One of my coworkers at Mohegan Sun has a daughter who's birthday falls on December 28th. This will be her 9th birthday, and she was originally unsure what to ask for, with Christmas being so close. Eventually, she did come up with something she wanted:

Mail.

Her older sister and both parents get mail, but she never ever gets anything. Upon hearing this situation, my coworker learned first hand what it's like to work with a GM. Here was my idea:

Via facebook, email, and other online mediums, we're going to try to get as many people involved as possible. The idea is, for as many people to send her a birthday card or letter as possible. They have a PO Box, so private security is ensured. Anywho, that's where you guys come in.

Anyone here who wishes to send her a card or letter will be rewarded by me. This includes one of the following gifts:
  • 5000 gp from me;
  • 3 XP in my L5R game;
  • 20% of a level up in any of my D&D games*; or
  • A level 3 magic item of your choice!


*Dungeon Crawl Extravaganza may not get the XP reward.

As an extra incentive, if anyone includes $1 with their card/letter, they will receive double the reward.

How will I gauge this? Two ways. Either you take a picture of the signed and stamped envelope with the girl's address on it (yours needn't be included in the picture) and show me, or give me a name (via PM) to match with the letter, and I'll have my coworker double check to make sure those people sent letters in. If you included the $1, then I will need your name to make sure it got put inside.

Offer becomes invalid come 12/25, which will be the cut-off point of any cards/letters reasonably making it on time.

The person in question's address is as follows:
Quote:
Emma Wichael
PO Box 771
Baltic, CT 06330


Thank you anyone who participates! And have a good holiday season smile

EDIT: Upped the reward for the D&D players!

Also, the rewards are limit 1/character. So anyone in multiples of my games have to choose one character to get the reward.

Rather than doubling up, if you contribute the $1, you can choose two characters to get one reward each.

I, unfortunately, am broke... like completely. So, I can't do mailing.

Mailed today a christmas card with a badly drawn bear with birthday and christmas message and a £2 coin because it looks better than a £1 coin.
