| RPG Superstar™ Will Find the Next Great RPG DesignerCompetition starts October 31, 2007 on
paizo.comPaizo Publishing, LLC® is proud to announce a new RPG design contest: RPG
Superstar. Starting at the end of October, paizo.com will host the first
adventure game industry design contest voted on by the fans, aimed at finding
the newest talent in RPG design. "With the end of the print editions of Dragon and Dungeon
magazines, Paizo has lost a conduit to find new designers," said Lisa Stevens,
CEO of Paizo Publishing, "We're launching a RPG design contest to give unknown
talent a chance to get noticed!" Starting at noon Pacific Time on October 31, 2007, any eligible person will
be able to submit an entry into the contest. For the open call, that entry will
be a wondrous item using the 3.5 SRD. Each entry needs to be 200 words or less,
and must include all of the proper mechanics and flavor. Judges will announce
the top 32 entries on November 28; those contestants will advance to the first
round of public voting, where they will be assigned a new design task and their
entries will be posted on paizo.com for the public to read, critique, and vote
on. The designers garnering the most votes will continue to subsequent rounds,
and the ultimate winner will earn a paid commission to write one of Paizo's
upcoming GameMastery Modules! Paizo has gathered together three judges to oversee the competition. Paizo's
Publisher, Erik Mona, will share the spotlight with fan-favorite author andKobold Quarterly publisher Wolfgang Baur, and Necromancer Games co-owner
Clark Peterson. Each round, these judges will critique the entries before the
public vote. The fans themselves will decide which talented designers go on to the next
round by casting a vote on paizo.com for their favorite contestant. Each round
includes a six-day window for fans to discuss the entries and cast their
votes. | Round | Round Begins | Submissions Due | Fan Voting

| Awesome. Let me ask this. I know a lot of the non-winners in the reality shows end up getting some sort of contract or whatnot. Did you get contacted by any other game company, or anything like that? Any pickup in freelance work?
