For reasons I won't go into here, I've acquired more AoR Beta books than I have players.

And for reasons I won't go into here (but involve surviving a hysterectomy two years ago) I believe in 'paying it forward' and passing on my good fortune. As all my players now have one already, I would like to give the surplus two to a good home. They are unused and in perfect condition.

I can only send to the UK I'm afraid, but if there's anyone who wants one and doesn't have one at the moment, let me know and I'll let you have my spares.

Just tell me about your AoR campaign or characters in the thread below, and I'll pick the 'winners' in about a week's time

(and yeah, this is legitimate - I give away games and stuff regularly on DeviantArt and Gamefaqs too - I have a lot of contacts and get a silly amount of free gamer gifts and always pass on the surplus).

Planned Campaign:

All characters are crew aboard an Imperial Senators ship heading for Imperial Centre around the time of the first movie. As they approach, another senator (one with whom the senator has had a respected rivalry) informs them via encrypted communication, that they should leave quickly as the Emperor has disolved the senate and is planning to arrest any who have not towed the Imperial line. He also gives the senator a contact on an outer rim planet. This sets in motion events which will lead them to the Rebellion.

Long term plot: well, at least one of my players is on this board so I don't want to go into detail.

Maelora, while I am not in the UK and therefore not participating in the giveaway, I would like to ask for the benefit of readers of this thread and would-be participants whether or not they're permitted to "go into detail by PM" off-thread? i.e. due to what eldath said.

Do you already have one? I don't mind mailing to the US if it's you, you've helped me out loads!

I assumed you already have one, but if not, it's yours!

Haha, sounds cool!

Okay, send me a PM and I'll mail it out.

Maelora! I'd love to take one of your books off your hands, if you've any left and are willing? I'm in the UK, and as I'm not currently required on tour or doing anything else that'd mean I couldn't be available to receive it...

*crosses fingers, hoping to get a response in the affirmative*

Also, if you're willing it, I'd discuss my campaign idea via email - this is because a) some of my players are ON these boards, and b) I can't seem to use the forum's PM feature. :/

You may have to enable the feature in your forum settings. I know I've tried sending a PM to you in the past, and it says you can't use the forum's PM feature.

I glanced over my settings, but couldn't find the option. I'll check again, but...

Nope, just checked and I can't see anything on my profile that lets me allow or deny PMs.

Hmm... That's odd. I couldn't find the setting either. But for whatever reason, a good number of people (yourself, HappyDaze, etc.) give error messages whenever I try to send them a PM. I wonder what's causing it...

Contact the webmaster thingy.

I've no idea. :S But hopefully Maelora will consent to letting me layout my planned campaign via email; then if I'm lucky, she might pass me over a copy of the coveted beta book!

Wait, I may have found it.

If you click on the "Envelope" for the messenger system in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen, it should take you to your "messenger." At the bottom left of that screen, I have a button that says "Disable Messenger." Perhaps you have one there that would enable you to use it? Alternately, you might try this link: http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?app=members&module=messaging

I can't seem to locate this icon.

Just underneath "Search Messages".

This is what I'm showing, your mileage may vary:

I can't seem to find Search Messages, either. >_< lol

Contact the webmaster thingy.

I did over a week ago. Nothing back yet, not even a "we're looking into it" or such.

I don't know how you found that link (I looked all over the boards), but it fixed the problem for me. Many thanks!

I think it's worked for me, too! Thanks guys! Will send Maelora a PM now; hope she doesn't mind...

Not til everyone who submits a campaign/character in this thread who's in the UK gets theirs!

Sent my campaign information via PM, Maelora. Hope that's okay!

Okay, contest closed - thanks for those who posted or PMed me!

If I have future spares I will post again here. I'd sooner see the spare books go to gamers that will use them.

Good show, I just wanted to see that anyone who actually responded as per your OP got their books so that I wouldn't be depriving one of them by assenting to your own offer of one of the books.
