Pathfinder RPG publisher Paizo have announced the top 8 finalists for the 2015 RPG Superstar along with their winning monster designs. They are;
- Gabriel Almer — Gloomwasp
- Brian Fruzen — Geomaw
- Scott LaBarge — Coryphae
- Monica Marlowe — Narrick
- Ben Iglauer — Occularictus
- Kalervo Oikarinen — Dread Glutton
- R Pickard — Spiroskek
- Christopher Wasko — Deeplit
There are still two rounds left in the competition. It’s going to be tough. The next round is a Design and Encounter which includes a map design for within Nar-Voth (the subterranean realms of Golarion, Pathfinder’s campaign world). The encounter must be restricted to between 1,300 and 1,400 words, use the monster from the previous round and the map. I think this is tough because you can be a great game designer or GM but not much of a cartographer.
The deadline for Round FOur is February 20 and public voting ends on March 2nd. More information is up at Paizo.com/rpgsuperstar.
