Hey everyone, the Golden Kobold is returning to GenCon! Last year's competition was an astounding success and we had many more entries than we expected. There were a few hiccups and lessons learned, but they served to make things better.
I'll be returning to GenCon this year and helping to judge entrants once again. I'll be at the Ninja Division booth most of the weekend, accepting entries, talking hobby and painting chibis! It should be a good time!
The rules have been updated for the new year and you can find them here: https://ninjadivision.com/info/golden-kobold-2018-rules
The categories have been trimmed up a little bit as well. Last year we found we had too many categories and it spread the entries around quite a bit. The categories for 2018's Golden Kobold competition are:
Single Miniature - Small Entry must be a single figure, where all elements are based no larger than 40mm diameter, and up to 4" tall including any decorative basing or plinth display.
Single Miniature - Large Entry may be any single model entry where the size of the entire model and its display are larger than 40mm in diameter and smaller than 100mm, And no taller than 8”.
Judges Category Care to try your skills against the very best? The Golden Kobold Judges, and special painter entrants will be battling for Golden Kobold glory in this exclusive category.
Diorama Category Entry may be any scene or diorama featuring one or more models of any size. They display may not exceed a dimension of 8" x 8" x 10" in height.
