TARGA Announces Pledge-An-Auction Drive

TARGA is organizing the 2010 Pledge-An-Auction drive in support of GaryCon 2 and the Gygax Family Fund for use in funding a memorial statue in honor of Gary. Come join our virtual auction and help us to present a great donation to Luke Gygax at GaryCon 2 this year! Starts on January 25th!

I will be putting up a complete copy of Outdoor Survival on the 25th.

Do they have an address money orders can be sent to?, or a paypal account we can send donations?

Delve, we will have the paypal account set up shortly (the wheels of bank commerce, they grind even slower than justice...) and yes, we'd love donations for the Gygax cause!

In relatively short order, you should be able to send donations to [e-mail] via PayPal. We're testing it to make sure it works.

I'd like to update you all on the International Traditional Gaming Week events. We have two definite scheduled events so far - and we'd love to add more! If you are planning on running a game for ITGW 2010, or you're going to dedicate your weekly game to ITGW, please let us know! We'd like to pimp your event and make sure we can get a lot of butts in chairs that week.

2nd Annual Dave Arneson Memorial Gameday - The Compleat Strategist, New York City - March 27th, noon - 5 pm
Marathon B2 Keep on the Borderlands Game - Chicagoland Games - Chicago, IL - March 27th, 10am - 10pm

A good cause, methinks.
