The Winning Storytelling Competition Entries Are…

The new year is upon us, which means we’re just a few weeks away from the book nearing publication.

Before we get there, though, I wanted to announce the winners of our storytelling contest. The top 3 will receive a signed, print version of the book (and an eBook), and the 4th and 5th place winners will also receive a copy of the eBook.

While this sounds cliched, we really did have some great entries in our little competition (and we had a few stories given to us that people didn’t want entered). Personally I hate making decisions like this, but that’s how the dice are rolled.

Without further ado, The Top 3 entries, in no particular order:

• Brian Green’s “Their Adventure Continues to This Day” was just the kind of happy love story that makes for a great end of the year read:
• Marcin’s “The Last Game” was a heartfelt, melancholy story that reminds us to enjoy the moments that we have.
• Chuck Hagerman’s “The Tarnished Paladin” reminds us just how much control DMs have over their games. (Also: bonus points for playing the game over the phone!)

Our Honorable Mention, in no particular order:

• Nick Monitto’s “Bic and the Bear“
• Lindsay Bard’s “Cats: They Burn Stuff“

Thanks to everyone who entered the competition, retweeted it, shared it on Facebook, and generally have been supportive as we head towards launch. Even if you didn’t win, you can still purchase your own copy of the book AND receive it before it hits retail shelves.
