Caption Contest: Win a Copy of Alpha Omega!
Want a funny caption? Make one yourself.
The team at Mind Storm Labs has conspired with Robot Viking to put together a truly stupendous contest. It is the Alpha and Omega of caption contests, if you will. Come up with a hilarious caption for this knife-wielding tot and you could win a free copy of the Alpha Omega Core Rulebook, plus a copy of The Encountered, Alpha Omega’s creature catalog. One winner not enough? There will be three prize winners! But wait, there’s more! Act now and you’ll have a chance to caption not one, but two…TWO bizarre creatures from the world of Alpha Omega. Operators are standing by.
I try to contain my horribly cheesy sense of humor within the image captions here at Robot Viking, so whenever you read a real groaner, think how much worse it could be if they spilled over into the actual articles. But now the tables are turned. Caption either or both of these images from The Encountered (you can enter one caption per image). The three funniest captioners overall, as judged by me and at my sole discretion, will each win one copy of the Alpha Omega Core Rulebook and one copy of The Encountered. If you’re looking for a little background information on these critters, you can head over to the Mind Storm Labs site or the Alpha Omega site (where you can download a preview copy of The Encountered).
The contest will run through next Wednesday, May 13, ending at roughly 9 a.m. Eastern Time (depending on when I get to work that day). As long as the winners entered a valid email address when they registered here at Robot Viking, they’ll be contacted on Wednesday with information on how to collect their winnings.
For convenience, here are both images together. Click on either of them for a larger version of the image. Just enter your captions in the comments below and label them as either image #1 or image #2. Have fun!
[Note: If you are super ultra awesome and both of your captions are in the top three, you do not win double prizes, but I will publicly mention how awesome you are.]
