Here's a bit more info about how this raffle is going to work.
- At the end of the contest, one product will be "The Survivor." This product will be the prize that is awarded.
- There will also be a number of posts in the thread (for example: this is Post #66.)
- I will generate a random number between 2 (the first vote) and X, where X is the post number of the winning vote.
- I'll find that random post number in the thread.
- If that post is a vote (and not random commentary or a math correction), that post's author wins.
- If that post isn't a vote, or if it's one of my votes, or if it's someone who has already won, it will be rerolled.
- This process will be repeated until 3 people have won.
- Thus, all you need to do to enter the raffle is vote! And the more you vote, the better your odds of winning.
- I will send a DM to each of the 3 winners, asking them for their e-mail address.
- I will go to the product page on DM's Guild, and order an electronic copy of The Survivor, and send it to the winners' email addresses.
- You will get a product code by email.
- Log on to DM's Guild (setting up an account if you don't already have one),
- enter the code in the email,
- and a copy of The Survivor will be added to your library on DM's Guild.
- Download it at your leisure.
Why You Need an E-mail address: You need a valid email address because the product will be delivered electronically (see the link above). There are no physical prizes or alternate formats being awarded.
Why You Need a Valid DM'S Guild account: You need a valid DM's Guild account because this is where I will be purchasing the prizes from. While these products are available from other distributors, the DM's Guild is offering donations to charity, and I wish to support that. Also, the DM's Guild rules.
The Ignore Feature: Of course, this whole thing won't work if I've blocked you. So I toggled off my "Remove Ignored Content" option in my profile, and disabled the "2-way Ignore" feature. It's the best I can do from my end. And obviously, if
you are ignoring
me, well, you're never going to know if you're a winner or not.
What if I win, but I already own a copy of The Survivor? I'm still working on this. The way I understand it, whenever I type your email address into the order form at DM's Guild, it will prompt me with a message that says "This person already owns a copy of this document" or something to that effect. And if that happens, I will reach out to you for more information.
What if I don't want to share my email address? I can't send your prize if you don't have an email address you're willing to share. So my advice is to create a temporary email address. Otherwise, you will have to forfeit your prize.
