[OOC] The Stands

[Wynamoinen]

The world holds its breath as the Heroes converge towards the Labyrinth. The audience waits with bated breath.

Here you may chat OOC about the competition. Please do not give away any spoilers about the action within the game!

[Imveros]

Whoah boy, here we go again!

Not sure how I'm going to top last year's Ander the Breakdancing Barbarian, but I'll figure something out!

[oztk]

I'm psyched, but also unsure if a year off was enough time to recover from 2017.

Who am I kidding, it wasn't, but there's no way I'm sitting out another year.

[MoonZar]

Hi everybody!

I'm honoured to be a judge for the third year in a row, enjoy the party!

Best,

[Begon Ugo]

Never done this....but looks to be a real hootenanny!

[RainyDayNinja]

I feel honored that my performance last year apparently inspired a new rule for this year!

Although, based on my experience last time, I hopefully have a better feel for what the judges are looking for, and I'll actually earn some points for role-play.

[GleefulNihilism]

Well, well, well - back again.

I apologize beforehand for all the posting I'm going to be doing over this contest and my history with it.

[The short version of said history is that I won the prototype contest that would become Outplay, but have never won an actual Outplay. Epic Rage Against the Heavens Ensues.]

No, this is a hoedown.

<Squeak pushes Begon's shoulder angrily>



For the record, the announcement is wrong. I cannot win the gold, because I'm a judge. So I am a kingmaker rather than the king.
Bribes are welcome, preferably in Bitcoin.

[ParzivalFair]

A banner called me out by name, so by the laws of the internet, I now have to participate! Hopefully I do better than last year.

[WhovianBeast]

I'd love to try my hand as a newcomer to the competition, but my planned computer-free vacation exactly conflicts with one of the early rounds

Maybe next year!

[Antipode]

Well, this seems like an irresistible temptation.

I do like how summoner is de facto banned on the Pathfinder side; the book it's in is one of the source options, but since you can't have an eidolon...

[DAquilina]

Woo, Outplay! Looking forward to a good competition, everyone!

[Unko Talok]

Man, I would love to take another shot at this (and actually design a character meant to win), but there's just no way I'll have the time over the next several weeks. Best of luck to all the participants! I'll be keeping my eyes open for IronDM, though.

[GleefulNihilism]

It's actually shockingly tempting to literally bring in my character from last year's competition, completely canon that it's the same character and he remembers the events of last year.

Unfortunately last year's characters were level 10 and this year's are level 8. Not sure how that's going to work.

[Scimmy]

Sad to see even more restrictions on books, and the limit on extra creatures is good, though forbidding the eidolon but allowing the animal companion and familiar is kinda harsh. Just forbid the summoner instead.
