solipsistnationI wish I could say that this wasn't basically the stupidest reason for refusing to take donations that I've ever heard, but, uh. Actually, maybe it is.
"On Saturday, August 15th, 2008 at 6:00 PM, the Gen Con Live Game Auction hosted their traditional charity auction. This year, the event was in honor of Gary Gygax. Originally the charity chosen for GenCon was Gary's favorite charity, the Christian Children's Fund. Unfortunately, when they found out that the money they would get came partially from sales of Dungeons and Dragons they decided not to be the sponsored charity."
Ridiculous. I thought that particular piece of absurdity went out of fashion in the 80's.
