This year’s RPG Superstar contest, titled “Elemental Storm,” presented by Roll For Combat, encourages participants to connect their monsters to twenty different “elements.” These elements range from traditional themes to more unconventional ones like music and space. It’s an opportunity to infuse your creations with unique ideas and explore diverse thematic connections.
Once the submission period concludes, the voting and judging phases will commence, adding an element of excitement to the contest. The evaluation process consists of two rounds. In the first round, the community at large has the opportunity to judge each monster based on various categories, narrowing down the selection to the top contenders. The public voting phase will last approximately six weeks, during which anyone can cast their votes for their favorite submissions. Public campaigning is also allowed, enabling participants to promote their creations and gather support.
Following the public voting phase, a panel of experienced industry professionals will engage in private judging. This group of seasoned judges, equipped with diverse skills and expertise, will thoroughly evaluate the top entries, considering factors such as quality, creativity, and alignment with the contest’s theme. The winners will be announced, prizes will be awarded, and the winning monsters will be published in the highly anticipated upcoming edition of Battlezoo Bestiary.
