MISSION
The National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum inspires greater understanding of the real impact of war with a focus on Vietnam. The museum collects, preserves and exhibits art inspired by combat and created by veterans.
You can purchase the game from Indie Press Revolution (http://indiepressrevolution.com/products.php?publisherLink=hamsterprophet).
As for the choice of donation: The mission of the NVVAM dovetails exactly with my feelings on why we should remember and continue to explore Vietnam. I suggest that you take the time to browse some of the art available on the website; it is a powerful thing, even through the digital remove. I would really like to be able to donate a substantial amount to this great cause, and if you've been pondering picking up the game, I think now would be the best time to do it!
I also just realized that I'll be running the game on Veteran's Day at JiffyCon.
Wow.
Meguey has a short AP report at Story Games (http://www.story-games.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=1781&page=1). It was good times!
