The Rathe Times Promo giveaway

by Kirk Bushell 2nd September 2021 2 : 01

We've been running giveaways for some time over on FaB DB, but it's time we did some of our own special promos! (Ed - YEAH! Take that, FaB DB!!!)

With that in mind, we have 20 play sets of the Promo Rainbow Foil Herald of Protection to give away. Yes, full play sets - blue, yellow, and red!!! In addition, we also have a Herald of Protection play mat for the top reader!

So how do you get your hands on this sweet, sweet loot? Well, it's very easy!


Did you know?

Oh we're all about the giveaways, and the tidbits of knowledge. Like this one! Find more of these around the site, and unlock incredible treasures!

Around the site we've embedded these callouts (over on the right! - Ed) on several articles. All you have to do is register on the Rathe Times and comment on at least two of those articles, adding to the discussion there. Your comment must be a valid contribution to the discussion on that article (ie. spammy comments will not be accepted and simply removed). This article doesn't count ;)

If you do so, and your comments are accepted - you'll go in the draw to win 1 of 20 of our foil promo play sets. Additionally, those readers that find every single callout, will go in the draw for the Herald of Protection play mat!

Please note, comments lodged before this giveaway was published will not be included!

And we're not done there!

Finally, we're going to contribute some of our own swag to the competition as well. One lucky winner will win a FaB DB "Battle at the Peak" Alpha play mat and a Fabled subscription (a fabled subscription is a lifetime membership! Woah! :O)

So what are you waiting for? Go find the callouts (not the one on this page! :P), contribute to the discussion and go into the draw!

The competition will be drawn on the 14th September, 2021 @ 2pm AEST, with swag posted that same day.

And to those that win, don't forget to track your new cards in the FaB DB Collection Manager! ;)

Drawing the prizes!

This competition was absolutely phenomenal. Of the several hundred readers that entered, 51 found at least 2 articles with the callouts, but only 15 found all 5!

Thank you to everyone for getting involved and helping us to develop a dialog and ongoing discussion here on the Rathe Times!

Great way to promote engagement! I think as a fledgling TCG, Discussion is one of the keys to helping grow the player base and develop invested players.

I started reading articles from TheRatheTime the day I heard about FaB (a few months back) and have been lurking since, but as for most platforms, never took the time to create an account (after all, why would it be needed to create an account on a blog-type website). Having a look at that free pro-series articles, and considering this offer, I guess it's time to join the boat. Thanks for the giveaway, and thanks for the great content. Keep up the good work.

Nice giveaway, but I am confused wheter comments here count or not? And seeing as you are the developer of Fab Db, are there plans to bring the mobile and desktop functionability closer to each other? I like using FabDb on the Desktop, but on the phone it feels a bit clunky andI miss options like the sideboard.

Awesome giveaway! This site has helped me immensely with learning Katsu and the different playstyles you choose from for the hero.

Kirk Bushell

@CATS - it is immensely hard to get it working across all devices, and I have worked very hard to get features such as the deck builder working on mobile. I'm always working on it, and there are definitely some areas I want to improve (such as the collection manager).

The herald promos look so sick! The playmat would be nice as well, but this definitely gave me a reason to register and stop reading as a guest.

Hah! A neat way to generate clicks on your site, as well as to have everyone at least a little engaged in the community. You're killing two birds with one stone here or - as we say in Poland - bake two roasts on one rotisserie!

Karol just made me realize I need to visit Poland, had no idea roasts were ever cook on a rotisserie! But I like the saying, might start making "2 Chickens, 1 Rotisserie!" a thing.

@LAZAEUS - It's mentioned in the article, and the box on this page also talks about finding them. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it :(
