Gamers' Plane 3 Year Anniversary

Because Gleam is limiting how many people I can give prizes to, I'll do my best to distribute them as best as I can. And because Gleam is limiting how many entries I can make without paying, I implore you to check out all the groups donating prizes. They're doing so because they support RPGs and want to make the RPG world a better place. I asked if they wanted to help, and they graciously agreed. The last you can do is check out their sites, follow them on Twitter, etc.

BattleBards
BattleBards is a great group making fantastic audio, from clips to longer tunes, to help bring your tabletop games to life. Be sure to visit their Twitter and Facebook.

Easy Roller Dice Co
Simply put, Easy Roller Dice Co makes amazing, affordable dice. Their recent gunmetal dice sets are easily my current favorites. Be sure to visit their Twitter and Facebook.

Modiphius Entertainment
Modiphius Entertainment is a maker of great RPG games, including Conan, Achtung! Cthulhu, the now in beta Star Trek Adventures, and more!

Rich Howard
Good friend Rich Howard is just a brilliant man, trying to make his way as an RPG developer. Working on a variety of projects, his recent Alchemist class for DnD 5e would be fun for any player (or a great NPC for any GM)! Go follow him on Twitter, you won't regret it. He's part of a brilliant podcast, the Whelmed Podcast.

Whipstache, aka Ryan Hennesy
Ryan Hennesy is not only a super compassionate person, he's a great designer. Just because he can, he's offering a private commission for a custom fantasy map, based on a rough sketch of yours! Go follow him on Twitter and check out his site.


Active Gamers' Plane members!
If you signed up for Gamers' Plane before December 1, 2016 and made at least one post between January 1, 2016 and December 1, 2016, make a post on this thread, and I'll pick five of you to choose what prizes you want first.

Happy birthday, GP, and thank you to all the donors!

Whoop, happy birthday!

Whoop!

Happy Birthday GamersPlane

That's an amazing contest! Which is fitting for such an amazing site! Kudos to you, Keleth, for 3 years of creating a fantastic community and the best PbP site I've ever used!

Never been on a pbp site that had a contest like this- amazing!

Happy 3rd year GP!

Happy Birthday GP!

Happy birthday to the best PbP community in the multiverse!

Happy Birthday GP!

Happy birthday! I love this site.

3 years and so many games later. Great job Keleth

Great job with the site. Looking forward to many years to come.

Congrats on the birthday!

Whoot happy BDAY GP

Hobbit birthday!

Woot, woot, what a great set of supporters to help celebrate such a great milestone!

I am an active member, and I love it!

Happy birthday to GP! This is a super awesome contest :)

Happy Birthday GP, and thanks Keleth for all you do!

Your link for the set of gunmetal dice leads to the set of 150 dice...

Oops, thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix it now.

This is one hell of a contest!

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy BD GP! I'm so glad I found this site!

Look! It's our Andorran Tactical Officer. Ensign, we have hostiles inbound! :)

What a great contest! Congrats, man!

NICE!! Way to go GP.

Wow, happy B-day, GP! Thanks, Keleth, for such an amazing site and thanks to the whole community for being so welcoming and positive. The giveaway is an awesome idea and I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of it.

Pretty cool beans, Keleth! Thanks!

Thanks to the generous Ryan Hennesy, we have another prize! He'll do a custom 5"x7" or 6"x6" black and white map based on your own sketch!

Happy Birthday GP! Here's to many more years of good times!

Happy Birthday!

Congrats on 3 years, GP!

I am not lying, I have hastily given up on other sites- even the one that I once co-moderated to be here. This site is unparalleled in its simplicity and clarity. Most sites you have to either hunt for your game or divine in order to post- not this one.

One thing I must ask, if we have over 400 entries, does that mean we have over 400 playing?

Each person can have up to 10 entries in the contest, so I'd guess about 50 people have done it so far

Yup, 10 if you're a GP member who's posted in the past year (and didn't lie on the answer, which I can check). So between 40 and 80 people, probably leaning to 50-60. For 16 prizes. You have a good chance of winning something.

Hey, awesome! I didn't know the site had been around for three years and I'm glad I found it.

Nuns I envy your icon

Happy Birthday, Gamersplane! Thanks to the donors and a great community.

Sounds good to me.
Happy B Day GP

To another year!

So far, only 36 GP members have posted to this thread. Do people not want free stuff? :p

You snooze, you lose :p

Guess not. Hey, more free shit for me!

Oh I totally blanked on the must post in this thread part :o I should start reading stuff properly instead of skimming over posts in between other stuff.

And thanks again Keleth, for nurturing this growing community. The best place to experience PbP. I don't think I would have started doing PbP without GP. All the other forums I've come over seemed so clunky and uninviting, so it's nice to find a good home here :)

Well, if you signed up through Gleam, you could still win, but I'll be giving away prizes to active GP members first.

Happy birthday GP

Happy birthday, love what goes on here!

I think I posted in this thread already -- but just in case... :)

Happy b-day, great PBP site!

Yeah, happy birthday GP. Really nice site you got here Kel. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on this project turning three! After time on a few other sites for PbP gaming, this is my favorite (and only) place for the format.

me! me!

Love the site! Here's to many more years to come!

I'm new here, but this site has truly given me my first real chance to roleplay. Living such a hectic life makes scheduling difficult, but I've not had as Mich as I have in the past few weeks. Thank you so much.

Happy Birthday. 3 years is like 21 in dog years, and that's a long time.

Happy birthday GP! Thanks for getting me into actually playing D&D after all this time.

Happy birthday and yaaaaa free stuff.

