[QUOTE="Stevenrs, post: 343602, member: 6849"] I like this idea, but if all you ask for is the same one page blurb WOTC asked for, it seems as though you're just going to get a blizzard of re-submitted ideas (after all, it's not like it's going to take anyone any real effort to resubmit what's already written) - and WOTC got 11 000 entries. If even 10% of people send them into you, that's a LOT of material to go through. I would suggest changing the game a little - ask for submissions to be in a new format, including a new length (maybe two pages, or 2000 words?), and a new template (rather than asking for a core ethos statement, who are the heroes, etc, ask for a sample settlement, a description of a typical tavern/restaurant, and a hierarchy for a temple - or something completely different, whatever). This will require people to put a little more effort into the contest than just resending what they've already written, and might cut down on the number of entries. [/QUOTE]
