The FtA! Random Chart Design Contest Commentary Thread

flyingmice · October 05, 2007, 10:32:00 AM

I think this would have been the toughest contest imaginable to judge. There were a LOT of top-notch entries!

Congrats to the winners! And let me know the details by PM. I'll be leaving early today for this weekend's camping trip, so be patient!

Now that it's over, does anyone have feedback/comments on the fantasy plot generator that I posted?

Congratulations to everyone who entered. They were all good (my personal favorite was probably the Random Sppoky Weapon Omens table by Fell).

Cool

(and congrats to all others, of course)

Feel free to reword my entries if it makes them better readable. I think especially the entries in the Eerie Room Phenomenom Chart are more clunkily phrased than a native speaker would have done.

Neato! Thanks for the contest, lets do it again some time!

I took your Excel sheet and copied the formulae to my own nefarious purposes, but intend to use YOUR stuff for some, uh, other nefarious purposes.

Yay!

WOO HOO!

There was some tough decisions made here, and the judges picked correctly, I think.

It's kinda funny that a good chunk of the charts are gonna make it in FTA!GN! anyway.

We have a lot of talent on these boards, and I'm glad everyone thought my goofy idea was cool.

Hey, congrats to the judges, too. It had to be tough to reach an agreement. Lots of good entries here.

I happy that the awesome of the pointy hat has met some love.
And I´d like to thank Mr. Duns Scotus, who made it all possible.

I thought it was very good - I wanted to use it in a couple of my projects, but I've sent you a personal message about that.

Guys, there's been some confusion about the prizes!

1 Grand Prize: $50 CASH (via check or paypal)

2 Second Prizes: Print copy of FtA! (or equivalent Flying Mice Game of choice)

5 Honorable Mentions: PDF copy of FtA! (or equivalent Flying Mice Game of choice)

That means Etar AND Jong get print copies of FtA! or equivalent, and the judges have to select 5 more who will get PDF copies of FtA! or equivalent.

I need Nicephoros to contact me with his contact info and whether he prefers cash or paypal.

I need Jong to contact me with his address and tell me if he want FtA! or something else.

Estar's is on the way.

When the judges pick the 5 honorable mentions, the winners need to contact me.

Waiting!
