Another gaming Katrina relief project

I recently heard about this fundraising effort and want to spread the word. I've recently made a promise to myself to not spend money on gaming until I get a job. Or a game group.

Greg Stolze, co-author of Unknown Armies and a bunch of other really good gaming material, has put together a new game with a few other names in the industry. The game is called Executive Decision, and sounds pretty cool- sort of a political LARP-like reminiscent of the National Security Decision Making Game, except this is confined to the White House. From the game's plug page:

Executive Decision is a white-knuckle game of political decisionmaking and brinksmanship set in the Oval Office. Players take on the roles of the President and his top advisors, then plunge into the middle of a crisis demanding leadership.

Right now, the game is being held for ransom- if enough people collectively pony up $1000, the game gets released for free. That grand gets directly donated to the Red Cross. According to the site, there's just over a fortnight left and more than 75% of the funds collected.

Furthermore: My copies of Beyond the Storm shipped Monday. w00t!

PS: Don't forget to donate blood if you can.
