You have but twelve hours to get your entry in!

For the love of Pelor, learn to disengage. If you stop responding to the troll, it will starve for attention and go away. Seriously, stop trying to one-up them. Stop trying to "win" something. Dont click anything, just roll your eyes and scroll past.

This is it, the last day! You have until midnight to get your entry posted.

Yep, that's true also. Now...I'm not saying I would prefer it this way, just that it would accomplish the desired result.

Damage resistance/immunities that can't be easily bypassed with magic. If skeletons took less damage from piercing weapons and more damage from bludgeoning ones, regardless of whether those weapons were magical or not, folks would start carrying around maces and clubs again. Ditto for...

As a GM, the world-building is my favorite part. Crafting the world, drawing the maps, curating the list of monsters, dreaming up the mythology and origin story of the world... As a player, writing my character's story is my favorite part. I start with a good, flexible backstory and then...

That's the kind of energy I'm trying to bring to this contest. Well, besides the obvious.

Thanks @jmartkdr2, I've got your entry on the roster!

Oh man, this is where Roll20 really shines as a player. My greatsword breaks and I grab the mace off the floor? No problem...I just type "mace" into the Compendium, then drag it over to my character sheet and drop it. That's all it takes...Roll20 automatically creates a macro for the Mace in...

Several years ago, when 5E was brand-new, I created a new magic item. It was a longsword whose blade had been forged from strange blue glass...it functioned in combat like a longsword +2, and on a nat-20 it would deal critical damage plus some extra force damage. However, on a nat-1, it also...

And that's pretty much the vibe in certain places on Reddit. Me: "Just let people enjoy things, sheesh." Reddit: "Well they shouldn't enjoy it!" Reddit: "But too many people enjoy it!" Reddit: "But the wrong people enjoy it!" Reddit: "I don't want people to enjoy it!" Etc. There's a...

Oh, Reddit. You sure love your hyperbole. Look. If a game is consistently outselling all other games... ...and if more people consistently play it, more often than all other games... ...and if the game has been around so long that its name has become synonymous with the entire hobby...

Travel is such a pain...it took all day yesterday, but I'm finally back in Portland. We are in the final 48 hours! You have until midnight Wednesday morning (or Thursday night, if your brain works like mine), Pacific Standard Time, to post your entry for this year's contest.

Saying it again for the people in the back.

@RealAlHazred I like them both...but until you delete it, your first entry is the one that will be entered into the contest. And time is running out! Contestants only have 60 hours left to get their entries in!

I think that all pledge levels come with a copy of the Core Rules, either in PDF or hardcopy format (sometimes both). https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/monte-cook-games/cypher-system-faster-easier-and-even-better/pledge_levels#top

Just a quick note: when I put the poll together in a few days, the options will be listed in the order they were posted. And in the event of a tie, the entry that was posted first will win...so there is a slight advantage to posting your entry sooner rather than later.
