The 2025 Pumpkin Spice RPG Contest - Results are In

[CleverNickName]

Just a quick heads-up, today is the last day to get your votes in! The polls will close in just a few hours, at midnight Pacific Standard Time.

And that's a wrap! The polls are now closed, and our winners are:

1st place: @Gradine, with "Autumn Bastion Facilities"
2nd place: @Snarf Zagyg, with "Smashing Pumpkin Spice: A Ten Candles Adventure for the Halloween Season"
3rd place: @Steampunkette, with "Arsenal of the Pumpkin King"
4th place: @CleverNickName (that's me!), with my "Rubiaceae, the Pumpkin Spice Dragon"
5th place: @Vael, with "Pumpkin Patch and Espresso-Fueled Pumpkin Head"

As our first-place winner, Gradine will get the first pick of the prizes. Once she has chosen her prize, the second-place winner (Snarf) will choose from the prizes remaining. Then the third-place winner, then the fourth, and so on, until all of the prizes have been claimed. I'll be reaching out to the winners individually via Direct Message to get the prizes into your inboxes.

I'd like to say thanks again to all of the contestants this year, who took the time to write some truly excellent RPG material for everyone to enjoy: @Whizbang Dustyboots, @Steampunkette, @Vael, @Snarf Zagyg, @RealAlHazred, @jmartkdr2, @Gradine, and @GMMichael.

And a special thanks to @Morrus, @DiceGrimorium, and @MongooseBella for donating prizes this year. That was very generous and kind...y'all rock.

Let me know where to send the prize!

I should have stuck with my OSE item. Ah, well. Call of Cthulhu isn't as popular as D&D on these boards, I guess.

Silver Medallist, Second Annual Pumpkin Spice Games
Silver Medallist, Third Annual Pumpkin Spice Games

As always, I want to thank my team, and point out that the only thing preventing me from a Gold was the judge from East Germany*, who is definitely a bard.


*The country might not exist any longer, but the judges still do.

Never a bridesmaid nor a bride. I'm more like the caterer.

But hey. I had a lot of fun, and that's really the reason I do this every year. I'll see you guys again next year!

 

[Vael]

You sorta like me, you ... kinda tolerate me!

Honestly, pleased with my first attempt, this was fun.
