Tyrian Tarot: Art Print Giveaway!

We’re hosting a small giveaway of prints! We had a small vote on Twitter to choose an element - earth, air, water, fire - and fire (correlating to the Wands) won! Above are the selection of prints available, plus one wild.

We’ll be giving away four prints (two here, two on Twitter), and you can pick which you’d like to get.

All you need to do to enter is share (reblog) this post.

The post-campaign store is active until June 11: https://tyrian-tarot.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Other notes:

Please be following the account!

Prints are not redeemable for cash value, nor can they be swapped for other prints.

Must have an existing pledge, or have a preorder.

May not be transferred to someone else.

Prints are 5″x7″ with a white trim, printed on fine art bright white paper with archival inks.

Artworks are by Celebril, @sketchingsands, Thavie and Elodie!

The “Road to $100,000″ Goals: Official GW2 Concept Art Additions

Now that we’ve hit $90k, the final stretch goals for the campaign are here! For every $1k we hit between $91,000 and $100,000, we’ll be adding 1 official concept art piece, for a total of 10 pieces in a section of every Tyrian Tarot Guidebook.

Repeat: If we hit $100,000, there will be a full section of official concept pieces in the guidebook.

All artworks are approved for use and sent to us through @guildwars2 official, so these are real. These are glorious. These are entirely made possible by working together with ArenaNet’s team.

>> Click here to visit the campaign!

This has been in the works for a bit, and we’re absolutely elated that we’ve come so far. We’ve been hoping we could make this happen, and now it’s up to you. Help us get there! (Also: If we hit all of the concept art goals, we’ll have one more charity donation goal… so let’s do this. :D)

In addition: We’ll be raffling off one more Wheel of Fortune bundle (i.e., a signed edition of the bundle from devs at ArenaNet) with this post. Any note counts as an entry, and the raffle will end once we hit $100,000 (same rules apply as usual - it is an upgrade so you must be pledged for it to apply). (We have two more WoF bundles to give away which will be raffle off in a contest after the campaign is completed for pledged members.) – Good luck!

Time to party (with some raptors)!

These raptors want to join your Tyrian Tarot bundle! For our social media goals, we have two free stickers available to unlock - this one and one on Twitter. Here, if this gets to 750 notes, it will be added to any Tyrian Tarot purchase for free. It’s vinyl and printed at 3″x3″, designed by @anneliesedraws (please check her out!). If both are unlocked, you get both added! :D

Win a Signed Tyrian Tarot:

One person who shares this will randomly be selected for a Wheel of Fortune upgrade. The Wheel of Fortune deck upgrade is a signed copy of Tyrian Tarot by the @guildwars2 devs, mailed in late August/early September. A base pledge (“The Fool”) is required for the upgrade. Winners do not have to pay the price difference ($31) for the upgrade. The raffle ends April 27th, 11:59 PM EDT.

Join the Tyrian Tarot campaign!

Mount Adoption License Feedback

I wanted to let you all know that we’re listening to and compiling your feedback about the Mount Adoption License.

A few points:

I’m reading threads, but if you’d like to make individual posts outlining your feedback and tag @guildwars2, that’s an easy way for me to find them.

Specific, detailed feedback about what you like and dislike is always valuable.

There’s a thread specifically for feedback on the official forums if you’d prefer to post there.

You can send me a DM, ask, or submission if you feel uncomfortable posting publicly; I may not be able to respond, but I promise you they’ll be read and collected! (.___.)/

I can answer questions about how the license works, but I won’t be able to answer broader design questions (this is pretty much always the case).

I know that some people are upset, but please know that all of us want to communicate with you and listen to your feedback in good faith. I’m not ever going to engage with abusive language or insults toward my coworkers.

Preorders are now open!

Read below for info & giveaway details. To preorder directly, visit: gw2zine.bigcartel.com.

Chimes is a charity fanzine produced by the @guildwars2 community, hosted by the group POW. The 71 contributors of the book worked together to celebrate the annual tradition from the game we treasure, creating 69 illustrations and 13 short stories in a 100 page book.

It’s no secret that Guild Wars 2 is an international game - the community has impacted so many in positive ways through the years. Likewise, our contributors are from all around the world, and we wanted to give back with this book. We decided that we’d be giving our net proceeds do @doctorswithoutborders (also known as MSF), a group which assists those in need wherever they are, when they can. Please check out our ridiculously talented lineup here: Contributor List.

(Art in this preview post by @qesque, @mamath, @wheatskers, @westontjones, @rurush, Flutti, @landylachs, @thunderpot and Irene Karotsi.)

For a chance to win a free zine bundle:

Reblog this post or retweet/like the one on Twitter - there’s a prize pool for each, so feel free to enter both.

Make sure to be following the accounts, respectively.

