OK, we are winding down to the finish and I have very few responses. This is a simple game to try and obtain the ACTUAL books. You can email your efforts to [email protected]. Thanks!

You are making this very difficult for me, DL. You know I'm a softie at heart.

Anyone else going to enter?

Jim I have to admit I don't actually know the answers to all of them myself so I'm looking forward to seeing the answers!

Jim,

I never even played Overseer - I have medical problems using a computer and have pretty much gone over to Interactive Fiction which my wife can read to me and we can play together. I would, however, like to point out that I have returned a little to the Forum after years of absence and I just took it upon myself (right, it has nothing to do with your contest) to educate the forum in vampire literature. More germane is the fact that one year I pushed David B. really hard to continue the calendars (he'll attest to it) and helped with images as best I could, so without me maybe there wouldn't have been a continuity of TM calendars. I also tried really hard when Cub was running the caption contests and got some laughs but never won. Which is my groveling way of asking: if there's a really minor prize left over after you've gotten all the entries and judged them - such as, for instance, Gollum's Ring of Power - do you think you might throw me a bone? After all, we old guys have got to stick together - I turned 60 in January.

Warmly, and hoping that flattery will get me everywhere,
Harry

You've touched my heart, Harry, and welcome to the 60's generation.

The prizes, as mentioned earlier, are: 1. UAKM book; 2. PD book; TMO Soundtrack with Tex Murphy screensaver. Let's see how things go and I will get back with you.

I have one of those actually... Bought it last year, it's a really nice piece, {be weary of knockoffs if you plan to get one}... I also have Aragorn's Sword and Bilbo's/Frodo's Sword...


I'd really like to win that UAKM Novel, but the contest was fun either way, even if there hadn't been prizes involved, I enjoyed racking the brain on those Pics, and I would be honored to be chosen for any of the prizes...

You truly are a Man of Class "A" Quality Jim...

Yes Harry, and thank you for spurring me to make the Calendar this year. I'm glad you like it.

And I agree with Baf - Jim is truly a kind hearted man and a great guy to have around.

Thanks, Jim and David, and it's really OK if I don't get a trinket! It's just nice to hear from you guys again.

So Jim, who are the big winners?

I just took a look at the Calender. Yesterday was Chris's/Tex's birthday and tomorrow is Demonlayer's birthday.
