Random.org has selected Jeff S. as the winner of this giveaway! Congratulations Jeff! Everyone else, thanks for entering, and be on the lookout for future contests!
—————-
I wrote a bit about the D&D Essentials Rules Compendium and I really believe that it is a book that having multiple copies of at the table is not a bad idea, more so if you are a bunch of new players to the game and are constantly referencing the rules.
So that’s why we’re giving away a copy of this book, because I feel it’s that useful to have if you are running D&D 4e, and whether you already own it or not, you should really enter this contest and try to snag a free one.
Of course, it goes without saying that the fine folks at Gator Games are once again showing the gaming community just how great of a gaming store they are, and you should do your part to support them by at least visiting their site and taking a look around.
Gator Games is an FLGS (Friendly Local Gaming Store) operating in San Mateo, CA., and if you are in the area then do yourself a favor and make them your gaming store. But if you are not, it doesn’t matter, because Gator Games has a website with a great “Used Items” online store that is certain to satisfy all of your hobby needs with some really great deals.
Go there now and enter coupon code “newbiedm” at checkout for a 20% discount on your orders (all non-sale items only). Guys, I’m counting on you all to keep these giveaways coming, show Gator Games that NewbieDM.com readers are the most appreciative readers out there!
Gator Games also offers German games and an expanded selection of RPG’s, card games, miniatures, dice and boardgames. Visit Gator Games’ revamped website today atwww.gatorgames.com. You can also find them on Facebook (Gator Games & Hobby) and Myspace.

Very cool of you to give this away – been interested in getting a copy myself 😉
I have been meaning to go into Gator Games as well – I’m from that area (well, south bay) so I’m there when I visit family every month or so – just haven’t actually done it yet, hehe.
Next time!

Thanks to you and Gator Games. I don’t own any Essentials product (yet) so this would be a great help. (p.s. I have to visit Gator Games someday; I live in the South Bay area, it’s a bit of a drive but maybe worth it after all I’ve heard about the store)
