We now have the judges for the Three Castles RPG Design Award 2013

Erol Otus

Pete Kerestan

Robert Kuntz

Rick Loomis

Steve Winter

Entries for the Three Castles RPG Design award are only accepted until 12/31/12

We have 6 entries so far, far below the 10 we have received in previous years. And we'd like to see more each year.

So if you know of someone that has written a RPG game, supplement, adventure etc, please tell them to get their entries mailed in so the Steering Committee can review them in January.

All the entries for the award were received by 12/31/12

We have shipped the entries to the Steering Committee members (still waiting on one address). So the Committee members will be reviewing the entries over the next 6 weeks. (end of Feb)

which reminds me I need to update the guidelines to reflect the time line better.

We have some good entries this year, but only one adventure module was submitted. In the past we'd had modules, supplements and complete RPGs... seems this year, it's mostly RPGs

I am hoping to get the Steering Committee recommendations back by Fed 15th, but if they need until Feb 28, I am okay with that... that's the timeline info I may need to update in the outline.

Also, I was incorrect, there are 2 module in the bunch not one.

All entries from the five finalists were shipped to the judges today.

Judges have until May 1st to review the entries.

The winner will be announced at the Con on Sat around 1800

Many of the designers will be in attendance at the Con this year:

Jeffery Talanian - Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcers of Hyperborea
Greg Gillespie - Barrowmaze
Jeff Dee - Cavemaster RPG

Tavis Allison will be there for Adventurer Conqueror King System, though Alexander Macris is credited as the designer.

Harley Stroh will be there for DCC RPG, though Joseph Goodman is credited as the designer.
