F:AT Presents the SUMMONER WARS Design-a-Mercenary Contest!!!
There Will Be Games

HERE IT IS, folks, the opportunity of a lifetime. Fortress: Ameritrash, in conjunction with Plaid Hat Games is offering you a chance to design a card for their great SUMMONER WARS game. Yes, that's right. Your name in lights. More than that, it is your chance to do F:AT proud and show the world what we're all about- awesomeness in gaming.

See, Colby Dauch (aka screamingtruth), the game's designer, came to me and said "Barnes, I just have no idea what to do next. We've got these VANGUARDS and FALLEN KINGDOM expansion sets coming out for SUMMONER WARS and I'm drawing a blank on new mercenary cards for future sets. I'm totally out of ideas! I mean, I've got an evil swordsman made of rutabagas and a halfling that attacks with felicitous rejoinders, but I have no idea where to take this thing. Can F:AT come to my rescue?"

"Yes, Colby. We will do you proud" was my response. So now, I pass the buck on to you, F:AT. But fret not, this is a mercenary gig so there is compensation. Yes, marvelous prizes, worldwide renown, and the accolades of many beautiful women*. Even better, the best submitted unit will actually put into production as part of the SUMMONER WARS world.

Now, this is a contest so there's rules. And there are as such.

Design a mercenary unit for SUMMONER WARS. Come up with a physical description of the unit (such as "made of rutabagas") as well as the unit's attack value, life points, summon cost and special ability (such as "attacks with felicitous rejoinders"). Submit this entry along with your name and shipping address via email to Colby at Plaidhatgames.com on or before March 1st.

But Barnes, say you. I haven't played SUMMONER WARS. Well, that's a tragic mistake. But you can correct it by taking a look at the rulebook over that at Plaid Hat Games' website. It ain't hard. Besides, if you win, you get a couple of copies of the game so you can rectify your lapse in gaming judgment.

Now, the prizes.

1st Place: Your design goes into production and you get 5 copies of whatever product it appears in. You also receive 2 copies of each of the Starter Sets and 2 copies of each of the upcoming Vanguards Faction Pack and Fallen Kingdom Faction Pack.

2nd Place: 1 copy of each of the Starter Sets and 1 copy of the upcoming Vanguards Faction Pack and Fallen Kingdom Faction Pack.

3rd Place: 1 copy of each of the Starter Sets.

The future release prizes will be sent upon their release.

So there it is F:AT. Our first big contest. Do us proud. Make your mark on gaming history. Discuss at leisure below. But you're not going to get any of my ideas.

Legal crap: By submitting an entry to this contest you are granting all intellectual property and copyrights for your entry to plaidhatgames.com.

Sometime in the early 1980s, MichaelBarnes’ parents thought it would be a good idea to buy him a board game to keep him busy with some friends during one of those high-pressure, “free” timeshare vacations. It turned out to be a terrible idea, because the game was TSR’s Dungeon! - and the rest, as they say, is history. Michael has been involved with writing professionally about games since 2002, when he busked for store credit writing for Boulder Games’ newsletter. He has written for a number of international hobby gaming periodicals and popular Web sites. From 2004-2008, he was the co-owner of Atlanta Game Factory, a brick-and-mortar retail store. He is currently the co-founder of FortressAT.com and Nohighscores.com as well as the Editor-in-Chief of Miniature Market’s Review Corner feature. He is married with two childen and when he’s not playing some kind of game he enjoys stockpiling trivial information about music, comics and film.
