[CAR-PGa] Help New Zealand with DriveThruRPG

(Cut and pasted from The Escapist Blog - www.theescapist.com/blog)

DriveThruRPG has once again organized a humanitarian effort for people
in great need, this time for the victims of the New Zealand
earthquake. For a donation of $20, which will go directly to the Red
Cross relief efforts in New Zealand, DTRPG is offering over $330 worth
of great RPG PDFs, including Al Shir-Ma, Book of Knights, Ingenium,
and Cthulhu Tech. If you would like to donate, visit DriveThruRPG's
New Zealand Red Cross Earthquake Relief page (http://
rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?
products_id=88713&affiliate_id=18458
) - or to donate directly to the
Red Cross, visit their New Zealand Red Cross 2011 Earthquake Appeal
page.(http://www.redcross.org.nz/cms_display.php)

This isn't the first time DTRPG has used this method to raise funds
for a worthy cause. In early 2010, the site organized a similar
package to benefit the victims of the Haiti earthquake, and also
implemented a donation matching program. Together, these programs
raised over $175,000 for Doctors Without Borders!

I mentioned this back then, and I seem to bring it up every time that
any group of roleplayers are involved in such activity, but it really
bears repeating - To William Schnoebelen and anyone else who asks
things like "where are the rescue missions ... started by D&D
gamers?", here is yet another example for you. Feel free to ignore it,
as you must if you want to uphold your illusion of gamers as twisted,
violent, and dangerous, but the fact remains that gamers are just as
kind, thoughtful, and generous as any other group of people - not
because they are gamers, but because they are human beings.
