    So excited! I love RPGs and not only design them, but administer them therapeutically!
  • RanshiRanshi
    Ok... When I read Big Prizes, I don't think THIS Big! I AM SO IN!!!

    @murkletins

    Does the character have to originate from an RPG series? For example, Batman and associated villians/heroes since Batman has had several RPG games
  • RanshiRanshi
    @bnew07, I think it has to have started in an RPG. Otherwise, movies are all fair game.

    @murkletins, I submitted my old entries to the nature thing. I will submit a few new ones later.
    Here are my old entries for this one.

    It's not based on a character per say, but it is based on these guys from Dark Souls.

    Artorias, from the Dark Souls series.

    Important Question:
    Does Metroid count as an RPG? If not, I will change this entry to one from another thing.

    By the way, sorry for the delayed response, I had a rough sleep.

    @Ranshi922
    It doesn't have to be a playable character. So that works out perfectly.

    @bnew07
    I feel it should've started in an RPG, but could've begun with books for example. Such as the Witcher series. Which this contest was initially themed around, before making it more general.

    Got it, thanks!

    No worries, I just want it to be focused more around an RPG, than just licensed movie characters.
  • murkletinsmurkletins
    Bump.

    Since I am an avid D&D player, I had to create these five guys and ladies.

    @Mila

    Just a friendly reminder, the link you sent isn't a valid link for myself to view at least. You may want to edit your comment or post another comment with the functioning link.

    Otherwise, the community can't vote on your cards at the end of the contest.

    Sorry for any inconvenience!

    @murkletins Would you consider a MOBA with attribute stats an RPG?
  • murkletinsmurkletins
    @MonkeyPirate2002
    Sure, they are themed around RPGs usually.
  • MonkeyPirate2002MonkeyPirate2002
    Alright then, here's old card number one:

    Just to check, Pokemon (the main series games) is an RPG right?
  • murkletinsmurkletins
    @Arceus8523
    You are correct. :)
  • RanshiRanshi
    @Arceus8523, the pokemon games are true to form RPGs. The question shouldn't have been asked. XD
  • Arceus8523Arceus8523
    @Ranshi922

    I certainly didn't think it would have to be, but I wanted to be extra sure!
  • RanshiRanshi
    @Arceus8523, it was a joke. You've known me on this site longer than almost any other user; I thought you'd have a grip on my humor.
  • murkletinsmurkletins
    By the way, I'll announce later how we are gonna vote on cards entered. So be hyped as you all get the choice rather than myself. I'll just be a tiebreaker in that case.
  • Arceus8523Arceus8523
    @Ranshi922

    I figured as much, but you made a good point.
  • RanshiRanshi
    @murkletins, when is the contest through?
  • murkletinsmurkletins
    @Ranshi922
    It ends on the 21st of March. Then I'll give 4 days to vote. So as many people can as possible, without dragging it out.
  • RanshiRanshi
    Ok.

    The big beast is typically a motif in RPGs. There are also dinos in the Monster Hunter games. My brothers got killed a bunch by them.

    Future Voting Announcement:

    Voting for this contest will start on March 22, 2019. Then will last until March 25, 2019. Afterwards, I'll compile the results.

    Voting Instructions:
    1) Requirement of voting on at least 3 cards, for ease of accounting later.
    2) Each cardsmith who does so, receives a free vote on each of their cards from us.
    3) The cards with the highest votes will be brought to myself or a special co-judge depending on how things go.
    4) The winner will then be decided.

    Firstly, the reason for this system is to promote voting so I can get good judgement on the community preference. As well as, be able to measure things easier.

    We will update you along the way and post this message towards the end of the contest for your convenience.
