Taig's Twelve Days of Third Partymas

[limsk]

Woot free gaming stuff. I'm in!

[taig]

Bardess, you should have a PDF on its way.

Legendary Games has been a popular choice so far!

[JonathonWilder]

Aww, when I saw that twenty I was so excited but it would seem others had twenty as well... and then I got a five with the rerolls. :(

Congratulations Bardess!

[MoFiddy]

Very cool. Thanks!

[Lathiira]

Congrats to the winners so far!

[Bardess]

Thank you all. I received my prize and now I'll read it with great enjoyment.

If I win, that will be my choice as well. Legendary Games makes very good products, though some of their best products go beyond the scope of my games.

Also a fan of Everyman Gaming and what they make, I allow anything by them in my campaigns.

[Oddman80]

Switching it up tomorrow? But i rolled a 1 today :(

Oh well - Congrats Bardess. Maybe I can roll a double 1 tomorrow! I rolled three 1's in a row during the last session I GMed - so anything's possible ("anything" in this case being a 1:8000 chance)

With Paizo's dice roller, yes, anything is possible.

I wanted to announce the switch before I revealed the dice rolls. :)

[Duiker]

Ooh, I'm in! This is very generous of you, and I'm a big fan of gambling without buy-in.

[DSXMachina]

Could I put Treppa's name into the hat for a potential roll. She deserves a chance after another tough year. :D

Absolutely! Thanks for adding her to the list.

[Freehold DM]

One of the biggest moves I've seen. I wish I had thought of it.

Merry partymas, DSX.

No need to buy anyone a Legendary Games PDF, Mike. If you've got a winner who needs an LG book, you know where to find me. And since it's Christmas and Christ did say "the last shall be first," if you've finished dead last in any of Mike's roll-offs, you can PM me with your DrivethruRPG email address and I'll find you something nice to put in your stocking for Christmas.

Too late, plus I feel like giving back to you as a publisher. :)

However, your offer for dead-last finishes will make a lot of people happy, since the dice roller has been throwing out a lot of 1's.

[Hello? Yes, this is Bard.]

Hello? Yes, this is dot.

Well, far be it from me to say no!

Hey, we don't reward ties here! You've gotta be all alone in the pit of despair all by yer onesies to get a free PDF!

But on Christmas I'll take EVERYBODY that got a natural 1 at any point in the contest and randomly pick one to send a free hardback!

[Ambrosia Slaad]

Since it was OK with Mr. Badger... on the 12th Day O' Third-Partymas, I'll match Taig's offer for up to $10 of third-party PDFs for the runner-up. :)

[Ragadolf]

LOL!
That's awesome Jason!

Speaking as one whom the Paizo Dice roller has always loved,... to roll low,... I'd like to extend my gratitude in advance! ;P

Merry Christmas Jason!

And DSXM, very cool of you. :)

EDIT- AND you Ambrosia!
:)

[taig]

Tonight's drawing will be sponsored by Ben McFarland/terraleon. So, if you get a PM from him about a PDF, don't be surprised. :)

[Crai]

In addition to the kind-hearted Mike Welham (taig) starting off this ambitious holiday venture, it's really cool to see all the other magnanimous contributions from the other 3PP community stalwarts ... like Sarah Counts, Ben McFarland and the head honchos from Rogue Genius Games, Flaming Crab Games and Legendary Games (did I miss anybody??).

Congrats to all the winners so far! And I hope all this holiday-giving spawns a new surge of 3PP reviews, too. Just so we can get new intel on a lot of the new goodies that have published in 3PP-Land as of late.

I think you missed Micah's offer from Pyromaniac Press.

[Forest Guardian Press]

Ok. Since nobody ever said "let they wot is rolled an unnatural 13 during a Third Partymas roll-off be first" Forest Guardian Press will gift whoever gets an unmodified 13 (because maybe there are sekrit modifiers....) during a roll off will get all four Forest Guardian Press PDFs.

And the third runner up on the twelfth day of Third Partymas gets that offer too.

[Crai]

Thanks for picking that up, Oceanshieldwolf. Yes, big props, too ... to Pyromaniac Press.

And Forest Guardian Press as well!

[taig]

[taig]

Wow. Malwing has the only natural 1 and wins today's prize!

