greetings all,

on june 9 at camp adder/tallil airbase, military troops and civilian contractors will be holding "what could be the very first d&d convention/game day ever held in a war zone." they are looking for donations of game books, dice, and other gaming materials as well as money to help purchase these materials. details are at the link posted above, along with an address to send donations. i know there are a lot of gamers here who could appreciate how this might be a morale boost for the troops, so i thought this would be a good place to post.

Shit, why the fuck ain't Wizards of the Coast doing their part and just drop shipping whatever would be needed?

Shouldn't COMPANIES bear the cost, too?

I expect Gary Gygax would have done the HONORABLE thing.

greetings farglebargle,

companies are. i know for example that tor books, the company that publishes the wheel of time series, is making donations, and i believe other companies are as well. i am not sure if wizards of the coast is or not.
