Win Plane Below, and the Savage Encounter Line

[keterys]

It's usually due to legal restrictions - different countries have different rules on contest participation, and at a certain point the effort, expense, and/or impossibility just narrows it down to a certain set of countries that have the greatest bang for your buck.

Damn I had Whelm half designed.

Me too. I figured everyone else was gonna pick Blackrazor, so Whelm was the place to be...

 

[Jaysue]

I was just going to send in the whelm stats from open grave and if i didn't win...can they truly admit there own whelm isn't the best?

Too bad it got pulled, like all of my evil plans it's over before its begun!

I really hate this kind of thing. D&D is about as international a hobby as you can get and yet they restrict a competition for it to the US.

Massive fail.

Might be related to the same policy or whatever that had them fire all WizOs who lived outside of the USA back when Gleemax appeared.

I'll be curious to see what wins. Black Razor is one of my favorite... homages to Stormbringer.

I like this part...

Blackrazor (and you, the DM) may very well keep this little drawback a secret until the first time the sword bites into a wight or a vampire.

.... regarding the... erm... cursed part of the weapon.

How would one translate that little tidbit into a 4e weapon?

You mean how to keep it secret? Because the mechanics should be relatively easy - grant temp HP and an attack bonus (until end of the encounter) when you kill a living creature, drain a surge and heal the target back up some and give it a hit bonus when you kill an undead.

Agreed but then again it gives me a reason not to be sad if I didn't join the competition anyway.

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Oh, and you have to be a resident of the US or Canada to participate. Pity.

Color me disappointed...

 

[vagabundo]

Crap I never noticed the country restriction. That's me out.
