While these products are available from other distributors, the DM's Guild is offering donations to charity, and I wish to support that.  Also, the DM's Guild rules.The Ignore Feature:  Of course, this whole thing won't work if I've blocked you.  So I toggled off my "Remove Ignored Content" option in my profile, and disabled the "2-way Ignore" feature.  It's the best I can do from my end.  And obviously, if you are ignoring me, well, you're never going to know if you're a winner or not.What if I win, but I already own a copy of The Survivor? I'm still working on this. The way I understand it, whenever I type your email address into the order form at DM's Guild, it will prompt me with a message that says "This person already owns a copy of this document" or something to that effect.  And if that happens,  I will reach out to you for more information.What if I don't want to share my email address? I can't send your prize if you don't have an email address you're willing to share. So my advice is to create a temporary email address. Otherwise, you will have to forfeit your prize.</blockquote>
