Post of the Month Winner Announced!
Welcome to the last PotM announcement for 2011. It's been a great year for our little contest, and each of us judges has been awed, inspired and sometimes jealous each and every month working on this since we began last February. Currently, we're poring over the winners of each month, trying to decide which of them will receive the inaugural Post of the Year award. Keep an eye out for an announcement within the week. With no further delay: the Post of the Month winner for December 2011 is ... Benoni! You can read Benoni's winning entry here. Please congratulate him for his exemplary work. "OK, so you're all sitting in a tavern." It's an old joke among gamers about lazy DMing in starting a campaign. True, none of us do that anymore, but actually beginning a campaign can be a daunting task. You must set the tone, offer hints of what's to come and draw in your players' interest. With this post, Benoni has set the bar ridiculously high. Briskly written with a keen sense of evocative language, it features two disparate tales that nonetheless seem connected - though precisely how eludes us. Hints of what may come are woven throughout, but we can't follow the threads. Not yet. However much we want to. The other nominations for December 2011 can be read here. Each is an exceptional entry and well worth the read. Nominations for the Post of the Month contest for January 2012 will be accepted beginning February 1. Remember, a new year wipes the slate clean. Everyone who won during 2011 is once again eligible for the contest.
