The Monster Man Contest: Week 2 Update!

Has it been another week already? The Monster Man contest continues to go full steam ahead. There are nearly two weeks left, so if you haven't come up with a fun monster to enter yet, you've got plenty of time to get your hands on some prizes.

New Sponsor!

I'm pleased to announce that we'll be adding three print copies of Robert "Thorkhammer" Pinnell's Sanctum of the Stone Giant Lord to our prize pool! As you might be able to guess from the title, this module is an unofficial expansion to the classic Against the Giants. This prize comes in partnership with our existing sponsor Chaotic Henchmen Productions!

In other sponsor-related news, did you see that sponsor Grant Howitt's game Honey Heist was on Foreververse? That's pretty cool.

And in yet more sponsor-related news, sponsors Oakbound Studios just released the rulebook and the first few figures for their post-apocalyptic skirmish game, Factious Waste. The digital rulebook is just £3!

Here are some models I painted for the game:

I am not the world's best painter, but I think they look pretty cool. 

Anyway, if you want your models inexpertly painted or your game products enthusiastically plugged, why not become a contest sponsor? There's always room for more!

Charity game stream!

Listener Edwin Nagy and his friends are hosting a 24-hour live RPG stream to raise money for children's charity Extra Life. They'll be running a dungeon crawl for most of the stream, with a Cthulhu interlude, and over the course of the stream they'll be raising money by raffling off some great prizes from sponsors like Chaosium, Frog God Games, Pacesetter, Gallant Knight Games, the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society, and more! It's all going to be at http://twitch.tv/froggodgames starting at 6 PM EST (that's 11 PM GMT) on Friday 17 November.

If you've designed a Monster Man monster and want to inflict it on the players, the DMs will incorporate it into the game for a $5 donation. I'm hoping to have a monster of my own ready for one of those rare chances to send money to a good cause via an act of petty cruelty.
