A Trogdor cheat sheet, and a dragon of a contest

TelltaleGames

With the epic Strong Bad finale less than a week away, we thought now would be a good time to share some of the influences behind the episode. Just to make sure everyone understands what makes it so awesome.



If you're new to the Trogdor experience, you should start by checking out Dragon, his first appearance in a Homestarrunner.com cartoon. Can YOU draw a dragon as well as Strong Bad? (Hopefully the answer is yes... keep reading to find out why!)

Here's some other Trogdor reference, cited by the episode's lead designer Chuck Jordan as influences for Episode 5: 8-Bit Is Enough:

• Arcade Game - Watch this to understand why Strong Bad has been so bummed out about the Trogdor machine being broken all season!
• Happy Trogday - Trogdor fan creations, posted in celebration of the dragon's third birthday.
• Trogday 08 - A new spin on the Trogday celebration.
• Trogdor game - Play the arcade game yourself!
• Peasant's Quest - A retro, adventure game take on the Trogdor legend.

Now that you've immersed yourself in Trogdom, we have a contest tailor made for newly-minted dragon experts such as yourself! This is a variation of our the arts and crafts contests we hold every Halloween, but this time it's 100% Trogdor-centric.



Your entry can be anything, as long as it has something to do with Trogdor. A drawing, an MP3 of you singing the theme song, a video of your Trogdor LARPing crusade, macaroni art, you name it! Simply come up with something awesome, email your entry to contest@telltalegames.com with the subject 'Trogdor contest' by December 31, and you'll be on the road to win a wicked cool prize.




We'll pick ONE (just one!) grand prize winner to receive a prize pack containing the new Strong Bad merchandise we just added to Telltale's store - that's the Strong Bad hoodie, beanie cap, and DVD #6 (the brand new one, that goes up to email 200). You'll also get the full downloadable season of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People on PC.



In addition to the grand prize winner, we'll also choose a few runners up to receive the downloadable Strong Bad games on PC. Winners will be announced on January 13 - Trogday 2009!
