Post of the Year (2017) Winner!

[Admin Dirk]

For the judges the Post of the Month and Post of the Year contests, the end of one year and the beginning of another means we're faced with the fiendishly difficult but immensely enjoyable task of deciding which one stood out above all the others, of choosing which single post represented the best work done on the site for all of 2017.

That's darn near impossible, of course. Selecting the best from the best is never easy, but finally a consensus was reached.


Please join the judges in congratulating our Post of the Year winner for 2017 - Eleven Sided Die!

You can read Eleven's winning post here.



In the post, Eleven wrote of his of his PC Ameya. Ameya is young girl with a traumatic past making a living as a harrow card reader in the slums of Korvosa. Eleven Sided Die took a chance, and did an actual card reading prior to writing and used that as a basis for this post.

Read along, and see how Eleven Sided Die managed not only to make something as trivial as flipping cards on a carpet into an interesting read, but turned it into a bit of insight into who Ameya is and what drives her.




Many thanks to everyone who took the time to nominate posts for this year, and of course thanks to everyone who wrote those wonderful posts. We're accepting entries now for the January Post of the Month contest, so if you want to be in the running for the 2018 Post of the Year award, get your nominations in now.
