Mayhem: Urban Grind

File Size = 34.5MB

On Christmas eve, 2006 our family ran headlong into dark waters. My sister’s 8 year old son Chase Ripper was rushed to the hospital and shortly thereafter diagnosed with ALL Leukemia. Chase is now undergoing a second round of treatment to fend off lingering cancer cells.

Coming to my families aid, the crew here at WorldWorksGames pulled together in order to create a terrain set dedicated to Chase Ripper and family. The proceeds of which will go directly into Chase’s trust fund, to help offset some of the costs associated with 24/7 care over a period of many months. Every little bit helps in this fight and we won’t stop diverting money from this set until the crisis is over. Once that happens we’ll feed remaining sums into another cancer charity.

My heart swells with pride knowing that I’m working with such genuine people. People willing to throw aside everything for a relative stranger in need. I would like to personally thank the following contributors who made this incredible gift possible:

* Scott Ried for creating the amazing textures within this set and bringing his knowledge of all things “skater” to the table.
* Matt Lyon for applying his geometric wizardry to the various elements.
* Alberto Silva for illustrating some deeply inspired standees and game elements (no one does better standees than Alberto).
* Bob Cooper for designing a fully functional minigame, creating instructions, promotional photos, keeping things on track/ cohesive with production and generally helping me in a time of chaos.
* And to the rest of the WWG crew who were supportive in every way they could be during this process.

Of course, gigantic thanks are in order to all of you who have purchased this modelset or spread the word about it. I am in your debt and my family can never amply thank you for your support.

[gloriar]

Purchase.I was waiting to can help for along time, so im very happy to see this release.Believe me.

[Luckyjoe]

Luckyjoe

[emergencyoverride]

Buying it now. I'm glad to help out. I hate to see this happen to anybody, but especially not a kid.

[Squirmydad]

I'd have paid $15 for this set, $10 is a steal.

Be well.

[Gamesmith Denny]

Thanks all!

[impala]

I will be buyin this as soon as the f!@#$%^ computer can download stuff again... discussed it with the fiance a few months back and she wants to buy one every month

[Rebecca Ratliff]

Bought. May Chase come through this with flying colors. I am sure he has taught everyone in the family a few lessons about grace under fire, because in my experience, kids do that. For all of you who are caring for him, may you find peace, and know that the love you have shown him will be reflected back to you. Cancer is eminently CURABLE these days and it certainly sounds like his doctors are doing everything possible. My thoughts and prayers are with Chase and with all of you.

All downloaded.

Excellent set

Excellent Cause.

Hope Chase makes a speedy and total recovery, cancer is an insideous disease that needs it's ass kicked urgently.

[CCotD]

Thought this was going to be a donate type purchase system. $10 is way to little to be paying for such a worthy cause.

Of course I guess I could just buy a bunch of them.

Copied the release announcement to my site.

Have you thought about opening a paypal account for donations as well? It is pretty painless to trasfer funds from a paypal account to a bank account. The only real hassel is having to wait 3-5 days for the transaction to clear. But you would have a full account of where and when the money came from and how much.

[Bewildered Badger]

I'm downloading this at the moment. Only five minutes to go. As soon as it's finished I'll go plug it on the Forum Of Doom.

I agree with Highland Piper, an account for donations is a good idea. Even in a time of credit crunch you should get something.

My hopes and thoughts are with Chase and his family at this time.

[bayushi_shogo]

I'll wait a bit but as soon as something more is out I'll take Bank+plus that one+hope Thoumonts or a Wildgrove...if Mat don't go out first like allways...


I supos next week I'll have numbers of my vacation and can go back to "normal" expenditure.

[Teaflax]

Done. Having spent much time on a ward with leukemia patients (when I was struck with aplastic anemia), I know what a tough disease this is to deal with. Best of luck and well wishes to Chase and his family.

[Snizitch]

Buy it multiple times, if you want to donate more

[Gamesmith Denny]

I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who donated to this cause. Many of you were beyond generous and many bought the set multiple times. Chase and family were touched that so many complete strangers would help them get through these troubled waters.

This community never ceases to amaze me. One of the best forum groups I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with.

Thanks all.