Oi! Thanks for being so responsive to the needs of the community! I love what GP allows for our campaign.

Hi guise!

Happy birthday, may the Force be with you....always....

With the contest over, I've started reaching out to the winners, in the order they're picked!

Congratulations Winners !!!

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to Keleth and all the doners!

Congrats!

To be fair, don't get discouraged yet.. I've picked the winners from this thread, but I'll be reaching out to them one by one.

If you're having trouble finding a way to tell me about all of the things I won you can just give it to me straight. I can handle it. :-)

Super sad I missed this. I have my game forums up on my phone but never check the cover page. I guess I need to start doing that.
Regardless, I really love this site. It makes DMing a little easier for me. You get time to prepare and double check lore of your world or past events before posting.

Ditto! :)

Congratulations all winners!

so I guess all the prizes have been given away?

Not yet! So far, 2 prizes have been claimed. Plus, we got two more prizes thanks to Choasium coming in at the last minute!

I mean has everyone who won been reached out to?

Nope, only 3. Each person is getting to choose their rewards in order of selection. Once we get out of the holiday season (Jan 2nd), I'll be giving people 3 days to claim their prize, then move on to the next.

How many winners were there? Do you know when we can safely assume you have reached out to all of them?

I'll send a message when everyone's responded. We have 16 prizes still remaining!

Wow! What great support from the greater community!

Luckily yes. He tried reaching me via e-mail first, but I never received that particular e-mail (had my inbox have some rare farts like this in the past, it does not happens often, but it does happen, which is annoying...), so he contacted me via PM here instead.

I just got my email yesterday. I am feeling the love and sending it right back. You guys are awesome! Thanks again Keleth!

Thanks for everything Keleth! I got my email and sent it back already.

HBD GP!

Fingers crossed anyway! Congrats to everyone that won and thanks for the chance

Guys and gals, please be sure to check your emails and PMs! I've reached out to a few people who haven't gotten back to me, forcing me to move further down the list, which means if you do respond later, you may not get the prize you want if there are any left at all! At least one person who responded to this thread recently is among those!

You got my answer, right?

Yup, you're good.

Did you get mine?

Yup. I have down the details for everyone who's responded to at least my first contact attempt. There are people I've reached out to who haven't responded (now up to 2), and if they don't respond soon, I'll have to move on :(

Can we volunteer to "sacrifice for the good of the community" and take the arduous burden and responsibility of their prizes in their stead? xD

I win! Call of Cthulu is mine!!!! Thanks GP!

A lot of people haven't responded, so this is all taking far longer than I hoped.

I find this hard to fathom!

I have no problem sacrificing myself to get a second prize... for the good of the community, of course... :P

Yes, me neither. Feel free to burden me with any number of additional prizes! :-D

I guess you can go back to the top for another round?

you got my address, right?

Yup. The only people I'm not confirmed for are people I've reached out to multiple times by email and PM.

are you going to let us know when you mail our swag? tracking numbers and such?

Yup, sorry, been a bit lazy the last two weeks on shipping. I'm going to be taking some pictures of the swag on Wednesday, and prep shipping. Shipping out 12 boxes when you have no boxes is actually much harder than I expected... I don't have any boxes the right size, it's a lot of stuff to make sure I don't send the wrong person the wrong stuff, etc.

I wouldn't give anything to be a philanthropist.

After an unfortunately long time, all the physical prizes, except the Tunnels and Trolls books, are shipped. Everyone in the US should get them in the next few days/week, and my one international winner, I'm not sure, depends how fast it'll pass customs. There are still a handful of prizes, and people aren't responding. I'm gonna try to reach out to a few more e potential winners, and I'd no one takes, first come first served (non winners only, no doubling prizes if you've already won).

Not trying to rush you at all, but if it was just PDF should I have received it? Just want to make sure I didn't miss it. Maybe I need to check my spam or something.

All pdfs should have been sent out. If you didn't get it, please email me and I'll see what happened.

As people receive physical prizes, if you don't mind, take pictures and share them! If you prefer not to, no worries, I respect your privacy. I'm know Easy Roller Dice Co would love to see you with your winnings!

No one seems to be responding to the last prize, so here's what we'll do. Anyone who was eligible for the original contest can respond to this thread with a desire for the prize, and I'll pick a winner out of you guys. You have two days! The last prize:

- PDF of the Call of Cthulhu Keeper Rulebook from Chaosium

I will take it!

eh, I'll throw my hat in

Pick me! Pick me! ;)

Ummm, yes please! That would rock!

Damn, the one thing I don't need! Good luck guys, count me out Keleth!`

OH mememememememem!

I'm in!

Forget those other people. Give it to me!!

I wouldn't turn it down!

Also, for those people who won prizes and got them, please do tell us! Pictures if you don't mind! Show off your goodies!

I won a prize -- but the thing I'm going to use it on hasn't released yet! I promise a picture as soon as it does!

I have dice! But I'm not sure where to host the image...

This site is pretty simple and doesn't require any signup.

I used to use postimg, but now I use imgur.com - I can sign in with my gmail account, makes it super easy.

Glorious dice! Sorted by color, of course.

"Fixed"

To post an image, you want the .jpg link.

Same image, different link.

Did I inadvertently give you a neat dice box?

Take 2! And yes, I will be keeping the bonus box as well.

Reminds me, I received my gunmetal dice last week. They're neat. Except that the 16 on the d20 is a bit misprinted, but nothing too disastrous. Once you've spotted the 18, it becomes obvious that this number is supposed to be a 16... Also, those things are heavy! I was expecting heavy dice, but man...
