Support the USO and get Game Time!

One of the things I generally try to do on Epic Slant is stay on topic. That is one of the main blogger keys to success. If you stray too far or too often you lose your audience. I’ve always kept to game design and whichever MMO I’m currently playing. In this case it has been Warhammer. Today, however, I’m going to stray.

I’m sure many of you don’t know that Sodality is full of service men and women. We, as a guild, try our best to support them and understand their needs. As I write this one of our most beloved members is in Afghanistan trying to defeat an oppressive enemy. We exchange letters, emails and care packages with him knowing these things go a long way. I know we can do more, however.

That is why I’m straying off topic this Wednesday. Have you considered all you could do for our men and women in uniform? These folks and their families give so much, receive so little and they do it gladly. Wouldn’t it be nice to support them and possibly get something out of it besides knowing you’ve done the right thing?

For the month of March, (4 March until 4 April), I’m going to be running a raffle. Anyone who donates $5.00 (this is the minimum they can take online) or more to the USO will be entered into a contest to win a 2 month Warhammer Game Card. If we get a lot of donations I’ll add in another game card. All you have to do is take the receipt, hide the information you don’t want the internet to see, and post a comment. On 4 April 2009 I’ll do the drawing for the game card and post the winner(s). You can donate directly via the USO website.
