Truly, the dice roller is fickle in her affections. ;)

Gratz Thanael, Whack-a-rogue & Changing Man! :)

[JTStorm]

An 18 yesterday, and a 1 today. Yep, just like when I play! :)

[Tacticslion]

Ack! I miss this for a couple of days and... nothing changes for me! Sweet!

Congrats to all the winners! (And winning losers who are now winners again, due to the incredible generosity of everyone!)

Sorry I can't name you all by name... I was planning on it, but then there's too many, due to SUPER AMAZING GENEROSITY EXPLOSION! Woo~!

And congrats - and incredible thanks - to taig, and to all the third party publishers! You guys are amazing!

As a reminder to everyone:

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!

Thank you all for your generosity... you guys rock!

The dice roller was generous to Crai, GM Hands of Fate, Flame Effigy, Ken Pawlik, and master4sword, who can PM JGray for a PDF from Flaming Crab.

[PathlessBeth]

Congratulations MoFiddy!
I downloaded Kaiju Codex. According to my longstanding^* reviewing policy, it will become eligible for my review in March, after I've had time to fully process it. Thanks for doing this!

*since like, six months ago.

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.

Woohoo! I got a Natural 10 tonight! I'll PM JGray tonight to request his recently published (and appropriately thematic for the current Holiday Season) ...

Letters from the Flaming Crab: Wheel of the New Year

In appreciation of Flaming Crab Games' generous gift, I'll post a review of it by 12/25 (all of my previous 3PP reviews have been posted within the time frame that I promise). This release looks very, very cool! Plus, I've been on a Flaming Crab Games roll lately having recently picked up a bunch of their über-goodies (Haunted Places, Summon Undead, Spell Staff, etc).

*****************

Also, a quick heads-up for y'all. Mike Welham (aka Taig, the Original Poster of this thread) is one of my fave Pathfinder 3PP designers. Coincidentally, I PM'ed him about 3 weeks ago to talk about 2 PDFs he wrote for Rite Publishing ... #30 Manuals of Improvement and #30 More Manuals of Improvement. He was a pleasure to talk with and very helpful in answering my questions. I highly recommend you check-out both of these well-balanced and creatively-designed supplemental books. Even the esteemed Endzeitgeist rated them at 4+ stars.

Happy Holidays to all of you!

“God does not play dice with the universe. Cosmo does: loaded dice, that roll under the couch or your cat bats under the fridge. Occasionally He'll even leave a d4 that you find by stepping on with a bare foot in the dark.”

[N. Jolly]

This seems pretty cool, I'd like to get in on this if I could. I've just recently gotten into 3P, so really, thanks for being chill and doing something like this.

[French Wolf]

This is so cool. Love to join, happy to review (especially Raging Swan) and more than happy to wish you guys a Merry Christmas for this.

Much appreciated.

Thank you for the kind words, Craig!

Our conversation actually helped provide the impetus for this giveaway.

[JonathonWilder]

Dang, a 12 this time around, maybe tomorrow.

[JGray]

Crai, GM Hands of Fate, Flame Effigy, Ken Pawlik, and master4sword!

Congratulations!

Remember, I'll need your email address as well as your choice of which Letters from the Flaming Crab book you want. There are four: Winged Cavalry (contains an alt cavalier class specializing in flying mounts as well as new flying mounted combat rules and cavalier orders), Culinary Magic (a brand new magic system for making magical meals), Haunted Places (new haunts and corresponding archetypes), and Wheel of the Year (an exploration of traditional pagan holidays in a fantasy setting).

PM me with that info and I can send one to you.

Thanks!

[master4sword]

Lots of interesting choices, but I see flying mounts being useful in my campaign so Winged Cavalry wasn't too hard a choice.

Guess I'll be doing my first review before too terribly long. ;)

And thanks again to everyone involved with this, you're all awesome.

[Ragadolf]

Gratz to the lucky ducks,

Still 5 more days to bribe the dice,... I mean try my luck! ;P

Happy pre-holiday weekend to all!

