Doing my part to advance the cause of better communication is a worthy venture, I've always said. Also note that "yours," "ours," and "theirs" don't take apostrophes, either. If you can remember that, "its" makes more sense.
That sounds like a really cool campaign. I told my gaming group about it, and they agreed.
