It was worst for the NPC, I had to cut huge amounts of background and character notes since I was very keen on including the full 'easier to use' statblock. I noticed most people used abbreviated stat blocks. My choice not to was based on the fact that the NPC wasn't a 'standard' one, so I wanted all the stats to be easy for a DM to use.Ease of use was also my concern in trying to make sure that everything that wasn't my own invention came from the core 3 books. The thing that attracted me about the contest was the modular aspect, trying to make NPC and location independent while still working well together was quite hard. I'd have loved more space so I could have had NPC text separated into general stuff and encounter specific.I'm a little surprised at the way the voting has gone, and I'm firmly with the idea that not following the submission guidelines should have meant rejection, at least without explicit permission otherwise. Of course, this would have meant a lot of work for Morrus or some other judge... I'd probably have posted the disqualified entries, just not allowed them to compete for the prizes.Are there any plans to have a feedback/comments section, other than here on the boards? I'd love to hear why people voted for what.Meantime, I'll wait and see if a last minute rush can improve my somewhat dismal standing... and enjoy reading some very well crafted encounters.</blockquote>
