RPG Superstar 2009 - Final Round Voting Ends Today

Paizo's search for the next superstar game designer winds down with the end of voting for the final round. Voting ends today (5 p.m. Eastern) on the final four designer's adventure proposals. The winning adventure will be published as a Pathfinder Module for the new Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Paizo's new take on version 3.5 of the world's most popular roleplaying game.

Eric Bailey of Wakefield, Massachusetts presents the Last Ride of the Mammoth Lords:
Presenting a challenge that is perhaps overly ambitious for a 32 page module, Eric lays out an adventure based on the idea of a strange illness that is turning the barbarians of the region into plants. With trolls dinosaurs and roc riding, this adventure has some interesting twists, but it looks to me like the stat blocks are going to take up so much of the adventure that there will be no room for story.

Matthew Stinson of Jacksonville, Florida presents Denying the Boiling Beast:
Ok, the Boiling Sisterhood sounds interesting and a hurricane in Magnimar makes for an interesting hook... but this adventure just felt a little off to me.

Kevin Carter of Aliso Viejo, California presents Dragonrest Isle:
Ok, I like adventures on tropical islands... well any islands actually, because of two things: I can plug them in almost anywhere and I love water adventures. So I was a little biased towards this adventure. But some of the mechanics just don't work... the 4 red dragons, even if they are juveniles, are a massive challenge for PCs of this level. Also, this one really felt like it lacked the Pathfinder feel. The title doesn't convey adventure, which is also a problem

Neil Spicer of Waxhaw, North Carolina presents Realm of the Fellnight Queen:
I confess, I like gnomes and fey in general, and the use of them here makes me want to like this adventure a lot. I confess, it strays into some Pathfinder specifics that I myself am not as well-versed in... which is good for the Pathfinder ties, and bad because I can't really tell at a glance whether the tie-in is well done or not. It could be world breaking and I'm not sure I could tell. That said, some strong role-play elements here will fly in the face of how a lot of players PLAY, and I'm not sure that's a good thing.

All in all some pretty interesting stuff. Which one will win? Go influence the outcome - VOTE!
