I was absolutely honored to have my entry (The Giant’s Many Pallbearers) selected as a finalist. The contest gave me the initiative to get going on an idea I’d had for a while, so thanks for putting it on–and congrats to the winners!

What a great way to end the Con (which –
in case nobody has mentioned it before – was absolutely incredible). Congrats to Michael G. Barford and: Yay me!

Stephen Humphreys and Michael G. Barford are my sisters in arms from the awesome The Watch game. Let’s do a group hug again (Yoshi Creelman, Tomer Gurantz and Michael X. Heiligenstein) 😀

As they say, it was an honor just to be nominated. 🙂 I was surprised and delighted to see my entry, The Blue Masquerade, as one of the finalists. I knew it could definitely use more attention and polish — oh, the changes I wished I could make three hours after the deadline had passed! — and it looks like, in the end, the judges agreed. 😉 It was exciting to do my first RPG writing for public consumption; can’t wait to do more. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. You guys rule.
And to the winners, congratulations! Your triumph is well-deserved. You guys also rule!
Everybody rules! 😀

Congrats Horst Wurst! All of the entries were very good and inspiring.
EDIT: Neglected to congratulate Michael G. Barford when I first posted because I misread the announcement. Michael, I really loved everything about your entry.

My personal favorite from the competition was Croatoa. I recommend everyone take a look at that one. It’s a really intense horror OSR thing. I can’t wait to run it!

Those finalists were great! I’ve been especially intrigued all weekend by the one that spoke of the red gate.
Can’t wait to read the rest of them
