of publication in its own way.
But there can be only one RPG Superstar, and in the end after the celebrity judges had a chance to offer comments and criticism and the general public had their final vote, one proposal stood out as the clear winner.
Congratulations to Christine Schneider for her victorious proposal, “Clash of the Kingslayers.”
Congratulations to Christine - and I really look forward to how her great ideas will shape Warlord 4E into the game “lots of D&D® players will really want to play (in addition to the great players we already have)” ;-).
Her work will be to expand the Accordlands setting in order to deliver fresh new vistas that the story team will then be able to explore through their stories, flavor texts and so on. In addition we will work on a “Quest system” that will expand the challenge system into something that more closely resembles the excitement of Dungeons & Dragons® adventuring.
