[COMPETITION] Talk To The Hand...


January 16 marks the sixth bloggerversary of HeroPress and so, ahead of that auspicious date, I'm launching a competition for all my readers.

All I am asking is for you to come up with a background for the creature pictured above (which has been knocking around on my hard drive for years). Is it a supervillain (or hero), a post-apocalyptic mutation, a  monster from the land of nightmares, an alien invader...? It's up to you!

If you are a gamer, some statistics would be nice (any system), but if you are not, it doesn't matter. I'm not expecting doctoral length essays, of course, just a few entertaining paragraphs.

Please send your submissions to acrobatic (dot) flea (at) gmail (dot) com by noon on Wednesday, January 30.

After that date I shall choose the winner, and runner-up, and publish their entries in due course.

The main winner will get their pick of the two prizes on offer, the runner-up will get the remaining prize.

And the prizes?


Either a brand new copy of ICONS!, Steve Kenson's delightful, streamlined superheroes roleplaying game or a sealed DVD of With Great Power... The Stan Lee Story (please note this is a Region One encoded DVD, so you will need to be in the US of A, or the owner of a multi-region DVD player, to view it).

I am willing to post either prize anywhere on the globe, at my expense, so don't let geographical boundaries discourage you from entering!

  3. There's something about that picture, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

    1. I can't believe it either - it feels like I've only been doing for a few months! I hope to see entries from you and Tim in due course ;-)
