Ooops! I somehow managed to completely not realise that RPG Superstar 2012 started earlier this week. RPG Superstar is Paizo Publishing's annual competition, and is a search for RPG design talent in the same sort of way (but cooler than) The X Factor or American Idol.RPG Superstar consists of five RPG design challenges spanning several weeks. After a team of celebrity judges winnows down all open call submissions to 32 finalists, members of the paizo.com messageboard community post their comments and vote on following round submissions until only four finalists remain.
This year’s ultimate winner will write a Pathfinder Module to be published by Paizo. Three runners-up will win assignments to write Pathfinder Society Scenarios, meaning all finalists will be offered professional writing contracts with Paizo Publishing, and an opportunity to begin their freelance careers with high-profile RPG releases!
