My DM Rewards just came in the mail and I have a big smile on my face. First off, thanks for the cool, free stuff. Free stuff makes me happy and this free stuff is pretty darn cool.

Another copy of "The Village of Hommlet." Yes, I said another copy. This is the second copy of this module I have received. No worries, I will give it to a someone as an incentive gift to get into DMing as well. So, it will serve its purpose.

The Dark Sun box is kinda cool. I say "kinda" for a few reasons. First, the art is awesome! I was already excited about Dark Sun but the art makes me want it just a little bit more. Second, getting a nice little box like this is cool. Very good idea for a reward. The only drawback is how the art is printed on the cardboard. There were no allowances in the design for what happens to the art when the cardboard is bent. I looked the art over and then began folding it into a box. Before I even reached 90 degrees on most of the sides the art ripped wide open.



 

As you can see, the ripping is really, really bad. The box will still work but I won't be using it too often as I am afraid regular use will damage it further beyond use. So a warning to all who get this. Be extremely careful when you fold it. I was being careful but apparently not careful enough so be EXTREMELY careful when you do it.

The last reward was the collection of Condition Cards which are, by far, the best reward in the entire set. I am thoroughly impressed by the cards and they will be a permanent addition to my tools at the game table.

Many thanks! The gifts are very cool and, aside from the mentioned issues, I hope they encourage others players to step up into the DM slot from time to time.

Love the peach fuzz on the back of your hand.

Yeah, I laughed when I saw that too. What can I say? I am a hairy dude, hehe. My wife keeps laughing at me too because the static here in the house is insane at the moment and I keep shocking myself.

Yeah, scoring the edges would probably work quite nicely. I will have to remember that in the future if I ever receive something else like this. 

Some of us are more "gorilla" than others. I had a friend who enjoyed pointing out the hair on the back of my hand. Don't get meanies like DKay get to you. There is likely some culture that finds it sexy, if only in a sci-fi novel.

(Yeah, DKay, I said "meanie" - what are you gonna do, kill me with your next mod? Oh, right, you probably will... ;-)

To my surprise, I got my DM rewards yesterday. I thought I had only DM'd four times, but I guess I was wrong.

The Dark Sun box is okay. I managed to fold it without much of the graphic tearing pictured above. I scored the box some more and I folded it very slowly and only as far as needed to form the box. Still got a little graphic splitting.

The cards are definitely cool. I'll definitely use them next time I DM.

I have got to get my butt into gear DMing some sessions this reward period so I don't miss out on whatever the next mailing is going to be. The ship tiles from the last mailing and these condition cards from this mailing are nice additions to the various doo-dads I have for DMing games.
