Sony's recently released Okage: Shadow King follows the adventures of Ari, a young boy whose shadow has been possessed by a demon named Stan. To celebrate the quirky, dark fun of Okage, we invite you to enter our Okage: Halloween Costume Contest. You may disguise yourself as any Hero/Villian/NPC/Creature from any RPG of your choosing, but the costumes must be home made. In other words, no going to the store and buying a Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (assuming they even released them), Pokémon, Digimon, or any other RPG related costumes. To enter, simply submit a picture of yourself wearing your costume to the email address below. See complete and official rules below.

Send your entries to Contest@rpgamer.com. Be sure to include your picture of yourself in your costume, First Name, Last Name, who/what your costume is, and email address (If entrant is under the age of 18, entry must be made by parent or legal guardian).

Official Contest rules:

1) Costume must be home made, and be any RPG Hero, Villian, Non-Player Character/Support Character, or Creature. No Retail costumes will be allowed.
