Want To Be Inducted Into The Order Of The D30?

Hey gang,

Thought I'd throw out a fun little random drawing for the readers of The Savage AfterWorld. I'm looking to induct one new member into the esoteric Order of the D30. Therefore, I shall be giving away one black D30 die to one lucky reader. Also, because it needs to be somehow "post-apocalyptic" to be a proper post on this blog, I shall also make up a Radioactive Dice Cup (like the one I made for myself) for the lucky winner to keep his or her new D30 in! So how can you win? Well, I originally thought about having folks create a new 30-item table for use with Mutant Future, but that seems like a lot of work just to win a die (no matter how cool that die is). So I'll make it simple: To enter, just reply in the Comments to this post. Next Friday, February 5, I'll randomly draw from those who commented and that person gets the cup and die. This contest is open to everyone on the planet, as I don't mind footing the shipping for an overseas winner. That's it. Good luck to everyone!

Here's what's up for grabs! Keen!

  6. Was this d30 a simple d6 before being exposed to the ravages of the nuclear future? I supposed it rolled randomly and received 2d12 additional sides and maxed out it's roll.

    How unfortunate. I'll give the poor tormented die a good home!

  10. I own a purple D30 and I use it in every game, but I long for membership in this esoteric order.

  11. I'm afraid I don't have anything exceptionally clever to say, but I'd very much like a d30. My tables keep getting too big for d20s.

  14. Put me down as a contestant, I love my 30-entry random tables!

  15. I included a list of 30 NPCs I was rolling on to see who the PCs encountered in the Saloon last week! That's the first time I've used a d30 in an actual game since I bought it in the early 90s. :)

    3. Large (5'x3'x3')White Box with a Silver Handle - pulling the handle opens a door and reveals a compartment filled with deadly green mold, 10d6 damage, save vs. poison for 1/2 damage (ye olde refrigerator trap)

    4. Collection of grooved black discs, made of some sort of plastic like substance, with a hole in the middle; each disc is stored in a crumbling paper casing (records).

    10. A bin full of small plastic pieces of varying lengths with raised dots along them; on top of each raised dot is the ancient glyph "lego"

    11. A large chest with a small padlock securing the clasp (easily broken) - the bottom has a hole in it and an unusually aggressive snake has taken up residence...

    12. A textured rubber sphere with the ancient letters "NBA"

    13. The world's dullest knife, ornately decorated with a skull on the pommel, resting point first in a block of wood (cheesy letter opener)

    20. A metal rack holding a miniature shovel and a metal poker

    21. Two fur-lined metal rings attached by a short length of chain (hand-cuffs - may accidentally close one or both hand-cuffs around wrists - key may or may not be present)

    22. A flexible plastic rod with a spool of nearly invisible thread attached to it. Nearby is a metal box containing numerous brightly colored doo-dads with attached to barbed hooks.

    23. A huge book in amazing condition - its pristine cover has the ancient words "Webster's Unabridged Dictionary"

    27. A bright yellow rubber outfit (rain coat and pants)

    28. what appears to be a vicious samurai sword (cheap pot metal replica)

    29. A red canister with a rubber hose and a pin (fire extinguisher, Mutant Lord's decision if it still has propellant)

    30. A paper box with a wood-grain appearance - inside are three little brown books...

  17. I'd like to throw my oversized-mutant-head-covering hat into the ring. I'll keep my fins crossed that I win...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Because a one in 20 chance of receiving a radioactive super power is just too likely...

  19. A d30? Count me in! I can't wait to write my first table.

    ReplyDelete
  20. It would be best, if there were 30 comments and you could just pick one person by rolling THAT mutant dice!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Awesome. I have a d30, but not a radioactive waste cup! Also, esoteric orders are kind of a second hobby of mine.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh please, oh please let it be me that wins the prize. I have no d30 of my own and no cup to keep it in.
