If this message could be forwarded to Mr. Perkins, that would be
amazing. Thanks!


Chris/Mr. Perkins/Overlord DM,

My name is [redacted], and I'm a new DM. I am also a member of the online
community of Reddit.

If you have never heard of Reddit, it is a pretty simple link- and
text-sharing community organized into smaller "sub-reddits" for just
about every interest you can think of. You can post links, images,
blocks of text, and have people vote on whether or not your submission
contains good content and comment on it. I frequent a number of
subreddits related to tabletop gaming, including /r/DnD, /r/rpg,
/r/worldbuilding, and others. There is thing on Reddit called an
"AMA", or "Ask Me Anything". It's kind of a like a community-driven
interview. Someone can post an AMA, and Reddit users can ask
questions, and that person can respond. It's a great format and allows
for a number of threads of conversation and lots of info being shared.
You can spend as short as an hour answering questions, or up to
days/weeks, if you feel so inclined (the thread stays open, and you
can always come back an answer more questions), though usually a
couple of hours is suggested. It's a very open format and usually
quite informal.

As an ad-hoc representative of /r/DnD, I would like to invite you to
do an AMA with us at your leisure. We would love to have you come
answer some questions (and maybe even ask some of your own). Here are
a few sample questions that a few people have indicated they would
like to ask (you can see the full thread here: http://redd.it/1hfc39):

- "What fuels your imagination and desire to DM/GM? Do you ever get
tired of it and if so, what do you do?"
- "Who inspires you most as a DM/GM?"
- "Will podcasts be more frequent with NEXT? They have been
intermittent during 4e but I always enjoy them and would love for them
to become more regular."
- "What brought you to where you are today, in terms of the world of
tabletop gaming?"

If this sounds like something you like to do, feel free to email me
back and I can give you more info and/or walk you through creating a
properly set-up AMA thread. And regardless, you are more than welcome
to make an account on reddit and join the community; fans are always
happy to see celebrity figures show up in the comments/submissions.

Thanks for reading, and regardless of whether or not you get back to
me, keep doing what you're doing. You're a huge inspiration, and I
hope that one day I can be half the DM you are :D
