Morrus · Dec 6, 2012

We're closing in on the end of EN World's song competition now, with the last of the four initial heats. Next week's fifth and final heat will be the final and will decide the overall winner of BATTLE OF THE BARDS! But before we get there, we need to decide which of this heat's excellent songs will join Mary Crowell's I PUT MY LOW STAT, Mississippi Bones' DUNGEON HUSTLE, and AJ's CLICHE RPG SONG in the final. So, below, you'll find the five song entries in Heat 4 - enjoy!

Unfortunately, if you centralize everyone I think you end up somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic.

Perhaps we could hire a submarine? That would be awesome!

More seriously, we're totally thinking about seeing if anyone's interested in doing something at GenCon.

Other than one from Australia and ours from Canada, most of the entries seem to be coming from the southern US. Maybe we all meet in New Orleans?

That would be loud! Can you imagine the echoes in there?

I'll be there (99% certainly) but I very much doubt my bandmates would be.

That said, I'd love to meet the rest of the contestants. Songwriting slam session in the RAM pub, anyone?
