Rogues Gallery rocks! I won a prize!

This is why brick and mortar stores rule and they will continue to exist…relationships with their customers! Recently, they had a drawing for us who belong to the Agents of Rogue Club. The winner received a mini to be painted by their in-house artist/wizard Nick, he’s the dude responsible for all their bitchin’ dioramas (the current one is famous planets from comics, movies, etc.). Obviously I won and what a thrill too. I had just finished working out at the gym as my iPhone told me I had new e-mail. Usually the weekly update from Rogues Gallery on the week’s comics and games arrives in the evening but I’m always thrilled to see what’s coming. Instead it was a message saying I won the drawing, woo hoo. So I dropped by and had the luck to see Nick on this visit. I asked him if I bought a giant, would this be OK, not to be cheap, more like something big which wouldn’t strain his hands and eyes. He was more than willing and followed up with color preferences. Since Fire Giants are “giant” dwarves (in D&D, the plural is -ves, not -fs as per Oxford) that live near volcanoes, I suggested black, brown, red, purple and orange; the colors associated with lava and fire. Nick turned it around in just two days and as you can see it’s frickin’ amazing!

I can’t wait to have this baddie make her debut in a campaign. Either my ongoing Fellowship of Pflugerville (aka Seilu, Opal and Hitana, we miss ya’ Avani) or if I draw the short straw with the upcoming work-based group; three DMs to choose from!

I’m having my own contest as well. Give her a cool name and if it wins, mainly I like it, you get a prize worth $20. It will depend upon where you live though, aka, only people who live near me get Pinballz. If you don’t have an account, ask for one, write, tweet or send a text message.
