[Deptheads] Some random stuff

[Eric Burgess]

Shane,

I also have confirmation from Days of Wonder that they are sending us
exclusive tournament gold and silver turn markers and a champion t-shirt
for the tournament winner. How many people did we get for Small World last
time? They'd like an idea of the size of our tourneys.

Aldrich,

DOW has an advert for us to trade for their support. The size we ran last
time was fine.
