I know exactly what went wrong... I did this list in word and copy/pasted... sometimes it messes up the quote symbol and turns it into something else.
Tomorrow, I'll dump it into text edit and fix it.
Howls....

Seriously, I'm going to have to defriend you lot soon before I murder someone in a jealous rage.

Oh, and time to prepare. Considering I haven't even started on any of your presents.

Y'see, I live in a country with a population less than most of your cities. We don't have enough members to warrant buying much new stuff. The obvious solution is that you get all the roleplayers in MD to pack up and head to NZ. Grey'll organise it, I'm sure.

But can your country really handle all the roleplayers in MD? If you were to include all the ones in the DC-Metro area . . . there are a lot of 'em.
The trouble with apathy is that it breeds apathy. Particularly in board members. Annoying. That's where new blood helps.
How small is your membership? I got an annual budget of USD 1,000 for my college Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Anime/Gaming club with an active membership somewhere in the range of 10-20 members. A lot of it is in how you file paperwork and how you spin your budget request.

I think we have about 80 or so members. I don't know, since quite a few groups sign up and then disappear off to their own houses for their own campaigns for the year, so without checking the records you can't really get a number from cons or AGMs or the like.

Wow!
What did you do to win all that?July 10 2007, 10:28:05 UTC 4 years ago

Whatever you did, you must have done it very well indeed!
Congratulations to you (and yours). A haul that big will take a lot of divvying...

They released a leather bound DMG. I am going to have to take a look at that, with a drool bib.
I also want to take a look at the Pirates of The Spanish Main RPG. A good buckleswashing game peeks my interest.

I would mention that "Fellowship of the White Star" is produced by Thenodrin Presents. Absolutely no relation to the company listed in your loot list :) We donated it and think that Cheese Weasel did an awesome job coordinating the game.

And thanks a lot. I really enjoyed reading up on the Fellowship but then my daughter took it off to college where she and her friends have been enjoying it ever since.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hope you got a chance to play at Origins '08, we had over 150 play with 31 tables. Maybe your daughter will get back from college and GM you through a few adventures :)
/cheers!
