Quentin and Dan are just a couple of gamers with a passion for woodworking. They’ve got an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign on right now where you can order your own Hex Dice Chest. It’s already 1,000% funded! The Kickstarter runs until the end of day Sunday, November 2. Check it out.
Now if you think these Hex Dice Chests are just the thing for you, but you’re a bit short of funds right now, you’re in luck. Quentin and Dan have graciously donated 4 free Hex Dice Chests to our readers. We’ve decided the fairest way to dole out these prizes is to have a random drawing.
How to Enter
There are three ways to enter. You can enter all three ways.
- Leave us a comment below telling us about your favourite character from any game you’ve every played and your name will be entered into the draw.
- Follow me on Twitter (@ameron_dm) and your name will be entered into the draw.
- Send me a Tweet telling me about your favourite character from any game you’ve every played and your name will be entered into the draw.
Our contest closes on Saturday, November 1, 2014, and at 9:00 p.m. We’ll contact the winners right away. If you don’t win you will still be able to back the Kickstarter until midnight on Sunday, November 2. Good luck!
Note: Although I do think this is a great product, Quentin and Dan did grease the wheels a bit by promising me a free Hex Dice Chest of my own for running this contest. Hey, I’ve got a crap-load of dice and I’m always looking for someplace neat to put them. Why not in a Hex Dice Chest?

Firstly, thank you to Quentin and Dan for their donation.
As for my favorite character, that is hard to say...I think for the sake of interaction with other characters (and general shenanigans), my favorite would be my forest gnome barbarian from Murder in Baulder's Gate: Polaneon Uranbaer Vantikk Vinesong Partanobe.
With a profound dislike of most taller individuals (as he felt they would not take him seriously) and a deep love of animals, it caused a lot of entertaining roleplay scenarios. During the intro fight, he considered freeing the captive exotic birds to be more important than saving the gathered commoners. Then his use of minor illusions to act as a sketch artist and make himself appear taller made for entertaining running quirks.
All-in-all, the quirks are what made him my favorite. That and the dex-based barbarian build being so ridiculously broken.
So, my fave character is really hard to decide. I love my 4e Drunken Cleric level 14. With a PP of 25. Yes, I dumped all I could into that Sat. I could see upstairs thru walls. It was fun.
Well one of my favourite characters has been my first 5e character - Phineus Bumblebottom.
He was teased so much as a child due to his silly last name that it made him into a social outcast, so naturally he turned into a bookworm, which led to an intense interest in all things arcane. He discovered he had a fondness for the school of Necromancy in his studies and was further shunned by those around him.
He has taken up a life of adventure now in order to fund his research into the arcane, specifically necromancy, and hopes to discover some untold arcane secret that he can unleash onto the world. He is socially awkward and has no sense of tact, but he is bound and determined to turn those laughs at his expense into screams of terror! Or at least sighs of indifference.
My favourite would have to be Alton Leagallow, the Kender Fighter I played for Legacy of the Crystal Shard. Back when the play test had Kenders.
He was a mouthy little prick who really only cared about himself, but could be depended on in a battle none the less. Had a couple of choice moments with him in that adventure, but the one that really stands out is when he convinced the party to ignore the explosion by the docks and with the help of a Tiefling Rogue lead the party to the pirate base.
Almost ended up in a TPK, especially when the Half-Orc Barbarian tossed Alton over the front line of pirates right at their leader. Called it the Kender Surprise, too bad it ended in Alton dropping. Not all was lost though as the Half-Orc grabbed his body whiles the Rogue covered with arrow fire and the Cleric kept us all alive.
We narrowly made it out alive, but we got the last laugh. As the pirates made chase after us, Alton was able to use his ability to really get under someone's skin and taunted the pirate leader right off of his boat, down to Davy Jones Locker.
Good times indeed.
My favorite character was in a Rifts RPG campaign, I was playing a Fallam (kind of gorrilla/human mix with mermaid type ridges and weird beards) Operator (mechanic/inventor/hacker class). He was called "Trig" and he was deaf since childhood (a reason he took up mechanics and weapons engineering, or his war worshipping race would have left him for dead.) He was the first truly disabled character I'd ever played, and also one that I poured the most of my personality into. I am hard of hearing and have been fighting it for years, Trig was the first step towards accepting this part of myself.
It also helped that he was a blast to play, even if he was clumsy and terrible in combat ;)
I always seem to fall in love with my PC right before the campaign is cancelled, but one of my favourite PCs was a centaur monk. Lots of limbs for punching and kicking.
My favorite character was from a 3e campaign where I played my first wizard from 1-20. His name was Tirien and was a utility Mage. He eventually became a planewalker and created his own demiplane suitable for elves and would be known to spirit away those who were in trouble to love amongst its crystalline peaks.
It has been a long time since I have visited that character and the plane that he created.
I will take this time to speak of Hammelech Ani, an epic-level sorcerer who was captured and force fed raw essence of chaos beast. To keep from randomly shapeshifting every minute, he was given a blood transfusion using Demogorgon's blood. Five epic levels of buying off the level adjustment for the Demonic template later, he was finally able to control the shapeshifting from the infusion of chaos beast and enter into the game's final battle where he (and the rest of the party) ascended to godhood.
My first D&D character, which was also my first 5e character in last September's play test was Tormyr, a human Paladin who had turned from the planned out life that his noble parents had planned for him and went out into the land. Tormyr was named after Torm and Tyr and dedicated to their service. He saved people, righted wrongs, turned zombies and protected surrendering foes from overzealous allies.
While investigating a dragon powder plot, the party found the plot was instigated by the crazy leader of the local mage academy. As the party went to investigate, they encounter a prefect leading a dozen first year students back to the tower.
Tormyr stepped forward to talk to the students, trying to reason with them and gather information. Unbeknownst to him, they were in on the plot. On a signal from the prefect, all 12 first year students used their 1 level 1 spell slot to fire magic missile. 36 bolts hit Tormyr simultaneously, and he was blown apart. The rest of the party stormed the tower and all but two were killed.
The party returned the next day with new heroes and found several kegs of the dragon powder, and they blew up the mages tower.
Tormyr was the natural progression of all the paladins I played in the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights video games. He is the most natural for me to play, and he will return when I finally get a chance to play again instead of being the DM.
