(...and PaizoCon in one case)

Heya folks.

Christina Stiles, whose name most of you should recognize, is running an IndieGoGo fundraiser to help cover the costs of Con travel from herself, myself, and Amanda Hamon. To incentivize folks there are various rewards for pitching in, ranging from a good-sized pdf bundle ( the bundle currently includes pdfs from Misfit Studios, Super Genius Games, LPJ Design, Fat Dragon Games, Fat Goblin Games, Black & Green Games, and Total Party Kill Games) to advertising to one-on-one time to talk to us about whatever you want.

Having freelancers who make the things you enjoy travel to events like this is good for everyone, as it helps build relationships that open doors to otherwise impossible programs (I suspect most of the SGG/Rite Publishing collaboration can be traced back to meeting at Gen Con), and helps keep the minds of your favorite creators fresh and inspired.

So if you feel like getting some cool stuff and helping offset the costs of independent creatives building a stronger industry, check it out!

Good luck!

Thanks. :D

There should be a list of pdfs included in the bundle soon. It looks like it'll be worth a chunk more than the cost of the reward level...

Contributor

I'm working on the list now. :) There are 10 so far.

Contributor

And we are happy to sign on more publishers who want to support us with a pdf for the bundle.


Paypal is acting funny at work. I'll have to try again when I get home.

Cool idea and I like the idea behind the industry pro perk since I'll be at GenCon for the first time this year (though I consider myself more of an industry padawan- not quite a pro yet, but not a total newb either).

Contributor

Scarab Sages Contributor

Thank you, Orthos and John!

The PDF bundle just keeps getting better, and the industry pro publication should be really helpful. :D

Does IndieGoGo take the money immediately? Or do they wait 'til it's over, like Kickstarter?

Contributor

Immediately.

Thanks to Scott Gladstein, we now have Tome of Leaf & Thorn (ranger redesign)added to the bundle.

And the glorious geniuses have added the following:

The Genius Guide to the Godling
The Genius Guide to What's in My Pocket
Anachronistic Adventurers: The Enforcer

And thanks to Daigle for the twitter shout-out! See, even the maestro of monsters wants us to succeed!

Seriously, you can't go wrong for $25!

AND, if we can get this thing to exceed our demand by a good bit, we just might be able to get Owen out to PaizoCon! It's going to take your spreading the word to make that happen, though.

So just out of curiosity, what's the total $$ value of the bundle right now? It seems like a LOT.

I'll have to sit down and total it all up! IMO, it's PRICELESS that so many individuals and companies have been so generous. ;)

Right now, some Kobold Overlord guy has me chained to an editing desk, though, so I won't be able to tally that all until later in the evening--or in the morning, when he's sleeping. Shh! Don't tell him.

See, koboldminion7 needs a minion to research such things. :)
