| When President Bush ordered troops to Iraq, he probably never imagined that he would be ultimately be responsible for what very well could be the very first D&D convention/game day ever held in a war zone. Ziggurat Con, being held June 9 from 1200 to 2100 hours at Camp Adder/Tallil Airbase, is open to all allied military personnel and civilian contractors in Iraq. KBR and MWR (the armyÂ’s Morale Welfare & Recreation Department) have graciously allowed service members to use part of the Community Activity Center to hold the Game Day. The Ping Pong room will be set up for RPGs (Role-Playing Games, not to be confused with the rocket propelled grenades which share the same acronym), and the DVD Movie room will be playing Anime Movies all day in support of the event. At the link are suggestions on how to donate all the D&D crap that's been in the closet gathering dust for the past 20 years. |

| #1 Jackal, funny you should word your comment that way. I've got a boatload of D&D stuff and for some odd reason I've been unwilling to sell it or dump it even though I have no intent in playing again. Very odd. Must be some kind of nostalgia reading the old stuff from time to time. |
