    From the post here.

    "
    Here's how it works:
    1. Dress up in a Dungeons of Dredmor themed costume. Whatever you want, it should probably be way better than my idea there.
    2. Send us a picture of yourself looking totally awesome (email: contact AT gaslampgames.com). Or post a picture in the forums. I'll even make a thread for it. It'll be fun.
    3. We'll choose a winner to receive a fabulous prize. Or winners. Or prizes. I'm kinda making this up as I go along, but we'll certainly give you a spooky tomb with your name on it in the second level of the Dungeons Of Dredmor and maybe even a unique artifact item in the game for everyone to find. And maybe some more fun stuff...
    Let's say the deadline is November 8, 2011-- this gives you lots of time to confound your friends by dressing up for Halloween as something they've probably never heard of.
    "

    I have no idea if this will work. All I know is that the internet is full of crazy people and we're excited to see what happens.

    I've pushed the contest deadline back by a week; the point was raised that no one has their Halloween pictures by the morning after (and anyone drunk enough to dress as a diggle certainly isn't).

    Also made the prizes a bit more open-ended. By November 8 we might have some more fancy stuff to give away than in-game tombs. You'll see!

    We may also have to break the ice on this with the Gaslamp team dressed up as things from Dredmor.

    I'd love to get in on this, but I've never celebrated Halloween. I am definitely looking forward to costume pics though. Pumpkins too, if anyone does that sort of thing.

    "So chic!"

    The neighborhood I currently live in is primarily orthodox Jewish and they don't celebrate it because they consider it a Christian holiday. My non-Jewish friends laugh at that, but it actually makes sense considering the pagan origins of almost every major Christian holiday. Halloween feels funny to me nowadays because I don't get to give out candy to all the little munchkins.

    I guess I did mention Halloween, but consider it just a loose association. This isn't the "Official Dungeons of Dredmor Halloween Costume Contest", it's the "Official Dungeons of Dredmor Costume Contest".

    And when you get down to it do you really need an excuse to dress up like a diggle? We won't judge.

    I always find Halloween to be a bit creepy myself. Don't quite know why. Maybe its the thought of all those little ones in witches and mummy costumes. Maybe I'm still a little creeped out by the Millenium Halloween episode where Frank Black sees demons in his neighbourhood, and strange things happen around him. I don't know.

    Anyway, I think I might go as a Diggle Commando. Sneak up on people without them knowing and steal all their sweeties. Waah haa haa haa hahh. And then knowing my luck, get hit over the head with a large axe by a drunk guy with really big eyebrows. Halloween is weeird ...

    I'm tempted to go as a thrusty, but I'm not certain people would want to see that :p

    All kidding aside, I present to you:

    Electroblobby!

    (ok I lied, the kidding has only just begun :p)
    This larger than life lump of electricity-wielding goo is the latest in costume fashion! State of the art blobbiness!

    Have I convinced the jury yet? :p

    The pictures:

    PS: My girlfriend who took the pictures had a field day... she was laughing so hard that she couldn't take the pictures and I had to stand there for what seemed like hours (slowly suffocating) :confused:

    Yes! You people are awesome!

    I'm going to probably just have to be lame about it and make everybody a winner. But hey, I'm getting a huge kick out of seeing people's creations.

    And Gaslamp is going to have to do a picture with us all wearing diggle-noses next time we meet up. Solidarity and all that.

    I hope you got my entry via e-mail, but just in case, here is a record of my heroic exploits defeating a dastardly-dangerous crimson diggle:

    This isn't really a costume, but I couldn't find the appropriate thread...
