[Deptheads] RPG folks - please respond regarding Mike Nystul this weekend

[Eric Burgess]

Okay, I guess Kryssie - can you please take care of him? I have my wife
putting together small welcome baskets for both he and Aldie/his wife with
some healthy snacks for the weekend. I'll bring them down tomorrow and get
the baskets to them soon after noon (I'll be there around that time). If
you could connect with Liz/Neil on what shows he's supposed to participate
in and maybe help with a sign for his game that could go to RPG HQ, that
would be great.
