Come take part in some amazing community led competitions, win some epic prizes and help shape our future releases.

Epic Heroes!

A creative writing contest with Steamforged Games.



 

Our friends at Steamforged Games have generously offered
to joint sponsor a competition with some amazing prizes!
Everyone is welcome in their new Epic Encounters scenarios,
and to celebrate the success of the new wheelchair minis, we
have teamed up for this awesome contest!

To enter, you’ll be writing a short story set in the blistering kobold warrens and dragon’s lair that form the environment of the new Epic Encounters sets from SFG. Your story should feature a new wheelchair using adventurer (and their allies if you wish).

The three stories judged to be the best will receive a full set of wave #1 wheelchair minis AND one of each of the first two Epic Encounters adventures sets- over £140/ $190 of prizes!

In addition, of the three, one story will be selected and that character will be designed as a miniature for future releases, with a 3d printed one-off copy being sent to the deserving winner!

Some rules to help inspire your character bio created by Sara @Mustangsart can by downloaded below and also follow the link to the SFG website for more information and amazing artwork about the exciting new Epic Encounters range- and just as Everyone Can Be A Hero, everyone can be EPIC in these encounters
