No Really, Tell Us!
We all love to tell stories about our characters, don’t’ we? Too bad no one ever really likes to hear them though, and while this is true most of the time – this is not one of those times! In partnership with AwesomeDice we are running a contest where two lucky winners will win a set of dice of their choice and a very exclusive Obsidian Portal dice bag! Want in? Listen up and we’ll tell you how.
In the comments below, give us your character’s name, class/type, and a one sentence description OR a one-liner from your character themself. We’re aware not all RPG’s have strict classes, and that’s fine, just give us the gist of what he / she / it does.
You’ll also need to tell us which set of dice from AwesomeDice.com you’d like to win (Q-Workshop dice excluded) that compliments your character the best. Micah and I will be judging the entries based on overall ‘cool factor’ and synergy with the dice you’ve selected.
Prizes & Limitations

Seriously Awesome Dice
Each of the two winners will recieve a single set of dice they selected from AwesomeDice to go with their character: either a standard 7 die, 10d10, 12d6 or 36d6 set excluding Q-Workshop dice. You’ll also be winning one very rare and exclusive Obsidian Portal Dragonchow dice bag.
Remember the dice you pick should display synergy between your character and the dice themselves and that your character description should be no longer than one sentence, OR a one-liner! Unable to follow these simple directions will result in your entry being discarded, please do not write us a novella, we will not have the time to read it.
Based on these synergies and how awesome Micah and I think your character is, we’ll select 2 winners on February 1st. Good luck, and we can’t wait to hear about your characters! No, really!

Class/Type: Sea Titan/Mage (Rifts/Palladium)
Description: Chip is a finely crafted cocktail: 2 parts aesthetic drool, one part self-assured-swagger, and a dash of gutter-charm (using magic doesn’t hurt, either)… in other words, I remain… perfect!
Dice: http://www.awesomedice.com/dice-sets/7-dice-sets/GST9011-9000: Glow in the Dark because i’m from Rifts Earth, Translucent because I’m… y’know… totally see-through. Guile-less.
Name: Usagi
Class/Type: (D&D3.5 – Complete Arcane) Half-Elven Warlock – Magical Girl
Description: When the Warlock powers in her bloodline began to manifest, Usagi didn’t like the dark and evil effects of her abilities, and through sheer force of her bubbly personality she altered the appearance of her powers to pink and rainbows and sparkles, allowing her to become the Hero of Love and Justice she always wanted to be.
Dice: The purple color matches her bubbly personality (pink would be even more appropriate) and the transparent, gem-like quality represents her pure heart, but the sharp edges represent the killer instinct and darkness that she tries to suppress.

I’m so stealing that image! I was going to let folks pull fortune cookie-like bits of info about things their character saw/noticed over an unspecified short period of time (few days/couple weeks) & have them all explain it in a way that their character would have seen, noticed , or be involved in somehow…. Those fortune cookie strips are about to get a whole lot bigger & have an image attached 😛
