May Trivia Prize Pack (final month!)
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2016 23:51 -0700
The day has finally come where I've pretty much run out of items in my pile. Therefore, this is the last of the monthly trivia prize packs that I have to give away. 
It's been fun to put these together every month and I want to thank Stan and all the artists that contributed sketch cards for their fantastic donations, as well as Gaffey for the Phantom cards and Maichan for the Yokai mini-books. What I had anticipated to be 4-6 months of giveaways ended up becoming 14 months
(and one non-trivia giveaway)! I'm stunned by the generosity here and the quantity of things I was given to add to the giveaways. I was a relative newcomer on the forum when Stan entrusted me with a big pile of merchandise to give away (which, if you look at ebay prices, you'd see was hundreds of dollars in value) and I hope that I've been a good steward of that trust and run things fairly.
Now, don't worry. This doesn't mean the complete end of prizes. I still plan on doing giveaways in the future as my supply allows. Shadowfax has donated some interesting items (I'm awaiting the next convention with Stan so I can get them signed) and I have a couple more sketch cards and other odds and ends to give away. I'll likely be doing future giveaways as non-trivia prizes, so keep an eye on the Dojo News subforum (as it's the place for "Dojo contest info").
All that said, here's what's up for grabs for May (remember, if it's signed in the picture, then the item you receive will be signed as well). Items are not to scale
:
About the artist 1 - This month's original Usagi sketch card is by Travis Hanson. Travis is the Eisner nominated creator of web comic The Bean, described as an "epic fantasy tale of a dishwasher." Besides his work on The Bean, Travis has written several other books, contributed to The Sakai Project (page 132), and recently successfully crowdfunded his kitty vs alien card game No Mercy. You can learn more about his work here: http://www.beanleafpress.com/
About the artist 2 - This month's original Tomoe sketch card is by David Davis. David is an illustrator that has worked for various independent publications as well as Nickelodeon Magazine and runs his own webcomic. You can learn more about his work here: http://www.hpkomics.com/
Special thanks to Maichan for donating the Yokai: Ghosts and Goblins of Japan mini-book included in this month's prize pack.
