#MonsterdonAlert

#Monsterdon

HEY

so last Xmas @douglasfur did a little fundraiser during our monsterdon viewing of Snow Beast

I would really like to do a even bigger version this xmas (not necessarily with Snow Beast)

the idea: we raffle a few select items off, people donate to a charity (we can make a list of charities) they send us a screenshot showing they donated and they're entered into the raffle

we would need some things to raffle off and someone to be the person who the screenshots get sent to and who keeps us posted with running totals of donations

also if there are any lawyers on here please let us know about any potential legal issues here. we would not be taking any money from anyone, just directing them to charity sites and asking for screenshots to show they donated

@Taweret Great idea. I don't know what I can do to help exactly, but if you need anything just ask.

@Taweret @douglasfur oh yeah. I'm on the fence right now (gotta look at finances next month, yarn on hand, and if this new puppy will cooperate) but I may be able to make a fresno nightcrawler or maybe a mothman if that sort of thing would be good for the raffle (sadly I do not remember the fundraiser last Xmas that well, so I don't know how on theme it would have to be).

@Taweret @douglasfur i think you'll probably have to make 2 categories, one for the US and one for everywhere else, so people aren't dealing with tariffs

@Taweret @douglasfur I'm definitely in to make at least one big Monster-themed art d20! I am worried about international shipping though

@Louisa @Taweret @douglasfur if it's the cost of international shipping that's giving you pause, tag me in. I'll cover it.

@Louisa @douglasfur someone suggested we group entries by country. or just in the us vs outside the us. if you and others made something for us people and maybe someone in Canada wants to make something for people outside the us. because of the all the mail issues

@Taweret @douglasfur

I think the raffle is a great idea, HOWEVER.
while monsterdon is more than a US-wide event, I think we would have to make sure anyone who offers an item up to ship someone is uh... actually able to ship it?

I don't mean in a scammy or an "I'm a flake" way (though that does remind me I have a package I've needed to ship to someone for uh, a while blobsweat ) I mean with a bunch of places suspending postal service to and from the US. I think at least currently, shipping via FedEx, UPS, or possibly DHL would work, but I am not certain and do not want to be quoted on it
