[FFG] Legendary Class Design Contest!

Re: IP vs open doors

Oy-
You also might want to consider the good it will do for your freelancing career to win such a contest, having your name in the book, and gaining some recognition on these forums.

Sadly, there is no publication attached to this contest.

Legendary Rights

FFG will not own the rights to your Legendary Class.

We think that Legendary Classes are really cool (probably my second favorite part of Path of the Sword) and we just want to encourage people to start thinking about what you could do with them and see what people come up with.

However, if you guys are interested in a future contest to have a Legendary Class published, that's something we could look into if there was a lot of interest. Path of Magic is already complete, but we have Path of Faith and Path of Shadow yet to do!

Let me know what you'd like to see.

Poop...

I am just bummed because I cannot enter the contest, what with me being a freelancer for FFG. That just would not be very cool.

Maybe I could use a fake name....hmm...<scratches chin>

Just kidding.

Oh well, at least we all still get to see what kind of legendary goodness is created. I love the open-call contests, they just really seem to instill a sense of coolness and community among gamers.

Good luck to all who enter.

Re: Legendary Rights

I think it is a fun concept, too. I saw the contest and thought it would be fun to enter, and a good exercise to try to create a LC. It turned out to be fun to write and really got me thinking about how such classes would work in my own campaign. Certainly, there is a great room for the occasional NPC to have the class, but I think a lot of players would find it fun--and the example you gave had some powerful abilities, but in the right campaign they would not be overpowering. I especially like the idea that they have to complete the 5 levels before multiclassing in something else.

I would definitely like to see a contest for publication... But we don't want to take jobs away from any freelancers. Maybe a contest for the upcoming books and the winner gets his LC in, rather than top three or something.

I am going to bump this.

Did anyone else already send in their LC idea? Did Morrus reply to your email?

Morrus, if you are listening, can you let us know if you acknowledge the receipt of entries?

That's what the subject-title rule is for - so that Outlook automatically filters them for me and so that I don't have to deal with each one indiviidually.

I'll work through them and post a list a couple of days before the contest closes, though, just in case any got missed.

That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks, Mr. Morrus!

Well, today's the deadline. I'll pass them along to FFG tomorrow, and let you know as soon as they let me know. Partly depends on how many more arrive today, I guess.

For those who were asking, here's the list of entries received so far. I'm listing the names indicated in the email headers here (i.e. I'm not actually opening up the entries to check names - I'm just opening the folder and reading down the list; if people's names appear multiple times it's because they either sent multiple entries or the same entry multiple times):

If your name's not there, you'd best send again because I haven't received it. Either that, or you didn't use the correct subject line and Outlook didn't sort it into the folder.

Rock on, thanks Morrus.

I don't know too much about Outlook, or other emailers for that matter, but is there a way to have it send automatic replies to certain subject headings? So we'd get an immediate email response, just saying the item was received?

Just wondering...

Thanks,
