With Prizes!
Every RPG session is rife with characters, and every RPG adventure is packed with bad guys, but there’s always that one villain who stands out from the rest.
We’re looking for that one villain that your players are going to remember. It could be your ultimate big-bad-evil-guy, the unassuming NPC armed with only his dastardly wits, or anyone in between. Really, we want to hear about that villain that all your players could never forget. Perhaps he has an unexpected quirk (every morning he shaves using his halberd?), or perhaps he has a tricked out light-saber (Darth Maul, anyone?), or maybe he’s the down-trodden con artist with a medical condition (Keyser Söze?)
Whoever this evil person is, we want to hear about him (or her)!

Chris Stevens
In Chris's opinion, the very best vices are dirt bikes, rock music, and gaming, while the very best medicine is fatherhood. If he could just learn to balance them all, he'd live forever. He's much more creative than intelligent, often wakes up belligerent, and ponders many things insignificant. Lastly, in an effort to transform his well-fed body, P90X, Roller Blades, and Food are all laughing at him. And the pain continues.
Submitted. I have to say, that was damned fun to write, well worth it even if I don’t place.
Well, then, I look forward to reading it!
