If you cannot rest until you see the vista afforded by a surmounted peak, then the Wandering Men will resonate with you. We embrace journeying and exploration; we're constantly pushing ourselves over the next hill, whether the hill is an obstacle, such as a towering mountain or raging river, or a challenging project, like writing a book or crafting a RPG. Reaching for the horizon is the name of the game. Do you hear the mountain's call?

What?!? The Wandering Men are giving away an Ipod Shuffle?!?
That's right, Wandering Guys and Gals! The grand prize in the latest Wandering Men contest is precisely that - an Ipod Shuffle! The world's smallest digital music player can be yours - 1 GB of glorious musical pleasure! Not only that, but the winner of this contest will also receive a beautiful "Triple F" T-shirt (seen here - your choice of color: black or tan; [NOTE: dapper guy in kilt NOT included]), and a full color, glossy 8x12 poster (literally suitable for framing) of ONE of the Skein of Shadowsheroes of your choice!
So, what's the catch, you ask? What does one have to do to win such a fabulous and monumentally awesome prize? Sell one's soul? Nah. Give us one's firstborn to a small guy with a hard-to-pronounce name? Of course not! It's actually quite simple... One might say deceptively simple...
One of the founding principles of The Wandering Men is exploration - exploration that inspires! So, what we want you to do is simply get out and explore - take your camera along and when you find a spot that inspires, take a picture of yourself there! We're looking for what inspires you - not necessarily what would inspire one of us - it could be anything: a mountain range at dusk, a seashore at dawn, a meaningful historical location in your hometown, a city skyline that gives you weak knees, or maybe an example of architecture that makes your heart soar. Whatever it is, we want to see it - and we want to see you there!
Once you have the picture, post it in our OFFICIAL CONTEST THREAD, along with a short explanation of why it inspires you. Once the submission period is over, the Wandering Men themselves will decide on the winner! See - I TOLD YA it was easy!
So, if yer ready to get out there and explore - WAIT! Ya gotta read the RULES BELOW FIRST.... THEN, you can rush out the door (don't forget yer camera)!

So, now that our last contest is over and done with, the Wandering Men have decided to crank up our next stunning contribution to the contest world! But that then leaves us with the ever-looming quandry of what-to-do?
But, then we realize that as fortune would smile, we've just announced our spiffy, exclusive Men: the Wandering cards, and we thought, eh -- why not? -- it'd almost be like we planned it!

And what might that be, you ask? Simple, really! All you have to do is head to our Men: the Wandering - Exclusive Con Cards page and nab one (or all) of the images (you might have to right click and "Save As", or some such mumbo-jumbo-interweb-magic) and save them to your computer. Then, release your tightly-kenneled hounds of creative energy and make your very own Men: the Wandering card! (or, as the mood strikes: cards!)
You can do anything you like - print them out, color over them, paint on them, photoshop them, use them to make a giant Men: the Wandering card collage, whatevah - we don't care. You can make a card of your favorite PC, NPC, or LMNOP; of yourself, your dog, your mom, your mom's dog, or your dog's mom - it's totally up to you! As long as you follow the rules, it's creative, and you can somehow show us what you've done in an electronic format, we'll take it! Bonus points will be considered for truly creative uses and themes...
Once your creations are complete, email them to Ashy (via the Contact Us page and he'll post them in this thread on the Wandering Men forums. Once the entry deadline has been reached, then the voting will begin, and it will be up to the public to decide the winner (HINT: that means YOU and YOUR FRIENDS...)

We'd like to thank Rob from the bottom of our hearts and, as a winner, he'll receive a free copy of Skein of Shadows, and has received a Proofreading credit in the book to boot! Congrats, Rob!
The Wandering Men are happy to announce our first contest, as we think that we've got a real doozy for ya! You see, we've proofed and edited the Skein of Shadows novellas until our eyes have bled, rebelled, launched an offensive against our brains and finally, given up and simply left on holiday. So, we thought it'd be a great idea to see if you, the fans, could find any "oopses" that we might have inadvertently missed. It's called the Proof 'da PDF Contest, and participating is as easy as can be... All you have to do is:
Buy a copy of one (or all) of the upcoming Skein of Shadows novellas in PDF(s). ==> See the linked images below <==
If your correction is valid, then you'll win a copy of the Skein of Shadows softcover in November! Also, you may even get a credit in the book as a Proofreader! Check out all the RULES below:
