Post 5k - NTRPG Con Swag Giveaway - US Only (NTRPG Con Day 1)
So, your mom wouldn't let you attend NTRPG Con because of all the "undesirables" in attendance. Or your job wouldn't give you the time off to game and drink. Finances were short this year and the economy is still in the crapped despite what the government says.
Well, you too can have a set of NTRPG Con swag (sans Attendee Badge, as I need that to do Con Things.)
How can you get this awesome set of swag?
First, you MUST have a US shipping address. I'd go broke shipping outside the states.
Second, comment on this very post before 1159 Friday Night, June 5th, 2015 (tomorrow.)
Third - be lucky. I'm only picking one person for the swag.
edit - Fouth - you can't be a NTRPG Con attendee - let others play ;)
I MAY add a thing or two from the con inside this package. I will throw in a Far Away Land Quickstart Rule booklet and a beer mat with grid, because that's the kinda guy I am.
Oh, did I mention? Happy 5,000th post to The Tavern? Woot!

Congratulations, Tenkar! I'm reading your blog for just over a year and a half now, and enjoy it very much.
ReplyDeletePS: I'm not participating in the contest (no US address).
i really wish i could ship outside the states, but the cost is insane.
DeleteCongrats on the 5,000th. Quite the achievement. I enjoy your work very much.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the con, I'm there in spirit only. Look for Stan Shinns Classic Traveller game, it looks awesome.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. THE DICE BAG ALONE IS AWESOME...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWell, here's to luck!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 5k achievement! Count me in as I haven't been to a Con in about 20 years and don't really have any prospects of one anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 5000 posts. Enjoy the con and ignore my jealousy.
ReplyDeleteAs Matt said, here's to luck!
Crossing fingers... Here's to luck... PLEEASE...! ;)
DeleteComment to win it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 5000 !!! Been a fun ride so far here at the Tavern !!! I'm looking forward to 5000 more.

ReplyDelete5000 posts! Huzzah!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 5k Erik.
ReplyDeletethat's a cool thing to do. I am deserving because a coworker is already posting pics, and my jealousy save was a fumble.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. I think I've only been around for 2,000 of them.
ReplyDeleteLike a few others, its been decades since I;ve been able to get to a con. Have fun.
Cheers.
Way to stick with it!
ReplyDeleteWoot, loot!
ReplyDeletewhoohoo 5k! That bag sure could hold a lot of dice.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Really hope I'm able to make it next year!
ReplyDeleteThat IS an awesome dicebag, and I do still bear the shame as having grown up in the same city as Gencon and having never attended that or ANY gaming con: In the name of The Swag That Might Have Been Had I But Known Better, I shall try my luck . . .
ReplyDeleteYEEEEEAAAAH!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! :)
ReplyDeleteNeat, count me in. One day I'll make it out to NTRPG. But first I need to find some people that would rather attend that than GenCon.
ReplyDeleteI never get to go anywhere *sniff* so I could use the swag so I could at least pretend I went. :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 5000!
ReplyDeleteCount me in. Thanks!
From one Erik to another, have a great time there and hopefully I'll get to TX one of these days
ReplyDeleteI would love to pretend like I went someplace.
ReplyDelete...and congrats on the 5k milestone
Deleteroll some "20's" for me!
ReplyDeleteCan't even express how much I wish I could be there!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the con and pick me!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 5,000th post. And thanks for all the updates on the convention...sounds like you're having fun, and I'm enjoying just following all your convention posts.

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Hope everyone is having fun.
ReplyDeleteTossing my name into the hat.

ReplyDeleteHappy 5k, Mr. Bartender - and yay for swag!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the big 5000, Erik! That's quite the feat!
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the community you've brought together in the Tavern and the discussions you have, especially over wayward Kickstarters. The giveaways don't hurt either! :)
One day I'll get a chance to go to this con.
ReplyDeleteHooray for 5000!
ReplyDeleteHappy 5,000th...and here's to many more!

ReplyDeleteHappy 5000!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I almost missed this one.
ReplyDeleteHappy 5,000th! And I live in Dallas and, yes, I couldn't get off of work to go 30 lousy miles to a great con. Glad someone can have fun there, though!
ReplyDeleteOne of the neatest giveaways yet!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Happiness and Joy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 5000, and count me in on the swag!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on hitting 5K and here's to another 5000!!

Hopefully I will get to go next year, but until then...
Congratulations on 5000 posts, I really enjoy your work here.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun gaming convention.
ReplyDeleteHmm, last comment did not seem to work. Let's try this again! Congratulations on your milestone! I also hope you have a fun time at the convention. One day I hope to get down to this one, as I have relatives who live in the northish area of Texas.
ReplyDeleteWoot is right! I wish I could have gone.
ReplyDeleteI love swag!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the Con, man!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the prize?
ReplyDeleteI need more swag
