Natural 20 Press "Tournaments, Fairs, & Taverns" - Contest Foibles

The open submission contest for Tournaments, Fairs, & Taverns is over. We're wrapping up production now, so you won't be able to submit anything more (though if we see something totally spectacular, we might change our minds, *wink*)

Of all the games submitted, 20 made it in, and overall I must say I'm impressed with the inventiveness of the submissions. For those who submitted and didn't make it in, I hope you can take condolence in the fact that several submissions bore great similarities, so we chose the ones that had the greatest spice and control of the rules. We could only have so many spellcaster games or archery contests, so we were forced to make hard choices to determine the best in the lot. These 20 games aren't the only ones in the book; we'll include a few others that were notable omissions (like chess).

The main reason I post here, though, is that we have a bit of a problem, in that many of the submissions do not include the names and email addresses of the author. We need that information to properly acknowledge contributors, and to send them their free copies of the book when it is finished.

Here are the games that were accepted out of those submitted. If you wrote one of these, please email me, and include both your name and your email address in the body of the message. Plus, please include a sentence or two description of what the game is, to prove that you're not lying.

If you don't contact me, we might not be able to thank you for your contribution, and you won't be able to get your free copy of the book. Please reply to me by next Monday (April 15th).

If you didn't submit, this post doesn't hold much importance for you, so I'll end by saying that Tournaments, Fairs, & Taverns will be available around the end of April.
