TOPIC: "Who wants to be a Super Hero" and True Dungeon Link?

Re: "Who wants to be a Super Hero" and True Dungeon Link? 16 years 11 months ago #61

Well, I know this thread died a long time ago... but, I've been sort of, well, "busy"...<br /><br />The Feedback preview comic came out this past Saturday, and it's the first 8 pages of the book that will come out in July!<br /><br />I know this thread sort of turned into a discussion about different opinions of Stan, the negative points to which I must certainly take issue, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.<br /><br />The show has, however, been a positive influence to a lot of people, and it certainly made a dream of mine come true (as true as it can become in our world, it seems).<br /><br />My superpowers now are the ability to help raise money for worthy causes!  I helped Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic raise $71,000 dollars as an MC for one of their fundraisers, and have raised over $5000 for Make-A-Wish from donations at conventions for signed photos!<br /><br />It may not be flight, or the ability to stop time, but if I can help make a few dreams come true, what greater power could you ask for?<br /><br />GAME ON!

Welcome back.  I hoped you were still around.  Will you be in Indy by any chance.  I would love to sit down and chat.<br /><br /><br />Widseth

<br /><br />It is wonderful that you were able help raise money!  Both are very worthy causes, fit for a superhero.  :)  And I can't wait for the comic to come out!

Hey Matt, welcome back! <br /><br />The work you are doing for charities is awesome.  Keep it up!<br /><br />What's next for you though?  Maybe a guest appearence on "Heroes"?  Walk-on role in Spiderman 4 as a villian perhaps?  ;)

It's cool that you finally made it to Gen Con Indy!  You should be blown away by how BIG it is.  The best part is that all the TD faithful are there -- hanging out in the Tavern and trading tokens and stories.  <br /><br />Maybe you can do a reading of your epic True Dungeon poem?!

Congrats, Matt, on using your superpowers for good causes!  You need this t-shirt:...<br /><br />Rats - the site ps238.com is blocked at my school - no idea why.  Anyway, they have t-shirts that say "I use my powers for good!"  (or evil, of course).<br /><br />I DMed the stone spider room for you at GenCon SoCal.  Will you be able to make it to Indy this summer?<br /><br />Any idea if you'll be appearing on season 2 of WWTBAS?  I have a friend who auditioned as the TIME WARRIOR, but he didn't get picked.<br /><br />Loved the preview comic - looking forward to seeing the entire book!<br /><br />Brian<br /><br />

<br />Will you be in Indy by any chance.

<br /><br />Will I make it to Indy?<br /><br />I'm using what little fame I have garnered to make SURE that I would not miss out on True Dungeon this year! (Since GenCon SoCal is out of the picture.)  I don't know if there's going to be a big formal announcement, and if so, I'll trust that I can come back and delete this post, but...<br /><br />I have been invited to be a GUEST at Gen Con this year!  And as a requirement of my attendance, I asked for True Dungeon tickets for Sarah and I!!!!<br /><br />How's that for loyalty!  Man am I excited!!!  I get to raise money for charities AND play True Dungeon!!!!<br /><br />And Jeff, I would be happy to do a reading of my epic poem!  I just emailed it to a few members of my fan club last night who are going to do a combat run with Sarah and I around midnight on Thursday (after my highly-anticipated puzzle run earlier in the evening!!!)  It seemed impossible, but now they are even more excited!<br /><br />Forgive me if I have avoided any of the other questions.  If so, it is entirely intentional for reasons involving lots of lawyers, if you get my meaning.<br /><br />GAME ON!<br /><br />Matthew<br /><br />A.k.a.<br /><br />Feedback<br /><br />A.k.a.<br /><br />"crazy-8-page poem guy"

PM sent. As I stated in it, let us know in what ways we too can help you give to these charities. I have rarely seen a more friendly giving bunch of people than I have here on these forums.
