ozbot.typepad.com/spideyguide/We would like to announce the start of a new "Bonus Contest" that will provide another opportunity for you to receive a copy of "Spider-Man's Guide To New York, with exclusive access to Bonus Characters that have not been (and will not be) released online. The objective of this contest will be to figure out which characters will be featured in our "Bonus Pack", and the contest will run until our last installment has been published (allowing everyone plenty of time to participate). The winner will be the person (or persons) who guesses the most characters correctly. We do not expect you to make your guesses completely blindly. and have put together the following clues to help: - The bonus pack will include a roster of 20 characters, from Aegis to White Dragon.
- The characters have not appeared in any of the previous supplements (including our own, of course) and are characters that also fit in with the theme of this supplement. (Meaning that they are either are, or were, a New York based character, and/or they are an enemy of Spider-Man or any one or more of New York's vigilante heroes.)
- Each character falls into one of the following categories: Hero, Villain, or Both (which would include characters who have crossed over from villain to hero, or vice versa, or those who have frequently oppose a hero or heroes, while not being “true” villains. Sandman or Prowler, from the Spider-Man’s
Guide, are good examples of both.)
- There are 8 heroes, 7 villains, and 5 characters who are both.
Using this information, how many characters can YOU guess correctly? Submit your guesses and after the release of our last supplement we will announce the winner(s). Good Luck! -The Spider-Man's Guide to New York Development Team ozbot.typepad.com/spideyguide/

Yikes! That's a wicked challenge. I'm glad I already won a contest. Considering how difficult this is, maybe the top three should get prizes.
Seriously, these guys could be just about anybody. Nick Fury, Ghost Rider, some of the symbiotes of days gone by like Lasher and Riot... There's a whole lot more than 20 characters waiting for write-ups.
Just for fun, I think I'll make up a list and and see how far off I end up.

For the record I think withholding these profiles to only a select few is totally unfair.

Just for fun, I think I'll make up a list and and see how far off I end up. We have discussed this, and come to the following conclussion: This is a bonus contest which we were not originally planning to run. Our goal is to provide with this contest is to provide an additional opportunity to win the bonus pack so, despite the contest's difficulty, allowing for 3 winners would be a bit much. (Besides, at this rate, it seems that we're having a difficult time getting just 1 person to enter, let alone 3!) Tomasina |

Well, that's one entry so far! I still don't have a list ready. I'll need to sort through my list of characters, divide it up into heroes, villains, and 'others' and decide which ones are most likely to appear. Considering the list I have is about 2 screens long, that's gonna take a little while. Especially considering how little I know about some of these characters.

For the record I think withholding these profiles to only a select few is totally unfair. Thank you for your recent contest entry. We are sorry that you feel that our decision not to release the bonus characters to the masses is an unfair one. On the same token, the fact that you have taken the time to express your dissatisfaction with this decision shows us that you truly value the work the work that we are doing, and we sincerely appreciate that. The characters that we plan to release were originally intended to appear in the book. Some were profiles we had designed, others we never even got to the design stage. After we cut them, due to spacing issues, we had no intention to release them at all until the idea of a contest came to fruition. The Editor-In-Chief, Mike Cmero, realized that a contest would be a good way to generate interest and keep people excited about the project. He suggested the prize of the completed work on a CD. The Art Director, Danny Wall, was quick to realize that anybody could easily burn the disc to CD, so there had to be something more included. He suggested that we include the bonus characters as a special bonus. Mike saw the wisdom of the idea, and so our bonus pack idea was born. We understand your frustration with limited availability, but we feel that the success of the previous contests has been largely due to the limited nature of the contest prize. We wish you the best of luck with our last contest. Thank you very much for your interest in our publication. Tomasina |

I've gotta say, I think bawonsamdi's got some good guesses. But weren't Radioactive Man, Jolt, and Mach IV hiding in the back of the Avengers Guide?
Also, I still don't have an entry ready. I lost my list. Not that I would actually be entering anyway. I mean, the contest I won before still counts. Right?

But weren't Radioactive Man, Jolt, and Mach IV hiding in the back of the Avengers Guide? Yeah. And Atlas too. I totally forgot that Thunderbolts members were described (but very superficially) in the avenger guide ... |
