October Trivia Prize Pack

Post by jabba359 »

Another month, another prize pack. As always, thanks to Stan for all the items he has donated for these giveaways and for signing the piles of stuff I bring him at conventions. The giveaways wouldn't be possible without his generosity. Special thanks to Gaffey, Steve H, and Grusagi for the items they've donated. More thanks goes out to all the artists who have been kind enough to provide original sketches for the sketch cards. Finally, thanks to all of you for participating and making this a great forum.

So, how does one win a prize pack? Here's how:

*Participate in the weekly trivia as you normally do.
*The winner or winners (if more than one) of the weekly trivia will be entered into the monthly prize drawing. If you win a weekly trivia question and don't want to be entered into the prize giveaway, just PM me and I'll exclude you from the randomizer at the end of the month.
*The winners of the trivia that ends during the prize month are eligible (for example, if a weekly trivia ends on April 30th, you qualify for April's prize pack, if it ends May 1st, you'd be in May's drawing).
*As people win the weekly trivia contests, I'll update the list of all the winners (in the order they won) and then use a random number generator (https://www.random.org/) to select the Prize Pack winner.
*I will announce in this thread who the prize pack winner is and contact them via PM for shipping info. International participants are welcome to play along.
*Participants can win two months in a row, but for the sake of spreading the love, any weekly wins on the third month will not count as an entry into the monthly prize pack. Back to back wins have only happened twice in the two years I've been running this, so winning three months in a row would have been possible, but unlikely. This just ensures that outcome is avoided. Thanks for understanding.
*These rules are subject to change on subsequent months if there are bugs to work out.

Here's what's up for grabs (remember, if it's signed in the picture, then the item you receive will be signed as well). Items are not to scale :D :

About the artist - This month's original Usagi sketch card is by Travis Hanson, who always asks me for a blank sketch card every time I see him at a convention so he can contribute to the prize packs. 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, is a frequent artist on various comic conventions' program cover art, and contributed to The Sakai Project (page 132). He recently Kickstarted his new Dungeons and Dragons themed comic strip book called Life of the Party: The Realities of an RPG'er, and it was so successful that he is working on a second book. Since the theme of that is Dungeons and Dragons, for this sketch card I asked him to draw Usagi as a D&D character.

Okay, so the print in the top left, where is the art from? For some reason I was thinking it was from book 4, The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy. While the book 4 cover shares similar characters and looks to be the same style of painting Stan was using that the time, it's certainly not the same as this print. Was this a potential candidate for the cover art and then changed, or for something else entirely?

Interesting. I wonder if that was the original cover, as Fantagraphics is using different art now: http://www.fantagraphics.com/#/product/1215

Well, that was unexpected. I thought for sure richarddragon had a lock on this month's prize pack, but the unpredictable nature of "random" reared its head and the number it chose was...
