Message: <blockquote data-quote="nexgen" data-source="post: 3920332" data-attributes="member: 33725">I noticed this forum a bit late, it seems.1) There's a bit too much "sour grapes" here. Not a single one of you judged that competition and that's probably because all three judges are personally responsible for certain products in the Paizo line, if not all of them. All 32 items are just fine both in terms of flavor and mechanics.2) Who cares whether a writer uses the Chicago/AP/European formats.  All the huff about writing styles was meaningless. Also, I really hope I don't have to hire another editor for all my forum posts. 3) Of course it was marketing, anonymous, and a good way to maximize exposure with minimal expended resources. I've found so much buzz about the project on the forums - none of which Paizo paid for (I hope <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) After losing the license to publish the magazines, I'm glad to see Paizo fighting the current to stay ahead of the competition.4) Most of the agitated comments seem to be coming from "professional" writers, which I find odd. If you're actually that upset about not making the top 32 and you feel like the competition failed to provide an ample opportunity to showcase your talents, write a module manuscript and submit it to Erik or Clark. I doubt they'll send your email straight to the junk box, especially if you have "professional" credits. Although both Erik and Clark can post here to the contrary.5) Let's just play the darn game and contribute to its perpetuity.</blockquote>
