I'm only wondering because things don't really make much sense with this contest. It seems more like a ploy to get people to subscribe to the DDI than to actually get a fan in the movie.For one, look at the list of races that they are telling us to base the character on (that you would then play as in the movie):    * Bladeling    * Changeling    * Deva    * Drow    * Duergar    * Dwarf    * Eladrin    * Elf    * Genasi    * Githyanki    * Githzerai    * Goblin    * Half-Elf    * Half-Orc    * Hobgoblin    * Kalashtar    * Kenku    * Longtooth Shifter    * Mul    * Orc    * Razorclaw Shifter    * Revenant    * Tiefling    * WildenI mean, that is quite a range of races that could appear in the movie. I really doubt they have scenes involving each one of those races. From a production standpoint, that isn't the kind of thing that you just toss in to your script willy-nilly & last minute. They have to already know the scene that this character will appear in. So I'm assuming they have a scene already planned out which could involve any of those races. But that seems like a bit of a stretch.Even as an extra, the character placement needs to make sense with the scene. Perhaps the scene is a group of evil patrons in a tavern. But then what's with the Deva? Are there evil Devas in 4e? A fallen Deva seems like a bit much for this scenario. Why include that as a potential character?Then, there is the fact that they are not asking for mugshots. I mean, they do say, "with a little help from the talented hair and make-up department", but I've seen what we look like and it won't require a "little" help. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />What if the winning guy is a Drow, but in real life, he's a 300 lb 6'5" Neckbeard? Or maybe it's a woman, and her winning character is a Githzerai, but she is actually 4"9 and 200 lbs? Or maybe it is a man, but he made a female elf character. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just being realistic. The movie industry isn't known for being kind to people that would not look good on camera. It doesn't actually say that you will appear in the final edit of the film. And even if you do, I've seen contest winners that got to appear in film or tv, and it was not cool at all. They stick you in a crowded scene, far back in the shot where you are barely visible, and you appear on camera for less than half a second. This has to be their intent in this case.And honestly, would you really want to be associated with a D&D movie? If any of you end up being a contest winner, be sure that I'll blame you personally for the movie bombing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
