ok guys, i’ve decided to start a contest to get myself back in the DC mode. this contest will be a little different than others i’ve seen.
the contest will have several rounds, in each round you will create one DC, votes will be taken on the cards, and the winner will receive 1gp. no one will be eliminated. the next round will begin. in each round you will build on the cards you have already created, and then in the final round, there will be a vote on all the cards you have made for the contest. the winner of the final round will receive 1gp from each contestant.
the contest will go something like this: the first round you will create a character, (it can be of any culture, race, stats, text, each card you make will be completely up to you.) the next round you will create a card that works with the character you made, (i’ll tell you either to make a hand-weapon, raged weapon, condition, event, or something, and you can make it however you want. but the key is to make it work with your character without being broken.) at the last round, all your cards will be judged as one group against the other contestants groups of cards.
this way, the contest should really prove who is the best DC maker in the contest, because, each card must be exceptionally good, and not overpowered. it also tests how well you can make cards working together.
(your character can be from the LOTR story, or someone you invent.)
(and cards need to be PM-ed to me during the contest.)
ok, here are what the rounds will be:
Round 1: Character (companion or minion)
Round 2: Hand-weapon
Round 3: Ranged-weapon or additional Hand-weapon (if you choose the additional hand weapon be sure to include "this possession may be borne in addition to one other hand weapon.")
Round 4: Armor
Round 5: Supporting Character (companion or minion depending on your first character)
Round 6: Follower
Round 7: Condition
Round 8: Possession (random)
Round 9: Helm or Shield or random possession
Round 10: Event
Then we will vote on the best group.
Basics: Anyone can join. anyone can vote on the cards. make your cards work together without being broken. entry fee: 1gp.

Sounds like fun, and I’ve got a character already in mind 
I’m almost certain no one else will do the same general type, either. Hard part’ll be balancing it, but I’ve got some thoughts on it.
