Hello all, I know I've been kind of silent here over the past week or so, but I'm doing a lot with Simple System and will be announcing the next batch of updates very soon.
For now, I wanted to throw out some ideas I have for community events and get your feedback. I'd like to run some competitions and create some awards for outstanding contributions to Simple System from members of the community, both my picks and the community's picks. Here are some of the categories I had in mind:
In the future I would like to post specific guidelines on what each category will be judged on (artwork, originality, presentation, balance, audio/video quality in the case of "let's play" videos, etc.), as well as submission cutoff dates. There would be awards, such as badges you could place on your products and use in your forum signatures, as well as actual trophies(!).
I would really like to hear your thoughts as well as any ideas you have for additional categories. Thanks for your feedback and looking forward to what you come up with!

- Best New Setting (complete with setting primer, setting cards, and 3 part starter adventure)
- Best New Accessory Pack (pack of 20 or more setting cards for use with any Simple System game, be it items, opponents, powers, skills, traits, or a mix)
- Best Adventure (awarded for the most entertaining/exciting adventure, either as part of a New Setting or a stand alone adventure outline)
- Best "Let's Play" Video (best recording of an actual game/play session, whether it be an online play session or played in person)
