    Screenshot Swepstakes has begun!

    Check out the rules and how to enter!

    For a second I thought it was a contest but it seems more like a raffle. Good luck to those that enter! Be aware that you will need a twitter account, it's okay I didn't want to enter anyways. :/

    Yeah, some of the dumbest shit decisions is only allowing to be posted on social media.

    Contrary to popular belief, we don't all sit on Twitter all day long waiting for something to be posted. I'd like to actually contribute to something like this through the official site, not a third-party hot mess.

    I've deleted all of my social media months and years ago. One of the best decisions anyone could make.

    Cool Contest.

    But why do it on 3rd party websites? I thought those are evil!

    You have to manually type your name in there? OK i guess
    What do they mean with "going on an adventure"?

    Commendable, but I can see why they want to do this on Twitter... Also Your name, I do miss playing games in that Setting, it was my Favorite for European Fantasy. (Spelljammer & Dark Sun being my Favorite over all)

    While I agree Social Media is a toxic cesspool, the purpose for them using Twitter seems clear, the Earrings might seem to be a reference to Endwalker, but they can also be a reference to Twitter as well, and if it's not evident, it's a Cross promotion with Twitter, ie Square-Enix must have gotten some money from Twitter. As it is basically a Twitter Advertisement with out being obvious.

    Going to see the Futa Au Ra is what I would say is "Going on an adventure".

    But I doubt many would share my opinion on that.

    When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.

    Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.

    In will infect you like a glorious disease. Just lie back and let it take over. It hurts less when you don't struggle.

    It's not "dumb" it's a marketing campaign to get glamour shots of the game onto the timelines of your friends and your friends' friends who don't play the game.
    They can't do that on websites that only active players visit.

    I envy you. I reluctantly have a facebook for the purpose of starting a local gaming group, and it went over like a led zeppelin.

    Why don't they just have an on-website submission page?

    They did back in the day. You just posted on a thread made by a mod and they select some winners from the thread. It's more than likely what someone said where SE is using it as free/easy advertisement.
