If the CCF is pandering to those people, I doubt the spokesperson would have reiterated its policy of non-proselytization as stated in the Wikipedia article.
Nice. Not only that, but it's a credit card with a reputation as a predatory lender. And that's not diluting the name and logo?
This is exactly what I plan on asking in my letter.
Given that tax exempt charities have been accepting money from GenCon for the past almost four decades, I can't see how this could be.
That would be fair enough if that were the case. But then you'd have to wonder about their conviction on it if they feel the need to feed us that BS about having no negative opinion of gamers.
In any case, the organization has made a clear effort in the past to be noted as having purely secular goals, despite their name. So the question would become, "Without the ridiculous religious bias, how does tabletop gaming go against their mission?" It's easy to see how gambling and alcohol can go against helping abused familys. Less so how saving an imaginary world from an imaginary monster goes against feeding starving children.
I'm rather curious as to exactly what these specific criteria are and in what ways GenCon faild to meet them.Originally Posted by Cheri Dahl
