Joe Goodman was generous enough to send me a coupon for DCC #67 at RPGNow, but I had already purchased a PDF copy from there. I asked if I could forward the copy on to one of my blog readers, and he said yes. (in the off chance that the code is linked to my account specifically, I'll purchase it as a gift for your account using the code at my account - should work the same in the end).
What do you need to do to win such wondrous prizes?
It's fairly simple.
Generate a Zero Level character for the DCC RPG. What, you don't have a copy of the rules? No problem at all. Just got to the Purple Sorcerer's website and they'll generate 4 characters for you! How easy is that? (remember, you just need 1, so pick the one you like the most and run with it)
Now all you need to do is name your character, post the stats, occupation, starting equipment and "lucky roll" - and 2 to 3 sentences of background, motivation, random info - whatever you want to post about your Zero level "noob" as a comment to this post.
Tuesday, June 26th at around 6 pm eastern time I'll close the door on entries and randomly pick 3 winners later on that night (why tuesday? because I may be running it monday night for my players that signed up via the UA-LC). Three main prizes - Three main winners. I will add two bundles from the Toys For the Sandbox series of releases. These two winners will be by my choice, not random. So, make me laugh, make an amazing write up, make poor stats into something memorable - whatever.
The bundles choices will be from the first three, so 1-5, 6-10 or 11-15.
You may enter as many times as you may like, but only one entry will count towards winning one of the three main adventures = Sailors on the Starless Sea, Perils of the Sunken City and Attack of the Frawg.
Good luck to all :)

Mulgad the Lucky is the seventh son of Bulmag the Virile, and was lucky enough to be trained as a jeweler.

It is not so much that he wants to become Mulgad the Thief, but that he wishes to gain a little more, and he trusts his luck just enough to imagine himself likely to succeed. Of course, his pious devotion to Legda, Goddess of Luck, cannot hurt. Or so he tells himself. He carries her holy symbol everywhere.

Hablin inherited the family business after the rest of his ilk died off in the plague, but he is rather tired of the mountains of fabric that he spends all day dyeing. He's ready to get out into the word and claim something nice for a change, even if that something nice is just enough gold to buy some booze and dull the pain of dyeing.

Weyland is an old campaigner, too old. He's seen countless battlefields in a long, decidely not illustrious, career. The years have taken a toll on him. Battle wounds, too much time in the rain and snow, and then the damned plague have left him a shadow of himself, physically. But, his mind is keen, and he's never lost that lust for adventure that suckered him into soldiering so many years ago. Now, cashiered out for age and infirmity, he's signed up with some peasant lads and lasses to seek some real gold, not the pittance he's always been paid. Still, he has little tolerance for greenhorns and fools, and is very much focused on the business at hand.

But, noone ever figured it out - it turns out, nobles are actually pretty dumb. Now he's called "Earl Jacob" and he mostly just laughs to himself.
