Operation Dice Drop: WOTC is on board!

Wizards of the Coast's News section on their home page for Dungeons and Dragons now links to the Wikipedia article on Ziggurat Con.

That Wikipedia article also cites a KPAM-AM radio interview... anyone happen to have recorded that, so I can link to it?

DICE DEPOTS supporting Operation Dice Drop

HONOR ROLL: Donors to Operation Dice Drop

Several Grrl Gamers of Portland, who donated fabric, assembled to sew dice bags, packaged dice sets, and contributed many, many books, games, dice and minatures.

Benefactress No. 1, Ixias, who sent, via Paypal, $50. That allowed us to pay for 2/3 of the freight cost for the Grrl Gamer and the Rainy Day Games donations of RPG books.

Benefactor No. 2, OSFCI, the non-profit operator of Orycon and GameStorm. OSFCI who provided $300. That bought two more cartons of RPG books, several bags of dice, and nearly paid for all the freight to ship the books.

Benefactor No. 3, Michael Mallon of Houston, TX, PayPal'd a net donation of $96.20, which covers the remainder of shipments One through Five and will help pay for shipment Nine - ? when we close out the Dice Depots and pack their Loot.

Benefactress No. 4, Antonia Cabal, of Milwaukie, gave a check for $10, which helped cover shipments Six and Seven.

Benefactor No. 5, Mike Carson, of Far Far Away, gave $50 via PayPal, which will pay for Shipment Eight.

Thank you, all!
