I hope you are not serious on that one lol  As a judge that is illegal. Also that would only be because you used a Succubus on your Warlock when you played WoW.

I guess I'll enter 
Though I'll mainly concentrate on Races. (which I'll either invent from Scratch or base on Living creatures; Of all Typcial Fantasy Races, only Humans exist, but there is also a Gnome-like race, a Faerie-like Race and an Elf-like Race... And all are Evil  )

I'm sorry xerox, but even you must admit it's impossible that getting someone with a completely neutral viewpoint in this situation is impossible. My feelings for everyone here will affect the score a little, but I'll try to be as honest as possible.

I'm not sure wether I can muster enough commitment (and find the time, my exam session starts next week) to actually pull any ideas through and I never liked jugding anything so it's out of the question.
I'll give it a fair try if I won't forget

Anyway, bakkie, feel like adding your world of darkness or creating a new RPG?
It's not my World of Darkness, but White Wolf entertainment's... so it kinda wouldn't be fair, would it?
I'll see if I can participate with something original though.

Game Name : Scion
History : The land of Visoth once was a land of magic and mystery. Magical creatures roamed freely, and danger lurked around every corner. Each of the 10 gods had their favorite creatures, and did everything they could to ensure these creatures survival. Some even embued these creatures with some of their essence, making Avatars. Although battles and wars were fought, it was actually a very serene time..in the beginning. As the population of each creature grew, one of the gods started to ponder. Why should his creations have to share with the others? He was one of the most powerful of the gods, and his creations should be the dominate species on the planet.
He knew that as strong as he was, however, in a contest of 9 on 1 he would lose. Up until this time, deceit was yet unkown. So when he approached several of the other gods who had shown signs of being unhappy, they had no reason not to believe him. He forged an allience with 3 of the 'lesser' gods under the pretense that he and they would share the world together.
Gathering their power, they focused it onto his creatures the Leaxa, a then underground race of amphibious creatures who had the body of a 'human' and the head of an iguana. Thus were born the Scions.
With the power of 5 different gods imbued in them, the Scions grew steadily more powerful, until their very thoughts could shift reality. Time no longer had sway over them, they were all but immortal. In a very short time, they had conquered and enslaved the entire population of the world. The other gods had no time to react, and as the population of their creatures declined so did their power. Then of course, the deceitful god who started it turned on his allies..knowning that all 11 together would not be able to fight him.
He was correct, even after the other gods that had assisted him joined the others..they were so weakened that all of them combined could not challenge him. Things were bleak...time passed and "Goran"'s (now the main god) dominance grew. All the other gods were in hiding, and he had no desire to hunt them as he considered them no danger.
Then..the 'visitor' came. A mysterious being from another dimension. He found the other gods, and took note of the condition of the planet. He was not pleased. Gathering the other lesser gods of the world he used their power to sow a couple of 'seeds'. Seeds that would make beings that were immune to the Scions direct power. It would take time for the seeds to bear fruit, and even then the Scions would have a vast army at their disposal. It would not be an easy task.
Over time, many people became immune to the Scions ability. However, all they had known was service to the Scions. Rebellion was the farthest thing from their mind. Who will rise up, claim the world for their own? Welcome to the world of the Scion!
Note : The characters are not 'unique'. Many people now are immune to the direct powers of the Scion. Even some of the Scion themselves have started to question their races actions..the cruel killing of the other races without mercy. Some want to rule the world themselves. There is also the mystery visitor. While most of his power is 'tied up' in making some of the creatures immune to the Scion's powers he still can be 'seen' from time to time. Is his motives good? Only time will tell.
God - Favored Race. (Players can ONLY be from one of the Favored Races)
Goran - Leaxa Amphibious creatures with vast powers. However, more and more of the races are becoming immune, and they are slowly loosing their grip on the world. Currently Head God. God of deceit and manipulation.
Bela - Dragon. Bella was the head god until Goran managed to trick some of the others. The dragons are still very potent, but their numbers are few. Dragons have three forms : Human, Dragon, and a third of their choosing. They suffer from "Dragon Sickness" however. When they are in their dragon or human form they age at a very advanced rate..one of the first things the Scions manipulated to keep the Dragons in check. While PC's will have this sickness, it will not be as pronounced. Bella is god of the heavens.
Hanor - Unicorn. Mate to Bela. He is the god of peace, tranquility, and purity. Some say he retained most of his power by hiding his creatures. He is reluctant to have a war, however. If he could be swayed..the tide might turn. There is a 'rogue' faction of Unicorns out there..somewhere. Getting them to side against Goran openly might win the war.
Baya - Human. For a long time it was thought that Baya might become the strongest of the gods. His creatures populated super fast, and seemed able to adapt to anything. Their lack of power, however, has kept them in check..so far. God of adaptability, Fertility, and creativity
J'La - Elf. Though more .. squishy then some of the races, the elves live very long lives and 'had' tremendous magics. Most was lost when the Scions came to power, but some say it still lingers in some of the Elves. Goddess of Magic and Longevity.
Thal - Giant. Though there are many types of giants, they all worship one god (though each looks and behaves slightly different). Thal is also the god of change, war, and strength. Unlike most gods he can change forms without invoking his god powers. Thal is a bit on the Chaotic side (since his worshipers have many versions of him).
Thix (Minor god) - Ogre. The Ogre's also worship Thal as a 'secondary' god, their main god is Thal's little brother Thix. It is rumored that Thix was once one of the smartest of the gods until he was injured in a fight. Now Thix is considered a bit 'slow' (as are his creatures) but there are more then a few who think it is an act for some reason.
Hgab (Minor God) - Goblins. One of the first of the gods to jump at the chance to side with Goran as the other gods tended to ignore or belittle him. Has a dark side to him, and is very cunning and deceitful. God of minor battles, strength (though less so then Thal), and cowardice.
Ophia and Ophella (Minor Gods) - God and Goddess of the Fae. ALL the Fae in all their many shapes and sizes. (Pixie, fairy, and sprites are the only playable Fae however). Their short attention span and chaotic nature allowed Goran to trick them into helping him. Though powerful (as are their creatures) they tend to shy away from contact and are way too flighty to be considered major gods. Ophia is male, Ophella is female. However they love a good prank and have been known to pretend to be each other.
Gameplay : Traditional Roleplaying Game (without stats)
Goal : There are of course multiple..world domination..restore balance..ensure the Goran maintains his place as the 'main' god. Firgure out who the 'traveler' is and what his motives are. Exterminate all other races..depends on the character and their motives  .
Classes would be kept to a 'short list' - Warrior, Mage, Cleric, Theif, Druid, and Monk. No 'enhanced' classes either. However, Dual class is allowed (Warrior-Cleric, Warrior-Druid, Mage-Theif, etc).
The world is one big continent with only 4 islands positioned North, South, East, and West. The land mass is huge and about twice the size of all earth's landmasses combined. If you travelled the entire area you would encounter everything from frozen tundra to deserts. There is a storm called The 'Eye of Judgement' which has been known to radically change an areas temperature and climate, but it has not been seen since Goran's rise to power.

