Contest: Tell me about your character!
I enjoy reading about other people’s characters and I enjoy seeing people at their creative best. With that in mind, I’ve decided to hold a contest. I will be judge, jury, and executioner, so you have no one to please but me. 
First Prize
- $15 gift certificate to RPGNow.com
- A War of the Burning Sky subscription (generously offered by Morrus from ENWorld)
Second Prize
- $10 gift certificate to RPGNow.com
- The Indispensable Character Formfolio (thanks to Mark at Creative Mountain Games)
Third Prize
- $5 gift certificate to RPGNow.com
I hope that whets your appetite.
Here’s what I want from you:
- A name
- A race (if the setting allows races)
- A backstory
Each backstory must include all of the following elements:
- Danger
- A Big Win or a Close Win
- A Big Defeat or a Close Defeat
- Monkeys (optional but encouraged)
Please try to keep the backstory down to one or two pages if possible. I will read longer stories but I would prefer them not to be in novella format.
That’s it. The contest will run until midnight on Monday, September 1, 2008, and I will announce the winners by Wednesday, September 3. I will also post all entries on this site unless you specifically ask me not to.
So good luck to everyone and let’s get creative!
