i absolutely adored Oil, ira. That one really spoke to me.

Thanks! There are a few edits I’d make with more time but I wanted all the ruinous dice haha

Realised I actually forgot to say what incursion I wrote when I posted in here previously - I wrote The House in the Forest. Really looking forward to reading through more of the incursions!

Thanks! I was lucky enough to get to run it three times and it was successful enough that I had a player sign up to go through it twice! Thanks for your kind words on Twitter.

Thanks for doing this. Did you review all of the entries in the Twitter thread? Because there are several that I can’t seem to find any comments on. (All of them after The Plantation in the alphabetical list, Penumbra, and maybe another one or two I’m forgetting.)

I’m still working on the thread (about 10 more to go). I skipped Penumbra and The Pried Eye since they weren’t public, but if you’re cool with it, I’ll add them in.

Ah, I assumed the tweets were your real-time progress. Yes please; always up for feedback!

jasoncordova · November 1, 2019, 5:46pm

It was real-time-ish. I was about 5 or 6 ahead of my tweeting. Took a break to get the contest actually judged, haha

Also: now that the contest judging is finished, we’re having LOADS of discussion on the Trophy channel of my Discord server: https://discord.gg/yJVdY6K

Join us!

Glad to see you liked A Prestigious Affair. I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds parties creepy. I realized too late that it was more than just a modern horror story: I was writing satire. With some time and motivation, I might revise it again to bring out the satirical elements further.

In case you hadn’t heard, the results of the contest have been revealed!

Congrats to the runners-up and winner!

For folks paying attention to this space, Trophy is now on Kickstarter! Some of the entries from this contest are going to be published as part of the canonical Trophy world (with authors’ permission, of course).
