Moderator Froggy the Great Posted March 17, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2010 Reaper and its associated frothing minions are proud to present: THE 2010 VCR CHALLENGE! Missed out on the action last year? Dying to receive the obeisance of the assembled throngs at the awards ceremony? Now's your chance! GIVEN: One or more dead VCRs, DVD players, and whatever other derelict appliances people bring to the con to take apart; GIVEN: The Reaper Miniatures Boneyard, conveniently serving your boneyardical needs; CREATE: One vehicle and a driver, using a combination of Boneyard and VCR parts. THE FINE PRINT: where the prose becomes much less overwrought: -The challenge is open to all comers, regardless of skill level or experience. -We will have a meeting in the dining area Thursday, 2pm to take apart the assembled VCRs and to claim parts. While anyone may enter afterwards and submit a finished entry by the deadline, the best parts tend to get claimed at the meetup/takeapart. -The deadline for submitting a finished entry is Saturday, 12 noon. -While unpainted entries may be submitted, painted entries tend to do much better. -The vehicle should be made using a substantial mixture of Reaper and VCR parts. -The Driver should be a Reaper Miniature that has had VCR parts used in its conversion. -The winners shall be decided by a vote of the convention attendees. If you're reasonably confident that you'll be participating, please post here so we can get a rough idea of how many VCRs and DVD players we'll need. (I will be administrating and participating, but not competing unless forced to.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herzogbrian Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm in. Hopefully can find the time to paint everything up. Didnt have time to paint my robot and death ray with focus crystal last year. Consider the gauntlet thrown down!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flit Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm afraid I'm all out of dead VCRs. :: (: Maybe I can find some other dead appliance or electronic-y thing around the house tho :: ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herzogbrian Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I have one that is just dying to be recycled. My guess is that we will need a 2d if everyone is getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWeasel Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Or three... Four? We are still over 60 days out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I may be interested in this one. I'm not sure how much creative mine would be but you never know. I took Lanse's conversion class a few years ago & out of the blue made something that Lanse feel in love with. I just chalk it up as beginner's luck RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWeasel Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Lanse's Conversion Class. Maybe if there were more of those I'd have a better chance of not coming in Third (or worse). ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krztoff Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Yes. I am quite disappointed that I never had a chance to take that class. Maybe we could bribe him to give an unofficial one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted March 20, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yes. I am quite disappointed that I never had a chance to take that class. Maybe we could bribe him to give an unofficial one. Of course. Name the bribe you're offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Goodner Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Radio Free Hommlet will be pleased to donate the official d20 radio dead VCR. It's been sitting on my shelf for over a year now, and going out as parts for a mini painting contest is almost as good as a viking funeral.

Maltique Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I bribe with cookies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skya Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'm seriously considering giving this a shot (no dead VCR to contribute I'm afraid), but I'm a bit concerned that it might be over extending myself with the classes I'm teaching.
