IDW Publishing and Wizards of the Coast have launched a Forgotten Realms Character Creation Contest to coincide with the upcoming comic book series penned by Forgotten Realms creator Ed Greenwood.

The winner will see his or her character appear in a future issue of the series, as well as receive a nice chunk of swag. Runners up will all receive D&D prize packs.

Perhaps I can finally find a creative avenue for my one-armed dragon-raised undead Minotaur pimp.

(fingers crossed)

Entries must be received by Wizards no later than 12:01 a.m. PST on February 10, 2012. All the info on this and the other nifty contests going on can be seen here.
