RPG: Paizo Brings Back The RPG Superstar Contest
After a five year hiatus, Paizo’s contest RPG Superstar is back, and this time it’s being hosted by the Pathfinder podcast: Roll for Combat.
For years, Paizo ran an RPG design contest called the RPG Superstar that was basically a reality show competition but with challenges like making new magic items and monsters instead of figuring out how to bake a cake that looks like an incredibly lifelike Winston Churchill which is the inevitable high stakes finale to the Great British Bakeoff. Oh GBB, you heartwarming island in a sea of people who just aren’t here to make friends.
The last time we’d seen the RPG Superstar was back in 2015, when the internet was a vastly different place. You knew you were being spied on, but at least you didn’t have to click ‘accept’ every time it happened. Now it’s back, no longer being run by Paizo, but by Roll for Combat, the popular actual-play podcast that’s focused on -finders, both Star and Path. Here’s the official announcement.
