Fantasy Craft Giveaway: We have a winner!
2September 6, 2010
On September 1st I announced a Fantasy Craft giveaway contest in order to celebrate Crafty Games latest release: “Time of High Adventure”. There have been 30 eligible comments and two late entries which couldn’t be considered. Instead of rolling my trusty d30, I used random.org to generate a truly random number between 1 and 30. The lucky number was 29 this time and so, Typhon won!
I already sent him an email and when he accepts his prize, he’ll be reading Fantasy Craft in no time. In the unlikely case he doesn’t accept, I’ll do a second drawing. Typhon, if you read this and you haven’t got an email yet, please contact me using email (my email address is shown under that post).
Fantasy Craft Giveaway!
33September 1, 2010
To celebrate yesterdays’ release of the PDF version of “Time of High Adventure” by Crafty Games, we give away one copy of the Fantasy Craft 2nd printing PDF today! As with all our PDF giveaways in the past, you need to have an account at DriveThruRPG/RPGNow in order to participate. But this should be a minor hurdle, if you ask me.

So, what do you have to do to get your hands on a copy of Fantasy Craft? That’s extremely easy this time. Just leave a comment under this post. That’s all. I will randomly pick a winner tomorrow at noon GMT+2 (German time). It would be nice if you write about why you’re interested in Fantasy Craft in the first place.
P.S.: To avoid possible confusion, please note that the prize for the giveaway contest is Fantasy Craft, not Time of High Adventure!
Dicebook
4July 29, 2010
In March I posted about Apple’s iPad and what it could mean for us gamers. Even back then there were several apps that make a gamer’s life easier. But recently I learned about Dicebook. Dicebook is not just another PDF viewer but allows you to roll the dice while viewing PDFs. Since the iPad’s multitasking abilities are pretty limited, this could be quite handy.
Alas I don’t have an iPad yet, but Dicebook’s developer, David Dunham, was nice enough to provide me with a coupon code for a free copy.
So, if you own an iPad and an US account for the iTunes store, there’s one easy way to get your hands on this app:
Tell us in the comments below, how you use your iPad while running, preparing or playing pen & paper roleplaying games.
I will pick the winner tomorrow at noon (German time, which is currently GMT+2). Good luck!
The stars are right… For a winner! The results of the Realms of Cthulhu Giveaway Contest
2July 13, 2010
Following the post for the Realms of Cthulhu giveaway, many of our loyal readers sent in their submissions and once the contest closed we sat down to give each one good read.
After much consideration and difficult deliberation, Michael and I have agreed on a winner. All entries were excellent, making the deliberation process an arduous one. We thank each and everyone who participated. It was really a close race, but we decided the winner is (drum roll please)….
- Philip Tucker
He is the winner of a digital copy of the Realms of Cthulhu book, congratulations! Philip has an excellent blog, DMing Basics. Be sure to swing by and congratulate him!
We also have two honorable mentions in the contest:
- David Henley
- Karlo J. Yeager
While we don’t have a book to give them, and we really wish we had one for everybody who sent in their entry, both David and Karlo have their entries included in the PDF we’ve put together. It contains the wining entry and the two honorable mentions for your reading enjoyment.
Again, congratulations to the winner and honorable mentions and thank you to everyone for participating. We’ll have more contest and giveaways in the future so be on the lookout for them!
Realms of Cthulhu Giveaway Contest
5July 1, 2010
UPDATE: The contest is now closed. The winner will announced next week!
I promised you another giveaway contest and here it is! I still have one PDF copy of Reality Blurs’ excellent “Realms of Cthulhu” to give away. Realms of Cthulhu is a game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft and uses the Savage World rules. Please note that you need a copy of the Savage Worlds Explorer’s Edition to play this game. For more details on RoC please check out the review I wrote a couple of weeks back.
So, what do you have to do to get the PDF copy of this fine book? This time it’s a bit more complicated. No simple comment will suffice. Send us a premise for a one-session Cthulhu scenario. You don’t have to write a full adventure, just write down enough information that someone could use this premise to flesh it out himself.
So, here are the rules for our “Realms of Cthulhu” contest:
-
Write a short premise for a one-session scenario.
-
Send your entry to info (at) stargazersworld (dot) com and use the subject “Realms of Cthulhu Contest”.
-
Since the prizes are coupon codes for RPGNow/DriveThruRPG, you need to register for an account there
-
The contest ends on noon of July 9th 2010 CEST (GMT +2)
-
My co-author Roberto and I will pick a winner
-
The winner will be announced in the week following July 9th.
-
The winning entry and a number of follow-ups (depends on how long the entries are and how many we get) will be posted on the blog. If you don’t want your entry be published here, let us know in your email.
Good luck and may the stars be right for you! If you have any questions regarding the contest please post in the comments below.
