Special thanks to Alex Schroeder for organizing the contest again this year; to Adrian Shieh, Shane Mangus, Clay Wendt, Ken Carcas, Angie Littmann, and Jeffrey Runokivi for helping him with the judging; and to all the companies who sponsored the event. This is one of my favorite RPG blogging community collaborations - so thanks for making it happen! :)
What I really like about the 1PDC is that it lets people share things that are "polished" but not really concerned about whether or not it's commercially viable. This is great for testing out new formats, ideas, and mash-ups and seeing how they're received. I wouldn't have published my Weird West RPG if it hadn't been for all the great feedback I received on Citadel of Evil (which also uses the PocketMod format). Thanks to everyone who's checked out both, and sent in their feedback - I really appreciate it!
