You bet correctly, Martin. Please spread the idea around, although I won’t be able to do much with it until next month at the earliest (and that’s when the work would begin).

I did get questsforbreasts@gmail.com, and may grab a URL for it, but aside from the initial idea, that’s all I have at this point.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas and support.

WJ Walton: It’s certainly fine by me. I can’t speak for Telas, but I’m betting he’d be fine with it as well. BeQuest looks like a great resource, and one I’d never seen before — thanks for sharing the link!

I am currently actively refusing to GM any games right now and I’d volunteer for that.

What I’d do, though, is see if we couldn’t get some advice from Child’s Play. They’ve been doing this kind of thing for a while now.

Pink Dice?

Do we have a local gaming con at the right time? I’ve been too busy to look around and see. ArmadilloCon is too late, and gaming is a fairly small presence at that one. Austin GDC kinda sucks up everything in early September. I’m sure I’m forgetting something, though.

This is great – I’m going to post links to this and the forum thread over at http://www.theescapist.com/bequest – if that’s okay, of course…

This is the most fantastic idea ever.

Each city should have an event. They could all even use the same “module”. Have local businesses/individuals donate prizes. That way around the country there would be some 20-30 mini-cons. Have the whole she-bang, like vendors and food and all the rest.

Have some minimum donation to participate, like $10 or something. All proceeds go toward the charity.

It’s a great idea.

Wow! Thanks, Martin!

I’m thinking of a local con (we’re in Austin, which has a strong RPGA and fantasy gaming culture), but it may be better to do a couple of game day weekends, with a drawing at the end. As always, advice and feedback are welcome.

(Minor clarification: My wife walked last year but I just supported her; we’re both walking this year.)
