Semifinalists

Hello!

I keep a list of the semi-finalists on one of my computers for occassions such as this:

Winner: Eberron – Keith Baker

Finalist: Undisclosed title – Rich Burlew
Finalist: Undisclosed title – Nathan Toomey

Semi-finalist: Dawnforge – Fantasy Flight Games (unknown author)
Semi-finalist: Morningstar – Ronald Scott Kennan
Semi-finalist: unknown (I thought Urbis made it there, but it seems not)
Semi-finalist: Code of Unaris (The Sunset Kingdoms/Alfar Tower) - Gary Pratt
Semi-finalist: Cappedocio – Alexandre Gélinas and two other unnamed authors
Semi-finalist: Reign of Ashes – unknown author, alias is MissHappen at EN World
Semi-finalist: unknown
Semi-finalist: unknown

Midnight was not entered into the setting contest.

If anyone have any more info on this, please share. i find it curious that three are still unknown.

Ah, Code of Unaris was the one.

Urbis was not a semifinalist

I'm very curious as to where you have the information on Cappedocio and Reign of Ashes - I've never heard of those??

Edit: Found out about Cappedocio - though I have only found one of the authors' claim that it was a semifinalist.


Edit II: Found out about Reign of Ashes - though I have only found one of the authors' claim that it was a semifinalist.

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.

Which one? Golden age of antiquity or small region that suddenly has access to a much larger "new world" via magic or some sort? Those are the two I saw the most in reading through all the proposals I could find online.

It wasn't? My mistake, sorry.

Interesting. By coincidence I shared a limo with Gary Pratt departing Gen Con 2005. (I think.) Code of Unaris had evolved into an online deal, the first chat room RPG I think. Won some awards. Don't hear much about it now.

uuuh... are the proposal still available somewhere?
i think i recall there was a repository, but i can't find it.

it would be really nice to do such a thing online: opening a thread in which whoever can post their own "1 page worth" setting, and having another thread for discussion. it would make for tons of great ideas to incorporate in a new campaign... and given that 4e is on the horizon, what better time to do it?

can someone at least point me at an original 1 page entry?

LOL

I know the feeling only much of Eberron was in my homebrew. The main difference was the dragonmarks and the tool of 100 year war which really MAKES Eberron what Eberron is.

There is the d20zine 2002 special which lists a whole bunch of the settings submitted in the six question format (core statement, who are the heroes? etc). It is available for free download. I think on DRTRPG. I found it while looking for stuff in the freebie section. Sorry, got no link.
