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, and especially Maka for donating the Usagi on Horse action figure in this month's prize. 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 not win two months in a row, but they can still play the weekly trivia any weekly wins on the month after a win will not count as an entry into the monthly prize pack. Back to back wins are rare, but I want to make sure that with the small number of players we have, the prizes get spread out a bit. 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

About the artist - This month's original sketch card is by David Petersen. I'm sure you're all aware of who David is, but in case you aren't familiar with his work, he is the creator of the award winning comic Mouse Guard. Earlier this year, David's illustrations were featured in a new release of Wind in the Willows and he provided the retailer incentive cover art for Usagi/TMNT. He currently has a Mouse Guard movie in active development. In his spare time (of which there isn't much), David makes wizard wands, builds small scale buildings and houses for his Mouse Guard series, creates his own role-playing games, and occasionally gets some sleep. You can see a lot more of his work and process here: http://davidpetersen.blogspot.com/ (If this card looks familiar, it was won by Steve last November, but he had won the previous David Petersen sketchcard a couple years earlier, so I swapped it out for a different one and returned this one to the prize pool).