Each reblog counts as an entry (up to 5). We won’t be counting likes (though they are appreciated). On Twitter we’ll be counting retweets and likes, but not quote retweets.

No giveaway blogs will be counted.

This will run until Nov. 30th, 2017 @ 11:59 PM EST. The bundle includes one zine, a postcard bundle and a free print. We ship winning prizes domestically and internationally. If you purchase the bundle prior to the giveaway ending and win, we’ll refund you the amount.

Don’t forget - this limited run book will only be available until Dec. 1st. Due to printing constraints, there will not be a reprint, so please get your copy now!

Guild Wars 2 Orrian Armor Cosplay

dogecoin

Houston, we have a problem. The current dogechain over 1.4gb in size. This is incredibly bloated. As time goes on, the size of the blockchain will …

Redditor Tuxedage has helped pool together a whopping bounty of 1.5 million DOGE (and growing) for the first person to create an electrum/multibit style client for Dogecoin.

If you haven’t heard of these before, they’re a “light” wallet client that holds your wallet’s private keys on your desktop (so still secure) but doesn’t require a local copy of the entire blockchain in order to process transactions. That means new users can avoid those hour long initial sync times, while retaining their security.

Head on over to the Reddit thread to offer your help, or donate to the bounty pool. Let’s make this happen shibes!

So I’ve done it, I’ve hit that 100 watcher milestone (+15) and since then, I’ve been wanting to do a Guild Wars 2 themed give away.

Firstly I want to thank everyone who is following me, it means a lot, I can’t really put it in words, I know that sounds sappy, but honestly, the best part of playing Guild Wars 2 is not only being able to share my adventures in game with you, but seeing yours in return. At the end of the day, It’s you guys who keep me interested and invested in the game, so Thank-You all for being awesome!

Secondly I know that a hand full of you who do watch me, don’t play or are unable to play Guild Wars 2, and that’s fine too, you guys deserve as much thanks as the GW2 bloggers out there, even though I’ve been negligent with posting my artwork, the fact that you’ve stuck around means that you guys are awesome. That also means that you too are more than welcome to enter my contest, I’ll organize something special for you if you aren’t a GW2 player and happen to win a prize in my contest, so I have no intention of leaving you guys out. With all that said, here are the Rules/Guidelines for my Contest/Give Away

Rules/Guidelines: - You must be following me in order to participate (it would otherwise defeat the whole point of this contest.) - A like will count as one entry. - A reblog will count as another. - Multiple reblogs will not count. - You have to do one of the following to enter, but being part of the original 115 followers will grant you another entry. (Assuming you’ve entered the contest) - The contest will end on 1st of October at 6:00pm Australian Eastern Standard Time and the winners announced the following day, (except for the mystery prize winner, who will be announced, at a later time)

Prizes: 1st Prize Up to 1600 gems worth of items from the Guild Wars 2 gem store, this can be as many items as you wish to the value of 1600 gems. (Should there be a left over amount of gems, it will be used as part of the “Mystery Prize”) Or If you are not a Guild Wars 2 player, or aren’t interested in Gem Store items, I will offer a fully rendered drawing of your choice. (with up to 2 characters) (Please note that, I do not draw mature rated content, and while I can draw pretty much anything subject wise, I am more confident drawing anthropomorphic subjects. So please take the following into consideration)

2nd Prize Up to 1200 gems worth of items from the Guild Wars 2 gem store, this can be as many items as you wish to the value of 1200 gems. (Any left over gems, will be converted to gold 2/3rd’s will be given to you and the remaining 3rd will go towards the mystery prize.)

Or If you are not a Guild Wars 2 player or aren’t interested in Gem Store items, I will offer a Flat coloured drawing, of your choice (with up to 2 characters) 3rd Prize Up to 800 gems worth of items from the Guild Wars 2 gem store, this can be anything you wish to the value of 800 gems. (Any left over gems will be converted to gold, 2/3rd’s will be given to you and the remaining 3rd will also go the mystery prize.) Or If you are not a Guild Wars 2 player or aren’t interested in Gem Store items, I will offer a simplified coloured drawing (see art above for example) of your choice (with up to 2 characters) Mystery Prize Aside from the potential ‘leftovers’ of the first 3 prizes, it is truly a mystery, it could be super valuable, or could be the most shittiest prize you’ve ever gotten… it is a mystery! Or If you aren’t a Guild Wars 2 player or this is too mysterious for you, I will instead offer, a mysterious prize (hint: its art related) will it be the best thing you’ve ever seen or will it be a piece of shit… it is a mystery!

—-

I think I’ve covered all grounds, but if you have any further questions, drop a line in my ask box and I’ll answer them asap, yet again, thank you all for being super supportive, and good luck!
