Final 11 besides Eberron

[klofft]

In WotC's setting competition from several years back, have any of the other finalists been published? Obviously, I know about Eberron, and I also have FFG's Dawnforged. Are there others out there? Based on those two alone, I'd like to see others.

I had assumed that Midnight was one of the final eleven because it was so prominent at the time, but I could easily be wrong.

 

[Crothian]

No, Midnight was not from what I recall.

As I understand it, some of the other finalists ideas may have even been incorporated into Eberron. For instance, the design of the Areni elves was not in KB's original submission from what I remember. Did it come from one of the others? I'm not sure, but I think there was some mention that ideas filtered in.

Actually, if I remember correctly, DawnForge, the other campaign setting FFG came out with at about the same time, was one of the final 11.

There was at least one other such setting that got published - something that featured a prophecy and I remember reading about "clerics of themselves", but I don't remember the name.

I have one somewhere called "Morningstar" that claimed to be one of the finalists. Never really read it, though.

At least not the "undead ancestor worship" part wasn't there.

Supposedly it came from Rich "Order of the Stick" Burlew's setting submission (one of the three finalists).

Actually, either James Wyatt or Bill Slavicsek made the claim that the creepy Aereni elves in Eberron come from Rich Burlew's submission, but Keith Baker says that if that's true, it's only minor elements which were added, because the Aereni as published are pretty much the same as he submitted.

Dawnforge and Morningstar were finalists. Midnight was not, don't even think it was submitted.

I think a third was released as a concept for PbP.... can't remember its name, though.

I remember submitting an idea that I thought was soooooo unique and original. Only to discover afterwards that some 1,000 other people had the same bland, unoriginal idea that I had. At least Eberron didn't riff on my idea.
