Day 1 of the "12 Days of OSR Christmas" Giveaway - An OSR Threesome
Note: Due to the expense of mailing packages outside the US, some days of the OSR Christmas Giveaway will be limited to US mailing addresses only. This is one of those days. I apologize to the international tavern patrons and will make it up to you in the coming days. PDF gifts will be international and will require an OBS (occasionally LULU) account to claim in most cases. We do have print gifts that will be shipping internationally in later days.
We are kicking off the 12 Days of OSR Christmas with a very OSR package for a single tavern patron - print copies of the following donated by +tony a. thompson
1. S&W Whitebox (softcover)
2. Heroes & Other Worlds Adventure Game
3. Whitehack
Now, how do you enter to possibly find yourself gifted these fine gifts?
Add a comment to this post.
Really, it's that simple. I'll stop taking comments at 5pm tomorrow night NYC time and randomly pick a winner and Tony will get the gifts out to you.
The same will go one for 11 more days. Some days the gifts will be in print. Some days PDF. Some days will have multiple gift receivers, some days will have 1.
The winner(s) will be announced within 48 hours after the post closes for comments, but most likely will be announce within hours of the comments closing, usually in an OSR Christmas posting.
I can't find you, you'll have to find me after the gift(s) is(are) announced. Unawarded gifts will roll over to Three Kings Day or something...
Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteAll right, I will bite! Happy 12 Days of OSR Christmas commencement to everyone.
ReplyDeleteNo whammies! Big money!
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify, my donation (the _Curious Volume_ hardcover) can be sent anywhere, when the time comes for it to come up as a prize (it's not one of today's prizes, obviously). I'll be shipping it directly, with your kind permission, Erik.
ReplyDeleteHey! There's my comment for today! :-)
Can't wait! Go OSR Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!??
ReplyDeleteCommon natural '20'!
ReplyDeleteThis is another great idea. Happy 12 Days!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteI will mail out the package on Monday via Priority Mail to the winner. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteMy thanks to all the generous offerings. Can't wait to get them. *greedy eyes*
ReplyDeleteMerry OSR-mas to all!
ReplyDeleteSo it begins.... :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a posty post! I want stuff!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually post comments, but when I do, it's for free stuff from cool folks!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the sing song?
ReplyDeleteOn the 1st day of OSRmas my DM gave to me a Lich King playing possum on the gallows tree!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL THE ELFGAME PLAYERS!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm In! Love me some S&W!
ReplyDeleteHappy OSR Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI don't always enter contests, but when I do, I make sure it's OSR.
ReplyDeleteHell yeah!
ReplyDeleteIn please. Thanks for the great offering!
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteI loves me some _Whitebox_ and _Whitehack_. As a longtime TFT aficionado, I already have _Heroes and Other Worlds_, so this one will go to a good home.
ReplyDeleteLook into my eye.
ReplyDeleteI'm under the mistletoe...
ReplyDeleteGame on!
ReplyDeleteFirst! Not so much.....
ReplyDeleteEven a lurker like me come out for Christmas gifts!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmans!
ReplyDeleteHappy 12 Days of OSR!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Erik!
ReplyDeleteOn the first day of OsrXmas international postal rates made me frown.
ReplyDeleteCertainly interested in winning that!
ReplyDeleteBeen reading this for awhile now and would like to extend a warm holiday thanks to you Erik and all that you have been doing. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll toss my (Santa) hat into the ring! Happy Christmas and Merry Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI think I have said this before and certainly I'll probably say it 11 more times, but you and your blog are one of the very significant reasons I finally looked at the OSR seriously at last and rediscovered the fun.
ReplyDeleteThe 12 Days of OSR-Mas: A song in 12 parts.
ReplyDelete[sings] On the first day of OSR-mas Erik Tenkar gave to me, something inspired by OD&D...
(Oh, yes, I'll be keeping this up and having a complete song by the end of the 12 days, with each day represented by the theme of the day...)
(Just because, well, why the hell not?"
Your efforts for the community are astounding!
ReplyDeleteVery generous of you, sir. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGod Rest Ye Merry, Murderhobos!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI see your fours + and I raise with a natural 20.
ReplyDeleteEvery gamer
ReplyDeleteIn the Tavern
Liked OSR a lot...
But the gamer Grinch,
Who lived just North of the tavern
Did NOT!
The Grinch hated OSR! The whole OSR season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be that his head wasn't screwed on quite right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his imagination was two sizes too small.
Sounds good!
ReplyDelete:D
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping none of you are visited by the Krampus.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erik, for leading this event, and Tony, for donating these items.
ReplyDeleteI'm Canadian. If I win, can I gift it to an American friend? (my way of spreading the generosity :)
ReplyDelete(To the tune of 12 Days of Christmas, as if that wasn't obvious...)
ReplyDeleteOn the first day of OSR-Xmas my Blogger gave to meee,
Something OSR-Cool and Free and made from dead treee!
Love your blog Bro!
ReplyDeleteYou are the one who got me interested in OSR after almost twenty years away from D&D.
Would love to get whitebox S&W.
I wish you a Merry Christmas!
Chris

ReplyDeleteThanks for putting on the contest and for having an awesome blog, love the reviews and overdue kickstarter posts especially.
ReplyDeleteC'mon natural 20!
ReplyDeleteIm feelin lucky!
ReplyDeleteSlaad bless us everyone!
ReplyDeleteReally nice way to convey the holiday spirit to the OSR community... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHmm... hadn't heard of Heroes & Other Worlds, would like to check that out.
ReplyDeleteCount me in! This is great.
ReplyDeleteIf I win, I'll be putting S&W and Heroes back in the kitty. Just interested in Whitehack today. Luck be a lady...

ReplyDeleteHell yeah, great lookin' threesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm in. If I win, I will gladly award the S&W Whitebox to another entrant--I've got several print copies of the S&W Whitebox already.
ReplyDelete...and a partridge in a pear tree...
ReplyDeleteIf I had the space I'd jion in, but I can only accept electronic material at this moment. To the one who wins, howabout a mash up of the three. Take the best elements of each and do a version that mixes it all together.
ReplyDeleteFirst it's the 12 Days of Christmas from Cards Against Humanity now this? Wow, huge win!
ReplyDeleteLongtime reader (via RSS), first-time poster. Free stuff is a good antidote to introversion.
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy, joy, joy!
ReplyDeleteWow! 78 Comments so far! I'd seen people talking about the Whitehack before and almost got a copy myself earlier. Do you think it would be a good version to play with kids, or is it too complicated?
ReplyDeleteThis is a comment! Believe me!
ReplyDeleteLook into my husband's eye.
ReplyDelete:-)
Seriously, good luck to everyone. Sounds fun.
Merry Christmahanukwanzaa!
ReplyDeleteBeen wanting me a copy of Whitehack for a while now!
ReplyDeleteGreat package!
ReplyDeleteOn the first day of OSRmas Tenkar gave to me
ReplyDeleteA white box of Swords & Wizardry.
Still not sold on this whole OSR thing but I figure this contest is a good way for me to give it a shot without any cost.
ReplyDeleteMerry OSR-mas to you Tenkar!
ReplyDeleteCount me in please
ReplyDeleteOh! Shiny!
ReplyDeleteMerry Frost-mas!
ReplyDeleteUncertain what to say, beyond: Thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteHere's to a great winter solstice!
ReplyDeleteShazam!
ReplyDeleteRat Soup.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI was told there would be a concert but all the seats were taken. Wait, maybe that's the 12 days of SRO Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHappy yule!
ReplyDeleteHappy yule!
