Nice as always Jerry.

Another inaccurate manual however. I wish my fighters gained 4 + Int skills per level. ... Looks like they swapped Fighter and Monk skills per level.

nice show

[Bekki]

Thank You.

An outstanding show as always.

BUt a was literally floored
when I got to the E-mails.


To be honest I wasn't sure about asking you to
to post it for fear of starting a precednet of promoting non DDO stuff
on the Podcast but I felt so strongly about this I decided to go for it.

I Just, I don't know how to say thank you enough.

Thank you, Thank you jerry.

Helping the Veterans is Something I truly Believe in.

These Brave men and Women Step up and As Marine Officer once said
"for little more than a Meager paycheck "and the love of their country
write a Blank check to there country saying Payable up to the cost of Ones Life'
(To Not only USA but many other countries as well)

And then they cvome home. And Some never truly recover.
It is my Honor to do my small part to repay these brave men and women
who made it possible for me to be a Marine.

And if my little bit can in some way, help get someone off the street
and maybe start a new life, or even in some small way just make there life
better for a day, or for just a little while. Then I think it is a small thing to do.

I cannot thank you enough for doing this.

Not Just for the Homeless Veterans.
But all Homeless, it is up to us as a soceity
to help those who need it.

Sometimes all someone really needs to make a change is for
someone , anyone to take a chance and Believe in them.


I truly cannot say thank you enough.


So for one last time
Thank you.

Bekki.

Hey Bekki, Just wanted to say Thank YOU for taking your time to do what you can to help those in need in your community. We sure could use a lot more folks like you around this silly little Earth. But my thanks also go out to Jerry at DDOCast for mentioning this. Just goes to show that DDO isn't just a game. It's a growing community that will be around for a long, long time.

Exactly. It's not DDO related, but it's a good effort and deserves a mention. I figure anything being done by a DDO player is also good to mention on the show, even if it does mostly impact people in Pennsylvania. I don't mind going "off topic" for a good cause!
