I’m surprised at the number of times I’ve been asked to host a DC contest...and by several people, to boot.
So, here it is. My first DC contest...and I intend to make it as fun as I can. And hey, if it’s popular enough, I’ll have another down the road! (Hence the "#1" in the title. )
Some exact details are still to be determined, but here’s what you can expect:
- Several rounds (depending on number of entrants), some with elimination and some without. The rules for each round will be laid out as we come to them, but you can basically expect every-man-for-himself-type rounds, lowest-number-of-votes-eliminated, and in the later rounds, some head-to-head. Basically, your average contest in that regard.
- I may have some card prizes (TBD), and definately some s, but the real prize is that the winning card from each round will be plugged into one of my DC sets! In some cases, they will work pretty much by themselves, but in others, it will be centered around a certain theme and therefore work with my other cards. General knowledge of my sets will be helpful, but is certainly not necessary.
- Cards to be designed will be from various cultures and of various types...no specific theme throughout, like in some contests. Expect the unexpected!
- I’ll repeat again: expect the unexpected! Many of these cards should be pretty easy to understand and design, since I don’t have many new rules in my sets. But some will be wacky enough to make you stop and think, so stay on your toes!
I’ll keep a running tab on participants in this post, starting with myself, of course.

I will allow folks to join up until Friday. The first round or two will probably not be elimination-style, so you can still sign up AFTER Friday if you want, but I’d strongly encourage you to get in by then if you’re interested.
So, who’s with me?
(There. Now certain folks--you know who you are--can stop pestering me about doing this! J/K.) |

Check out Lasting Alliances, The Road Ahead, and Ages of Middle-earth, three of my five dream card sets that make up Wars of the Ring. Oh, and I have a trade list now!
Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North! |

Never kid about politicians. The more bizarre the joke, the more likely it is to come true. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you. |

I’d actually like to give this a try (first time designer and all). Then again I’m supposed to be learning how to be a teacher but I’ll do my best as long as there aren’t too many cards to design (say 1-2/week).
So count me in, I guess,

Riddle 9
When I came to Abraham I let him live just a moment longer. When I came to Moses I saved his life more than once. But the salmon... I regret to say I had a hand in its death.
