1) Between NOW and 12/24, design a state or artifact for this.
2) On 12/24, I'll randomly assign one of the entered artifacts or states to someone else that entered one (ensuring no-one gets their own). That person designs a kingdom card that uses the state/artifact by 12/31

Post the Artifact/State (and, in a week, also the kingdom card) in this thread. Only the judging should get DM'd to me.1) Between NOW and 12/24, design a state or artifact for this.

To clarify, should we post our Artifact/State submission here, or DM them to you?
yes, like is the case with Envious, Deluded, Miserable, and Twice Miserable. They don't have to be (and probably shouldn't be, without a good reason) double-sided though. Also yeah i definitely stopped in the middle of a sen• Artifacts should be anything with a tug-of-war element (so, lost in the woods would be an artifact for this contest); states should be along the lines of Envious or Deluded, where a player
Are you saying that for a State there should be a copy for each player?
Sunken Treasure • Artifact
At the start of your turn, reveal the bottom card of your deck. If it's Silver, put it into your hand.
Hidden Pocket
Artifact
Whenever you shuffle, you may choose up to 4 cards to leave in your discard pile.
Amulet of Protection
Artifact
You are unaffected by hexes
Forbidden
State
For the rest of the game, when any player (including you) plays X, it doesn't affect you.
Concussed
State
At the start of your turn, return this, and after you play a card this turn, if you have more than 4 cards in hand, discard a card.

Artifact
At the start of your turn, you may trash a Curse from your hand to gain a Copper and an Estate to your hand.

This would make almost no difference in a game. First, you have to happen to have a Curse in your starting hand. Then, you have the option of trashing one junk card to get two slightly less bad junk cards. I don't think it would be a good idea to use it even when you had the opportunity unless it was near the end of the game already.
QuoteForbidden
State
For the rest of the game, when any player (including you) plays X, it doesn't affect you.
Prepared

At the start of your Clean-Up phase, return this. Then, +1 Card at the end of your turn per 3 differently-named cards in play (rounded down).
Question: Are States inherently limited to one per player at any given time? E.g., if there's a card that says "Take [X] state", would it automatically fail if you already have the State, or could you take a 2nd copy of that State, assuming there's one available?

unclear. We've only got a couple states as-is, so canonwise there's not a ton to go off of. I think for simplicity's sake, having a default rule be "you can't stack multiple of the same state" is fine.

I'll point out that of the official states, you can only get Deluded/Envious "if you don't have Deluded or Envious.'

right but i think this is an artifact of paper play, where deluded is on the reverse of envious, to get around the question "how do we, in a six player game where everyone has Deluded, take Envious"
And the other two States also have something explicitly preventing you from taking multiple copies; Lost in the Woods is only taken if you aren't already the player with it, and even if Fool didn't have that wording, there's only one copy of it; and the Miserable/Twice Miserable state is only taken if you haven't already been affected by Misery.
The format I expect is "Choose one: [something that affects all players], or [something that affects only you] and take Forbidden." But it might end up being something else entirely, by nature of round robinning!QuoteForbidden
State

This seems like it might work better as an Artifact. As a State, it makes whatever card gives you it a one-time-use card, making it junk for the remainder of the game. But as an Artifact, you could have a card that says "Do X, then take Forbidden". Then Forbidden would be like Lost in the Woods, and would typically end up moving between players (unless only one player buys that card)
Confused
State
During you turns, playing an Action card does not cost an Action. Playing a Treasure card during your Buy phase costs an Action.

Fixer + Caught in the Act
I don't think Fixer on its own would work as a card as it would be far too monolithic, but Caught in the Act is a good counter-balance. That said, Fixer is strictly better than Market, considering it can be played as one without any penalty, but gives you plenty of additional options if needed.

I think you're misreading Fixer here; if it's a Market, then you get the penalty. You only don't get it if you take 3 (or less) different options.

Feedback for Philanthropist / Generous
Philanthropist is a really cool mix of Gold gainer and copper trasher. Without playtesting it, it is difficult to fully predict how it will play and feel, but the way that Generous is beneficial early game and detrimental late game makes me think it would be very interesting to interact with. Philanthropist being costed at $4 seems right as an early Philanthropist is certainly going to trash coppers most efficiently via Generous. The Gold gain makes getting rid of Generous a top priority, but you can always just treat the gained Golds as Spoils. The only danger would be running out of treasures completely. Additionally I like the interaction this would have with Trade Routes and cards that interact with the trash. Over all a design I would want to play with.
I did judge this combo, so apologies for not including feedback.
