EDIT: 7/2/2010 – Well, 226 comments here, and quite a bit on twitter led this to be probably the most successful contest I’ve run with Gator Games yet, and now it’s time to announce the winner. His name is Will, who wrote “I can’t wait to expand my dungeon tile set”. Well Will, you are going to expand it now. The gods of random.org spoke in your favor. Thanks all for entering! There will be more contests soon!
Right before I leave on vacation, here’s another great contest sponsored by Gator Games! We are randomly giving away a set of Dungeon Tiles: Desert of Athas. All you have to do to enter is leave a message here, and that will serve as your entry to the contest.
This is a pretty neat tile set, you can catch my review of it here.
The contest will run up until this Friday 7/2 at 12:00pm eastern, after that I’ll luckily be aboard a plane, while one of you will be bragging about being a winner! 🙂
Once again I urge you to check out Gator Games, both their online store, and if you are in the San Mateo, CA area, their brick and mortar location. Thanks to them I can run these neat contests, so pay them back with at least a visit, and c’mon, help me out too, tell them I sent you. 😉
This contest is open to residents of the continental United States only. And to celebrate the 4th of July, Gator Games is offering a 20% discount if you enter “firecracker” at checkout. That coupon code is good until July 5th.
Remeber to follow us both on twitter, to get early word of these types of contests, and other neat stuff.

Been wanting to check this set out – maybe make it my first. I’ve decided the Dwarven Forge stuff is just too much for me, so it’s time to start diving into these!
I may just have to swing into Gator Games sometime as well – my family is from that area (I live a few hours south of there now but go up there all the time).

I’ve been considering buying these, anyway. I’ve long wanted to start using Tiles for my campaigns, but haven’t been sure I liked the constraints of pre-made tiles. But who knows, maybe these are perfect for what I need.

Been a fan of tiles for a while now and this set looks great. I caught wind of this contest through a tweet by wizards and had never heard of gator games, thanks for the info about them. Payday is soon (and just in time to take advantage of the discount) so I’ll hopefully be buying something soon.
Also, consider this my entry into the contest please 🙂

Rob Uccello

I love the look of these tiles, even if you don’t end up playing in Athas they can still be useful for beaches or regular deserts. Plus, this set has more of the 3d terrain, doesn’t it?

I could use these for the desert-themed game I am running now. And for Dark Sun once it comes out, obviously, but that’s only if I can convince one of my groups to start over in a new setting. (not likely lol)
