I'm hoping to gather messages from the roleplaying community back home to gamers who are on active military duty in Iraq through the Baghdad Hobby Club.
I know second-hand that there are many roleplayers in the armed forces, and that support from fellow gamers can mean a lot to them as they do difficult and often dangerous jobs. Brian Stith, one of my oldest and best friends, served with the 82nd Airborne during the Kosovo peacekeeping action. While he was overseas, we sent him RPG books for the campaign he organized as a welcome break from his daily routine, and got back letters planning the games we’d play when he returned. Each letter back and forth reminded us how strong the bonds we’ve formed through gaming have become.
We founded Behemoth3 to continue building those bonds and make gaming more central in our lives, and that's put us into a position to give something back to those who are now risking their lives to serve their country. While we're glad to be able to donate of copies of our Masters and Minions books, we know the best part of gaming is the social connections it creates. Getting free stuff is nice, but getting words of support and encouragement from fellow gamers is priceless. So, along with our shipment of books, we’ll be sending messages from ourselves—and, I hope, from you as well.
To include your message, email it to baghdad@behemoth3.com or post it here, and we'll print it out (with your screen name or, if you provide it, your real name) and include it in our shipment. If you’d like us to pass on a letter or package, send us an email and we’ll tell you where to send it (and hold our shipment until it arrives).
Thanks,
Tavis