[taig]

[Lathiira]

Congrats to the new winners! Four days left :)

[PathlessBeth]

Congratulations to Lady Dragona!

[Changing Man]

Congrats to everyone who has won thus far! This is so awesome!

[JonathonWilder]

The dice gods toy with me... congratulations to the winners!

[Tacticslion]

Congratulations, ladydragona, and all the nat' 10 rollers!

(Also, does Kyudoka get something for his natural 13, or was that used up? I'm afraid I'm not sure - couldn't keep track of all of the awesome generosity!)

[taig]

I think it had to be a natural 13 on a roll-off.

[Maneuvermoose]

There has been an Awakening!
The Dice Gods are strong with this one....

It's true, it's all true.

This Third Partymas...

[taig]

Lorathorn does not have to be involved in a roll-off today and wins Day 9's drawing!

It also looks like Itchy and Sqwonk can PM their DTRPG email address to JGray for a PDF from Flaming Crab.

[Isuru]

Up for another person taking up a day? How about natural 11* (or closest to it plus/minus roll off) for the 11th day?

Have the winner PM me and I'll gift them a PDF of their choice according to the rules Taig outlined in this thread (publishers listed or those who offered at the set limit in the OP).

Just someone who enjoys 3PP stuff immensely and tries to support them whenever I can.

*Actually have a character who has one trick and rolling 11 has made the character contribute meaningful a surprising number of times. This is for those characters.

To help make the final day (the 12th day) more epic than it is, I'll also like to add to the holiday haversack. Anyone who rolls a 2 (or second to dead last, with roll off as there can only be one) will get a random PDF gift based on their choice of publisher (as those listed in this thread). That is the winner picks the publisher, I'll gift them a PDF from that publisher's products (don't worry I'll clear it with the winner first in case of duplication in their library).

'Cause 2s, causing non-critical, less memorable failures since ... forever.

[Kobold Catgirl]

A one? A ONE?!

Okay, Taig, clearly you aren't using the special dice I sent you for my rolls. Pretty rude. Not very Christmassy of you. Let me just...

4d20 ⇒ (3, 16, 3, 15) = 37

Uh...haha! Silly me. Those weren't the right dice.

4d20 ⇒ (7, 10, 11, 18) = 46

Grr...just...

1d20 ⇒ 20

HA! There! That one! Use that one!

Spoiler:

But seriously, congrats to the mighty Lorathorn for winning the drawing without contest!

[johnnythexxxiv]

Kobold Cleaver, don't feel bad, I've gotten ones twice now :P

On a related note, does that mean that I'll get two entries into Jason's hardcover give away since the dice gods hate me that much?

Taig - and everyone else - again, thank you SO MUCH for being so awesome. If I ever reverse engineer your IP address to find out where you live, you'll be sure to get a nice hot cup of coffee waiting for you when you open the door.

[Ken Pawlik]

I didn't check the boards for a couple days and it turns out I've won a Letter from the Flaming Crab! Congratulations to all the winners so far, and thank you so much to Taig, Terraleon and all the publishers who've chipped prizes in so far; all this generosity is awesome. Merry third-partymas everyone!

[Thanael]

Every nat 1 is a potential Legendary HC winner...

Huh, didn't know that. That's pretty nice. Guess I got a shot at that then. Congrats to all the winners so far, I've been on Paizo forever but this is the first time I've ever noticed something like this going on, and it's really quite nice.

[JGray]

Actually, I'm sending the PDFs directly. Alex controls the DriveThru account, not me, and he's a busy crab right now. :) So, any email address will do.

[JonathonWilder]

Three days left, hmm... congratulations on the winners!

[Thewms]

Is it too late to join this party? I want in!

Thanks, Isuru! I'll take 11 (or the closest to it) as the winner for Day 11. The roll-off, if necessary, will also be closest to 11.

Day 12 is looking pretty darn great.
