Paizo lottery for forum writers?


Pathfinder Adventure Card Game General Discussion


How about introducing a lottery for those people who write/participate to/in the forum?

Every week a small price could be won... Such as e.g. the new promo character Ekkie, a Selinker-signed promo card from Wrath of the Righteous, etc.

Shipping costs are not a factor as most people are subscribers...

What do you think?

That would be awesome! I don't have a subscription, but I purchased all the Skull & Shackles decks. I'd be happy to pay for shipping.


Oh. I'm totally up for this. If we can get free promos, I'll be even more active. Maybe I'll start making homebrew characters every week, just to get me some more PACG <3

Activity on the forums isn't really something that should be rewarded, it's something that's far too easy to have without actually contributing to the community whatsoever. Unless the staff were willing to personally look through every single post to make sure they were real posts that actually deserved entry into an award system, it wouldn't work or be fair.

That being said, if it did ever somehow happen, the promos would need to be things available for subscribers already. We already have the minis that have to be purchased extra to get every promo, we don't need to add more to the mix. Especially things that can't be obtained by every single person.


As rewards/prices i think everybody here is interested in Paizo-staff-signed promo cards...
This is easy to be realized and no major costs for paizo.

A signiture and may be some creative drawings (Vic's Black Tower), modifications of the card. You could do a new sticky thread with weekly/monthly update/lottery drawing...

Who does want a card from Mike, Tanis or Vic???


I don't think anyone's questioning that fans would like to get more stuff - but there's no real reason for Paizo to provide it. As Andrew said, general activity on the forum isn't particularly reward-worthy.

From Paizo's perspective, all it's likely to do, is cause more hassle with complaints from the people who DON'T get them...

You are so right. So far my 5 promos are not signed by tanis, vic, mike, sharaya and lisa.

So this is a complaint - i DIDNT get any signed promos yet :-)

WARNING WARNING WARNING
If I may interfer with your private life Myfly (and mine by the way), please Paizo DO NOT reward us for posting.
If you do so 1) all 12 years old bored nolife teens will start posting everything and its opposite and worse 2) Myfly and I will stop getting any sleep and even worse 3) anyway hawk will get all the rewards (and it wouldn't even be unfair).
So please don't.
Ever.
Never.
This said, I would welcome a set of season 1 promo cards because I missed them (and my daughter realy LOVES the piggy) if you had some fun reading the present post :-)

This idea deserves a Skeletor Affirmation:
TODAY I FULLY COMMIT TO MY BRILLIANT IDEAS.

Ad 1)
You could limit the monthly lottery win - one signed promo card - to only subscribers. No 12 year old will be a subscriber. Problem one solved.

Ad 2)
I think there will not be reasonable more threads and posts. So IMO it will be just a fun factor, the monthly or weekly reward for ONE subscriber...

Ad 3)
Well, thats simple. Hawk does not do more then 10% of all posts... But he is really helpful. So why he shouldnt have a higher chance to win a signed promo card when he is dedicating so much effort and time to help out orher people. This is definetly fair!

MORE)
- Paizo staff may be creative and alter with a pen slightly the image of the promo card
- instead of e.g. A D8+1 roll, paizo could add with pen D8+2 ... So slight improvement of card
- finally card signed by paizo staff member who was creative...
- further, hopefully BRIlLIANT IDEAS are also rewarded :)

1) Now you have to pay to MAYBE get something? No. No. Sorry. No.

2) The second you offer something for posting, I guarantee you'll get noticeably more junk posts.

3) I'd agree that, should something like this happen, a more contributing person would be more deserving to win. However, only if it's something anyone else can pay for. Contributing more would not deserve a better chance at something no one else can get. Also, Hawkmoon is HAL in disguise, so best case scenario he rigs the contest to win. Clearly.

MORE) Modifying the effect of the card -- all those "No"s at the start of this post? Yea, let's add about 50 more ;)

Autographed cards -- Sure, this is cool, but I'd rather reserve those for people lucky enough to bump into one of them at a con booth or something.

Well, that is almost impossible for international customers....
