April Fool's Game Giveaway - No Joke!

Wow. It's been a while since I posted here, hasn't it. My bad. Maybe it's because I'm one of "those guys" still cranking away with old-skool TGE. But anyway, over at Tales of the Rampant Coyote, we have a contest going this week and I wanted to extend the offer to the community here to participate:
It's a dinky little contest, but should be fun.
My birthday is April 2nd, and maybe that's why I've never been too fond of April Fool's Day pranks. So I'm doing something cool instead. In honor of the traditions of hobbit birthdays in the shire, I'm going to give away presents on my birthday to other people.
Specifically, I'm giving away one (digital download) game from the Rampant Games Website, plus copies of the long-in-the-tooth Void War to the winner and runners-up, and it looks like we may be getting an additional game or two thrown into the pot for the winner. But I'll buy you one game of your choice from RampantGames.com. (I hope you like RPGs, as that's like 3/4ths of what we've got...)
How do you enter? Easy. I'm actually bribing people to help me with blog content. I want a post about all the reasons indie games rock. Examples might include:
Why Indie Games Rock:
* Big Pixels are Sexy!
* They aren’t afraid of letting you play it before deciding to pay for it.
* The next time I’m locked inside somebody’s hotel room, I’ll be fully trained on how to escape!
So send me an email - jaybnospam at rampantgames.com (just remove the "nospam"), or PM on the Rampant Games Forums. You can provide multiple entries in a single email or message, and enter as often as you like. In case the winners / runners-up have nearly identical responses with others, credit will be given the whichever I received first.
Happy April Fool's Day in advance! And happy birthday to me!

Congratulations to the winner and all participants in the contest for helping make something non-annoying out of April Fool's Day!

I thought the contest would be kinda fun. And it gave me an excuse to drop by and post something ;)

Yeah, I've been lurkin', just haven't had a whole lot to say. Got sucked back into doing mainstream games for a while, but now I'm back to being 100% indie. I keep forgetting to echo my Frayed Knights development progress over here. I thought the contest would be kinda fun. And it gave me an excuse to drop by and post something ;)
