Re: Question of the Day!

Now, does this mean that they are only notifying those that they selected, or everyone that entered?

I think it's unreasonable to expect them to notify all entrants. They've had more than enough to do already without having to key in 10,000+ contacts just so they can do a mass mailing of "we regret blah blah." I imagine that when they've sent out notification to the second rounders, they'll make an announcement on their website and maybe on various boards.

And if they asked those that were selected not to say anything...

WotC has already said that they don't mind if any given second rounder decides to declare him- or herself. They won't be announcing the names themselves, but they will confirm or deny on request.

That means the heroes are larger-than-life adventurers, not farmers trying to repeatedly save their harvest from dire gophers.

I'm glad I didn't send that one in then.

Another end-of-August bump.

Re: But if you think about it....

Just my two cents (or is it a haypenny?)

actually, that would be four haypennies, or one BUMP.

Its the bloody 26th! Still no anouncements?

And now Anthony (Zulkir) is officially on vacation, non? Who will tell us that we lost? I want to know that I lost, right now!

Heh. *BUMP*

Possibly they're currently working on notifying those chosen to go on to the second round, having completed chosing those worlds last week. When they have communicated successfully with each choice, they'll then announce/email out the close-of-decisions. Anthony doesn't have to be here to talk personally to each choice, or post something on the website saying, "Game over," does he?

One question is whether or not any D&D setting has ever not been post appocalyptic, and whether or not ANYONE submitted an ideal for a setting that didn't include some appocalyptic elements?

the setting i submitted does not have any kind of apocalypse mentioned, FWIW.

though i agree it is a rather common idea in fantasy worlds, at least for explaining where all the dungeons came from!

Yours was the 2-pager, right? Well then... you lost.

 

[CRG]

None of my submissions followed an apocalypse. All 327 of them...

I would wager, however, that EVERY setting dealt with some sort of event or change in motion that had ramifcations upon the world as a whole. I'll even go out on a limb and say that such a large change was described to be happening "now", just occurred or be on the horizon.

Nothing like being specific.