[Kobold Catgirl]

This is the coolest thing since sliced bread, taig. I always feel like I sort of shouldn't sign up for these and let other people at 'em, but screw it, I'm taking my birthday off this year so I want shiny things. I'm in!

Uh-oh. Doorknob just turned into my old business partner's face. Bad sign.

[taig]

So, we'll be back to normal "high roll wins" tomorrow.

[JonathonWilder]

Hmm, always more somewhere in the middle.

[Oddman80]

Rolls 1 on the "high roll wins" day
Rolls a 19 (tying 4 ways for highest roll) on "low roll wins" day

LOL!

Thank you Jason for taking pity on us last-placers!
And thank you Taig for doing this. It's a really generous thing you are doing.

[Changing Man]

Congrats to everyone who has won so far :)
I was hoping I'd have better luck yesterday, what with it being my b-day and all. BUT I've still got a runner-up thing to 'cash in'.

And at this point, I've kinda lost track of all the offers...

[Divinitus]

I WANT TO JOIN!!! :)

[Freehold DM]

I was so close....

[taig]

Here are the terrific offers associated with this little giveaway (I've excluded terraleon's generous offer to pick up one of the days, since he just did that):

Owen KC Stephens:
If anyone who wins, or heck who comes in second, would like a free random PDF from Rogue Genius Games, send an email to owen (dot) stephens (at) gmail (dot) com, and I'll send you a link for a free pdf of ours on DriveThru/RPGNow.

Pyromaniac Press:
Flaming Crab:
You can select a prize from their offerings in addition to the publishers I listed.

Jason Nelson:
If you've finished dead last in any of Mike's roll-offs, you can PM me with your DrivethruRPG email address and I'll find you something nice to put in your stocking for Christmas.
On Christmas I'll take EVERYBODY that got a natural 1 at any point in the contest and randomly pick one to send a free hardback!

Ambrosia Slaad:
On the 12th Day O' Third-Partymas, I'll match Taig's offer for up to $10 of third-party PDFs for the runner-up. :)

Forest Guardian Press:
Since nobody ever said "let they wot is rolled an unnatural 13 during a Third Partymas roll-off be first" Forest Guardian Press will gift whoever gets an unmodified 13 (because maybe there are sekrit modifiers....) during a roll off will get all four Forest Guardian Press PDFs.
The third runner up on the twelfth day of Third Partymas gets that offer too.

So, day 12 is shaping up to have a handful of prizes. :D

Thanks to everyone for their generous support!

Eh, you get used to it.

[Itchy]

Figures that I ALSO got a 1 the day before the low roll wins, then I get a 17. o_O Congrats to all the winners so far! Thanks taig for your generosity!

[JGray]

Actually, lets expand that. We should reward those who shoot for the middle. The average gamer who doesn't roll too high or too low!

Anyone who rolls a natural 10 for the rest of the contest can PM me and get a Letters from the Flaming Crab book (that would be their choice of Winged Cavalry, Culinary Magic, Haunted Places, or Wheel of the Year) of their choice.

[Ragadolf]

And the generosity keeps rolling in!

Sort of like my mediocre rolls,... ;P

Gratz to Malwing, and gratz to all contributors making the Third Partymas such a,... party! :)

"Roll on MacDuff! And Fie on he who first cries, 'My die sucks'!" ;)

(Yeah, I take liberties with my mis-quotes. I have 3 degrees in theatre. So sue me.) ;)

But no "taking 10". :)

Thank you once again for you generosity!

[Patrick Curtin]

Taig you are a generous soul. Merry Badgermas!

[captain yesterday]

Oh! Can that be a new holiday, maybe have a holiday hobby hunter you maul on Christmas morning, followed by a grumpy stroll around the neighborhood pissing everywhere (If anyone asks "i'm marking my territory, deal with it!") With a long nap to top it all off.

[terraleon]

And Malwing's is sent!

-Ben.

[taig]

Huzzah! Thank you very much, Ben!

[taig]

Day 6 roll-off:

Thanael: 1d20 ⇒ 9
Lorathorn: 1d20 ⇒ 2

[taig]

After a slightly less-than-impressive pair of rolls, Thanael ekes out the win.

[JGray]

Whack-a-Rogue and Changing Man, send me a private message with emails and your choice of Letters from the Flaming Crab book and I'll get those to you.
