This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I'm moving discussion of this from elsewhere to here because we'd like to get more people involved.

Folks, the subject is about doing a promotion for both FtA! and theRPGsite where the idea is to get people to submit their own Random Charts for FtA!, and a group of three judges (me being one of them, Jrients and Dr.Rotwang! being the other two, ideally) will decide on the best ones.  There will be prizes plus many of the charts submitted could end up in the upcoming Gamemasters' Notebook! for FtA! (FtA!GN!).

So what we need is someone who'd be willing to handle the publicity for all this. Zach, Clash, I leave the two of you to explain the details and prizes and such... me, I'm off for Korean food!

You wanna know something really, really funny?

While I was waiting for the page to load (I'm on a slow machine at work), I was thinking to myself, "If I enter this contest, I will be in dire, direct competition with Jeff Rients."

100% truth.

There's no way we can fairly enter the contest or win fabulous prizes, but "many of the charts submitted could end up in the upcoming Gamemasters' Notebook!" gives us a foot in the door, I think.

I mean we could write up a chart each and everyone ELSE would --

Screw it, I'll just write up some charts.

Prizes:

1 Grand Prize: $50 cash - check or paypal

2 Second Prizes: Print copy of FtA! (or equivalent Flying Mice Game*)

5 Honorable Mentions: PDF copy of FtA! (or equivalent Flying Mice Game**)

All submissions to become the property of The RPG Pundit and Flying Mice Games, so we can make up paper airplanes and throw them at each other. If by some chance the chart or table ends up in FtA!GN!, we will grumpily give you credit or something.
 
* If anyone from Uruguay or Oz wins, it may be more expensive for us than the cash prize, what with shipping... :O
** A more probable outcome, considering you probably already have the pdf if you are entering this contest... :D

Obviously all charts/random tables would have to conform with FtA!'s rules.
