In order. The Corps, the Archeologist, and the Portrait

For the theme, something Borrowed… I’ll try not to make a Gish for it…

It was tough because there was a lot of interesting works, but here are my preferences!


The Portrait Patron
The Defect
Way of the Spider


For the next contest I am undecided, I like most of the themes even if I don't know if I will have time to participate, so I leave the choice to you...

Got caught up in the holiday, so this is going to be called tomorrow instead. Voting is re-opened until the end of today.

And before I forget again, my votes:

1. The Defect. It captures the essence of the game so well, and Defect is my favorite character from StS also. You may have gotten an unfair advantage for those reasons.
2. The Monster Hunter. I guess I need to roll an Artificer because both of those classes looked appealing to me.
3. The Archaeologist. It was a close call between this and the Portrait for me.

Themes:

1. My Way is Different
2. Follow Me!

Hopefully the missing voters will see this extension in time. Good work everyone!

Okay, I am late again but I got it talled and accounted for.


Our third place entrant is Damon_Tor with the Corps Patron. Grab your power rings and focus your willpower, because you just found an alien lantern.

In second place, we have sengmeng with the Archaelogist. Why isn't this an official subclass again? It's iconic!

And our first place winner is Oerlaf with the Portrait Patron. Why bother with morality when all the consequences happen to someone else (even if that someone else is a version of you)?


Our theme votes showed Something Borrowed as a resounding favorite, with My Way is Different ekeing out a one-point lead for runner-up, meaning it carries forward yet again. RickAsWritten's new theme suggestions are being added to the pool (other than the seasons which is already in there as "This Season On").
