Prizes
You can enter as many times as you like. You can put all your entries in one reply as a list, or come back later and make more replies.

There are three prizes up for grabs. I'll randomly draw three winners. First winner drawn takes their pick of prize. Second winner chooses from the remaining two prizes. Third winner gets the third prize.

1. Demonplague PDF Package: The full level 1-20 adventure with all the bonus loot.
2. A 3D printed dice tower: I had this specially printed for the giveaway. Check out the folding drawbridge!
3. Dungeon map dice bag: I had this specially made for the giveaway by a local Edmonton lady. I purchased cool dungeon map fabric, and she made me a fantastic dice bag with inner lining and drawstring. You might find a dice or two inside when you open it.

I'll close the giveaway on May 10, Mother's Day.
