Odd Question

Well, while I'd surely dig on having all you guys down here in Austin and shopping at the awesome FLGS, Dragon's Lair, I do have to consider general usefulness of what I have in mind here...

So, what do you have in mind?

 

[Hypersmurf]

I believe most of us do, truthfully. I haven't lately, just because of finances and lack of stand-out product.

I've found that if I pick up a PDF, it tends to sit in a folder somewhere and rarely get looked at. I forget they exist.

Whereas if I have a physical book, it goes on a shelf where I'm reminded of it every time I grab my PHB. Plus, I tend to get more enjoyment out of them, for some reason.

(My parents bought my an ebook reader, once. There were some great novels available, cheaper than hardback, a lot earlier than waiting for the paperback... but I just really didn't enjoy it as much. Dad ended up using the reader; I buy real books )

Ok, so here's the deal - all of the admins, mods, folks running the site, have been busting their humps the past couple of weeks since the Dungeon/Dragon cancellation announcement. Given that I reported like a reporting fiend, due to getting mightily sick of seeing the wave of negativity, I'm going to give out something that's not a complaint - namely Amazon gift e-certificates.

Given that I'm a working schmoe like you folks, the certs won't be much - $5-10, most likely - but y'all deserve it. I love a good FLGS like anyone, but given everyone's geographic distribution, I figure a little something anyone can use is more useful. No strings attached, nothing. Just a 'thank you' from me for all the hard work you put in and the frustration you've undoubtedly dealt with.

So keep an eye out. They're coming soon.

He rocks!

*blink* That's incredibly nice of you!

 

[Jim Hague]

It'll take a bit to get it all done, but I'm going to be steadily marching down the list and making sure everyone gets their certs. I've done the mod thing, and I know how hard it is even at the best of times. I just figure you guys deserve it, after the storm you just weathered, that's all.

 

[Henry]

Jim, you didn't have to -- but that's incredibly nice of you!

 

[Jim Hague]

And the first three are off. I'm marching down the list as monies become available. PC, Russ, Henry, if y'all don't get them, check your Spam boxes. The rest of you I'm slowly but surely getting to.
