Welcome!
Before we begin, I should say: there are a lot of winners, but there were even more tables. There were a lot of worthy entries and near-misses culled even to get to the list below; these prize lists represent probably about 1/3 of the submissions we received. There was fine work done all around and we thank you for it!
These entries were culled from almost 300 pages of tables submitted.

Honorable Mention:
These contestants all receive a free PDF of any issue of Fight On!, determined randomly out of the ones they don’t have. If they have them all they can have a free kindle, epub, or PDF of Roll the Bones instead. If they have our entire product line to date I will put them on the list for a free PDF of Fight On! #13 when it is released! If you are on this list, send emails of what you have and don’t have to iggyumlaut@gmail.com, and he will set you up!

Special Honorable Mention:
The prizes here are the same as above, but these two unique and massive multi-table sets bore special mention:
Rudingoz, Patrice Crespy
Swashbuckling Adventure Generator, Ralph Mazza
These were among the best table-sets received and ran to more than two dozen pages each. Both are very setting-specific, however, which probably cost them the highest prizes. We look forward to the games in which they appear – these table-sets are well-nigh campaigns unto themselves! Fight on, gentlemen!
Along with Rudingoz we wanted to single out
The Dungeon is Trying to Eat You! Best Of, Remix!, James A. Smith
What’s in that Hole?, Matthew Schmeer
Drink Me, Eat Me, Mr. Reaper
as tables that got a 2nd place vote from one judge, but still didn’t manage to break into the very top echelons of prizewinners. Excellent work all!

Elite Honorable Mention:
These are all tables that got either a first place award from one judge or multiple awards from different judges, but didn’t quite make the cut for the very top prizes. Gentlemen, you all win a complete run of Fight On! 1-12 in PDF, plus a PDF, epub, or kindle copy of Roll the Bones. Alternately, you can take a single print copy of any one of our current releases, or of Fight On #13 when it comes out instead.
This is really the crème de la crème, and any of these could have wound up with a prize with just one more judge falling in love with them. Superb work!
Ruins, Joe Wetzel
What’s Happened To Those Dead Bodies You Left In The Dungeon Yesterday?, Roger S. G. Sorolla
Character Generation, Alex Schroeder and Adrian Shieh
Magical Research Results, Gavin Norman
Dwarves, Kesher
Exotic Traps, Mr. Reaper

Grand Prize:
The only table to earn two first place votes, this contestant also won an honorable mention. His honorable mention entry was accepted by Fight On! back around issue 8 and is still in the queue for publication, but it was this one that captured the minds of three of our judges and arrived on the top pedestal as our Grand Prize Winner. I’m hoping we can afford postage all the way to the Valley of Blue Snails, but regardless, please give a hearty cheer to
Feast, Samuel Kisko
as the ultimate winner of our tables contest!

Thanks once again to our contestants and judges! We will now start determining prizes. My six-year-old daughter is here to roll a set of old TSR percentiles (from the Holmes boxed set days - these are the ANCIENT ones from the sets with the yellow caltrop d4s). Both are marked 1-10 twice; the die that will count as the tens die has one set of 1-10 painted orange, for convenience in 'to-hit' rolls. Let us see who has won what!

Third prize winner Paolo Greco has told me via IM that he wants to roll on the Gold table and the Magic Items table, so here goes!
Magic Items: roll of 83!
You will receive "Sorcery and Super Science!" If you already have it let me know and we will re-roll.
Gold: roll of 90! (grits teeth)
You have received a $100 prize. Nice work! Drop me a line letting me know whether you want it via paypal or in a check/postal MO.
Thanks for participating!

For second prize winner Al, we have the following:
Magic Items Table: roll of 90!
That gets you Michael Curtis' Stonehell Dungeon. If you already have it, let me know and we'll re-roll.

This gets you the Against the Giants 2 miniature set: a Well Painted Ral Partha Frost Giant and Cave Giant! I will be sorry to part with these - painted by Pat Farley!

So that is an additional $75 dollar prize. Thank you! Drop me a line with your desired forms of payment and addresses. Good work!

We've already sent out a couple of prize PDFs and talked to one of the top winners, but as you can see I'm home with my daughter today, and we've got a big weekend. Ig and I will be available all day Monday to send stuff out and hook people up with their prizes...if I can get time before then, I will, but otherwise we will be in contact Monday! Do drop Ig an email before then if you have a chance so it's easier to find you.  |

Congratulations to the winners! It was a fun idea for a contest, and I am happy I participated, even if I didn't win anything. The names of the winning entries are so evocative, I'm really looking forward to seeing them published.
And way to roll the bones, Ms Six-Year-Old! I hope the cash winners send her a token of thanks.

Most excellent!
I snagged both an Honorable Mention and a Special Honorable Mention--cool beans!
I agree with bevedog---these titles are extremely evocative. I do hope a PDF compilation will be forthcoming. I give permission for my tables to be included.

Like most everyone else here, I can't wait for the compilation to be released. I know it was a lot of work for everyone involved in the planning, managing, judging and editing.
Thanks Calithena, Ignatius, Tombowings, and all the judges!

Now, the contest was a terrible fun! We need more events like this one, I really enjoyed being in. I'm planning to use the nice mention and the effort as a kickstarter for the wondrous Rudingoz, the Jaded City, Cradle of the Balance and Secret of the Ancients.
Thanks to all of you judges for the nice words on this setting scrap and for the time you dedicated to the event.
Can't wait to read what gems everyone has designed.
Fight on indeed!

I'm really honored to have placed twice, with so many awesome-looking entries! Thanks to the judges and, as always, Cal, for all their hard work! I hope (along with many others!) that all these tables get compiled into a single volume. Oh, and Cal---way to work in the next generation... |
