An open call called Valhalla Calling, accompanied by Hendrich’s “The Ride of the Valkyrs” painting and a clip from Die Walküre? My mother and aunt spent more money chasing performances of The Ring of the Nibelung around the world than my college education cost.

How can I not enter?

I believe you are allowed to use anything in the Pathfinder Reference Document, which includes much of the Core Rulebook, plus APG, Ultimate Series, Bestiaries, and more. I don't see the Golarion gods in that document, though.

If we choose to set it for the Pathfinder system, are we allowed to reference the deities presented in the Core Rule book?

It is listed in the contest as a 32-page adventure, so the winner will write the adventure in roughly 20,000 words.

Word rate depends on the quality of the winning entry but is comparable to the magazine word rates. So a $200 minimum, and likely higher. Less for a Dragon Age pitch (sorry guys, but that market is smaller).

I don’t see anywhere how many words total and how much per word is paid?
thanks

Happy to announce that we now have more than 10 entries for the contest after 4 days!

At this rate (~2 per day), we’ll reach 80 submissions by December 20.

Good question, and yes, there will be announcements here and/or on the Kobold Press FaceBook page about it, if and when we hit that number of entries.

Also, it’s fine if you reference something from the Mythic Adventures Playtest doc. Seems like it might be an interesting angle.

WIll we be warned when you reach 50 and 75 entries?
