Make My Character!

[Pramas]

When I first started going to GenCon, I got to play games wall to wall for four days and it was awesome. These days I spend most of my time working the Green Ronin booth or in meetings. I always try to get in at least one game though, because it wouldn't be GenCon without it. Oftentimes, it's a chance to get together with friends from my college game group. This year former Green Ronin developer Rob Schwalb is going to run a 4th edition D&D game and I need to bring my own character.

Rob is never a man to take the easy way out, so he's running the game for 21st level characters. One night I finally cracked open Player's Handbook II to check out the options there but looking through the powers of the different classes just made my eyes glaze over. I realized then that I did not have the time to dedicate to make a proper character of that level.

So I'm running a contest. Here's how it works:

* Make me a level 21 character you think will be fun to play.

* Magic items of level 22, level 21, level 20, and 225,000 gold pieces.

* Use the character builder or similar to make a character sheet. Pre-figured power cards are a big plus.

* Print the character and mail to the following address:
Green Ronin Publishing
Attn: Chris Pramas
3815 S. Othello St. Suite 100, #304
Seattle, WA 98108

* Characters must be received by August 1, 2009. I will then judge the entries and pick a winner.

* The winner will receive $35 worth of Green Ronin product. This can be print or PDF if you are in the USA, or PDF if you are in another country.

That's it. So what are you waiting for? Make my character!

Very cool.

Only snail mail, not email, right?

Great idea!

first thought upon reading this thread:

this is like buying someone else's WoW account.
or diablo items
or...

do you want them to stand in for you too to play the character?


i would say this is a cool idea if i had the time.

good luck.

You'd think Mr. Schwalb would run A Song of Ice and Fire Rolepying, particularly after all the ENnie nominations.

Rob Schwalb contributes a lot to the D&DI stuff - I think it makes sense.

Count me in, I'm doing it!

Couple of questions before we dive in, Chris.

Are Hybrid characters allowed?

Also, are there any setting restrictions?

Yes.

I don't know what setting, if any, Rob plans to use. This is a one shot, so it's probably not that important.

As for P-Cat's question, if you have my e-mail, you can send it to me. I just didn't want to put my address all over the internet where every spambot in the world could pick it up.

This is a great contest idea, and gives me an excuse to play around with chargen up and down.

So when you say

Use the character builder or similar to make a character sheet. Pre-figured power cards are a big plus.

are things like form-fillable character sheets, or power card generators (such as this), acceptable means of generating entries? That might be the only way for Mac users and non-DDI subscribers to enter. I'm both, and I would hate to deprive you of my entry .
