The 2025 Pumpkin Spice RPG Contest - FINAL WEEK!

[Cadence]

I may enter the contest this year. I had a bad experience with a different competition a little while ago, and I'm still a little sore, so ... we'll see.

But I promise that I will continue to bring the same level of love for Pumpkin Spice that I bring for your garden variety Bard in the comments!

THE SPICE MUST FLOW!

This got me trying to think of the most verbose entry I can imagine.

And so I typed in what I think it might be... But then I thought that might be fun. And then I thought, that can't win, is there even enough time. And then I thought why not try?

And now I'm desperately trying to get my work done before I fall into that pit...

Sorry for the long stint of silence, folks--my workload has been growing like (obtuse, strained metaphor involving a pumpkin patch).

My entry is coming along nicely, but it's not quite ready to post yet. But in the meantime, I wanted to let you know that there is another prize available for the lucky contestants: our very own @DiceGrimorium has donated "a 3-map series featuring lots of pumpkins. It includes all the Patreon rewards of the aforementioned maps (prop variants, alternate color palettes, tokens, PDFs and PSD files)." Here's a link to the Patron page. Thank you so much, DiceG!

I'll post some more information about this prize as soon as I make it to my next job site, and get it added to the front page's list of prizes. (I'm being deployed out-of-state to help fix a damaged riverbank. Sadly, it has nothing to do with pumpkins.) Until then, stay spicy!

@CleverNickName We (Mongoose) would also like to donate the entirety of the Shield Maidens collection as a prize if you're still accepting them!

I dont have a cool graphic (@Morrus that looks awesome), but it's 4 books, dice, cd and screen

Oh heck yeah! Thanks, Mongoose! I'll get it added to the front page as soon as I get out of the field and back to my hotel.

My entry is almost ready, too. I hope it's worthy of the great prizes this year!

Eh, it's not going to be soon, but I will do an entry this year. Have to take care of some RL stuff and meditate to release a little anger over sumpin' sumpin', but ....

Alright, I couldn't take it anymore--the typos were bugging me too much so I edited my legendary dragon. This, of course, disqualifies my post with an "Edited" watermark, so I deleted it and re-posted the corrected version over here.

Before @Morrus' and @MongooseBella's kind donations, I was going to suggest one of the many excellent pumpkin dice sets off Etsy. (Seriously, it's a weirdly popular product there.)

Pondering what my submission might be.

So my entry is the first one, but I hope it won't be the only one for long. Remember: this contest is for any EN World member. All you need to play is an EN World account and a spark of inspiration.

For my offering this year, I give you Starbuck, the Pumpkin Spice Dragon!

1) It's great!
2) I haven't really thought about eating dragons until I saw this gal. You might single-handedly accelerate their fate to that of the mammoth by making them smell delicious.

Just a heads--up, the deadline is only 11 days away! Don't wait too long to get your entry posted to this thread.

We've got only one entry at the moment but 5 prizes to win... I'm just sayin', the odds of getting a prize look pretty good at the moment.
