Old West Quick Draw Contest!

I have two unclaimed $16 gift codes for the first two lucky winners to post here! Two people never responded so it's time to give them away now that things have calmed down. Are you quickest to the draw? Post up even after the first two, if they go unclaimed your next! Keep an eye out for announcements here!

These gift codes are the price of one blister and shipping to most areas or it can be applied to a larger order including the Tri-City Laser buildings!

I hope to finally mail off the two other prizes as well as I have been busy at work and on Saturday that has made it hard to get to the Post Office. I have no forgotten my winners!

Old West for the New Year: Gamers Gold Giveaway Winners!

First, I want to thank everyone that entered and I am going to compile the list of links and a few others to a secondary page and post it later on as a great reference point for Old West Materials and inspiration.

I gave everyone a number and hit the random number generator and the winners are!

Rebel  Miniatures Blister: Colgar6

Knuckleduster $16 Voucher: Rob_Jedi

Knuckleduster $16 Voucher 2: WhiskeyRat

Knuckleduster $16 Voucher 3: quix42

Tri-City Laser Building: Black Smoke

Please contact me at patrickballinger(at)yahoo.com if you are a winner and please label the header that you are a contest winner so I don't delete your or if it ends up in the SPAM box I can save it before deleting it. Just identify who you are and I'll get you setup with your prizes!

Congrats to the winners and maybe next time to those that didn't win this time around!

Voucher codes will be forwarded (via email) (Forrest set the amount to cover the cost of one blister and to help with shipping or can be applied to a bigger purchase like one of the new Tri-City Laser buildings) and the MDF building and blister will be mailed (so in your case please provide me your mailing address to ship your winnings). If items are left unclaimed for 2 weeks, I will redraw a new winner from the list of those that didn't win the first time around.

Congrats to the winners! Keep an eye out as I will no doubt be throwing out some other random contests in the future!

Also, a huge thanks to (and in no specific order):
Knuckleduster Miniatures
Tri-City Laser Buildings (ready to purchase at Knuckleduster Miniatures website!)
Rebel Miniatures

Just a few days left to enter!

Unless there is a good reason to extend the contest, it will end on the 31st of January!  With the winners walking away with goodies!

Old West for the New Year: Gamers Gold Giveaway and Contest!

 

 

Well, it is a new year and a fresh start! So, time for the Old West for the New Year: Gamers Gold Giveaway and Contest! I had hoped to do this a few months back around the blog birthday in October as well as hitting a landmark posting! 

Alas, things do not go as planned between the holidays and my mother went back into the hospital late November to have a tumor removed from the brain about the size of a small grapefruit. It has been a rough couple of weeks and a suck ass holiday season for me. I hate myself for being behind on projects including this giveaway that many kind people donated to. Still, the new year gave me a cool contest name excuse in any case!

I do want to give a huge thanks to:

Tri-City Laser Buildings (Check out Knuckleduster as their official retailer)

Knuckleduster (A maker of reasonable priced old west figs of great quality)

Rebel Miniatures (they make a little of everything!)

Check out their links that are on my blog as thanks!

I know, shut the hell up and tell you guys how to win some loot! So here are the rules!

1. Be a follower to the blog and post up here you would like to enter the contest for the drawing. I will be giving away 3 $16 vouchers for Knuckleduster (that is enough for a free blister and shipping to most places or a nice discount on a larger item like a Tri-City Laser building) and a blister of Cowboys from Rebel Miniatures. That is 4 chances to win something! I will draw winners on February 1st!
2. To win this nugget of a price: a Tri-City hotel you simply have to post up (with your entry to the drawing) a link to an Old West Article that you want to feature. The winner will be selected on February 1st!

•  This can be from your blog or any other site. 
• This can include rules/miniature/terrain reviews, how to paint, how to build or a game report of an Old West Game but not limited to (these are examples).
• The key is it has to be something Old West to be a legal entry. Anything goes and Aces are wild! So dig up that gold for gamers!

The goal here is to promote anything cool for the Old West that others may not have seen before and expose people to new blogs that feature Old West material. Simply, I want to build up the Old West gaming community! I will collect the links and post them on a secondary page as some cool featured links for Old West gaming. Enjoy and good luck!

Random Ramblings!

Well, just 8 more posts away from hitting the magic 100th post! And of course there will be a contest Old West style! Details are still in the works and already three companies have stepped up to bat offering some goodies to give out! Keep your eye right here for more details.

I just got my shipment the other day from FRP games with a pack of Old Glory Cowboy Wars Tong and a blister of the Secrets of the Third Reich Russian Snipers to work into my Post Apocalyptic models I am building up! I will throw out some quick reviews on both to let people know what to expect from these two companies as I am a first time buyer of both brands.

On Thursday I am taking back out my gang v2 for another round of Blackwater Gulch against Ryan's revamped gang. Should be blood and violent this time around now that we have learned a great deal from the rules. Speaking of rules, they are free to download if you want to try them!

http://www.blackwatergulch.com/

Click on over on my other blog link and help me pick a Blood Bowl Team! I have a great deal of time still, but I will have to order and paint them as well as get a few games in before I consider heading back to Alabama to take on the Rocket City Rumble Blood Bowl game, simply a great group of BB players and the first event I attended was simply amazing as I had a blast. What better than eating pizza, drinking beer and beating the crap out of another team on the pitch????

Captcha Goodbye! Nearing 100 Posts!

First, I have been running a test this past month, nothing official but I shut off Captcha for all my blogs for ease of postings. I got to thinking one day how flipping annoying Captcha is and my only thoughts is the designer should burn in hell for the annoyance.

  

That said, I am leaving it off until I get spam, then worst case I will change to moderator status.

In other news, I am nearing 100 posts for Dice of Legends. So, to celebrate I am working to get a few goodies as prizes. I am thinking a drawing and/or contest of some type to an Old West theme. If you know or are someone that wants to promote something Old West and would like to donate to the prize pool let me know.

Breast Cancer Super Awareness and Contest!

Henry Badger over at at his blog is hosting a new contest:

http://pressganger.blogspot.com/2012/09/paint-city-pink-breast-cancer-awareness.html

Paint a Pulp City (or any other super if you don't have Pulp City like me) miniature and send it in to be voted on for cool prizes. The catch is that is MUST have pink in the colors.

So, don those tights and put on that mask to fight Breast Cancer! Be a Hero....
