Dear Paizonians,
There is a company that donates a dollar to a charity each time someone hits the “like” button on its charitable facebook page . < ---- that’s the link!
Currently, the featured charity is one that is very near and dear to me: Bond Child and Family Development.
Could you please take a half second and hit that “like” button?
Bond Child and Family Development (AKA Bond Street by us old timers) is a charity that targets two very poor neighbourhoods in Toronto, Canada by focussing on the youngest of children. The crown jewels of the charity is an award winning day care program which is teamed by specialists trained to work with kids with special needs, particularly autism. They also have a park with actual grass in the middle of the concrete jungle and something called a Snoezelin room. The kids are adorably cute and totally worth an electronic click.
Like everywhere these days, money is tight. In fact Bond almost had to close shop recently and so every fundraising drive matters. Over the years I’ve learned that gamers are unusually charitable and typically above the curve on tech savvy. Please prove me right and hit that button. But I’d love it if you could do more – if everyone just alerts one other person to this, we could really set that like button on fire. (DC 22 Will save against chain letter - no need to go crazy!)
Lastly, for the sake of disclosure, I should mention I am well familiar with both Bond as well as the company doing the donating, but those are both good things.
Now in order to satisfy the traditions of a truly off topic posting and to add some Paizo-inspired content, here’s a collection some of my favourite old Paizo threads that I got to play around in over the years (sniff, sniff). This one pertains to one of my favourite gaming sessions during the 3.5 Paizo Dungeon era arising from an old Paizo contest, from a time long before rpg Superstar. This one is about what happens if the Were Cabbages foolishly attempt to conquer True Dungeon. This one is the chronicle of the first Green Blood on a Black Rock tournament, an event which thanks to Adam Daigle and Brandon Hodge has since become a really awesome event. I hope it will continue to rock houses at PaizoCon to come. And of course, as long as I am reminiscing, here is the thread where Ask a Shoanti finally got his start as an advice columnist (thanks Liz!). Where has the time gone?
What's this? Some ill-informed barbarian wants to support a charity that helps children? He entices us to his cause with amusing tales of innocent frivolity?
I, for one, wholeheartedly embrace these attempts to fan the flame of false hope in the hearts of the innocent.
Loved seeing the True Dungeon campaign journal again. That was actually a pleasure to read. Informational, funny, and yet to the point.
And I have "liked" this worthy charity... so don't be scared by that ca-ching sound, man. ;)
Hey thanks guys!
I appreciate those extra likes.

With less than a week to go before this expires, I am upping the ante.
If you hit that like button I will:
1. Psychically send you an imaginary klar, personally autographed by the jothka of every major Shoanti tribe.
2. Jump a hell knight and dispense with him in an exotic fashion, while dedicating it to you.
Many thanks,

A personalized coup de grâce just for giving a like to a worthy charity Facebook page? YES! I'm always happy to see creative bloodshed come from a good act.