Me Joining!
Shattered Empire
Jarahad XVI, last Emperor of Ruathaa, died twelve years ago with no heir. With his passing, the Ruathan Empire descended into chaos, with each province and territory acting as an independent nation. Now, the former lands of Ruathaa are divided between five new nations. The Five distrust each other, and foreign powers encroach upon Ruathan lands. The new Merchant Guilds expand and gain power. Who will you be?
The Five
The five successor states of Ruathaa are bound by a shifting web of alliances, pacts, treaties, agreements, and deals. Wars are common and short, and appear alongside diplomacy, espionage, and raids as methods used for gaining power and influence. Nevertheless, the Five are evenly matched - for now.
The Duchy of Gravenhage
Colors: White and Pale Blue
Ruler: Duke Garvha III
As cold and dour as the northern provinces from which they came, the Gravenfolk remain relatively isolated from the feuds and politics that dominate the other Ruathan successor states. Their few ports, all along their land's northern coast, are frozen and useless for most of the year. The severe cold of their realm has made the Gravenfolk into grim, determined people.
Duke Garvha III, descended directly from the man who governed Gravenhage under King Jarahad XVI, is slowly bringing his nation out of its isolationist ideology. The Duke is raising a massive army from his capital at Graavena, and is preparing to strike south into warmer lands.
The Barony of Amristar
Colors: Deep Purple and Gold
Ruler: Baron Aldahar VI
Centered around the former capital of the Ruathan Empire, also called Amristar, the Barony of Amristar is nearly landlocked. The Amristrians are known for being aristocratic and arrogant, confident in their natural right to rule all of Ruathaa; The old feudal class system survives and thrives in Amristar.
While the fat, pompous Baron Aldahar VI ostensibly rules the Barony, in truth the nation is governed by his scheming and manipulative wife Amaryss. While she dreams of recreating the glory of the Ruathan Empire, she realizes the importance of internal politics, and is currently working to transform Amristar into an absolute monarchy.
The March of Varsallaise
Colors: Dark Blue and Silver
Ruler: Marquess Aurelien II
The Earldom of Haakon
Colors: Black and Red
Ruler: Earl Haarkin IV
The Merchant Republic of Siena
Colors: Copper and Aqua
Ruler: Doge Alessandro
