Forums Registration Drive and Dice Bag Giveaway
Have you checked out the Misdirected Mark Forums? If not, now’s a great time to do it! We recently announced a registration drive which could get you a Bagthulhu from Wayward Masquerade, but we’ve also added another prize to the pool! The Bagthulhu will go to one random winner from the first 100 people to register and post an introduction in the Forums, but now another winner will receive a She’s a Super Geek dice bag, too! If you’ve already registered for the Forums, you’re already entered in the drawing. If you haven’t registered yet, this is the time to do it! And once you register, post in the Introductions forum and say hi!
Also, keep an eye on Misdirected Mark social media, because there might be even more prizes coming up!
