This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Help Keep theRPGsite Running!

Why would I donate a dime? Everything on the Internet should be free!
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

It should be, but it isn't.

Sad, but true.

I'm going to do what I can to help.

Chipped in some. If you need more in the end, could you please let us know? I could maybe chip in a little more, but with the impact from COVID-19, I am trying to spread the spend to keep RPG resources alive.

On the flip side you could argue that posters are the content creators for the site, which is the main draw and makes ad sales possible. Thus we should be paid to post.

Pat should be paid to post. Not sure about the rest of us shitposters. Jeff's meme game is pretty great though.

Sarcasm is lost on you, sir. I already donated today.

Ah, okay.

To be fair, sarcasm is sometimes hard to detect in a text-only medium, especially when it's sort of subtle

I will do what I can, but the timing on this could have been a tad better. You know...third of the US suddenly unexpected unemployed and another third unsure if they will be employed in 2 weeks sort of thing...

I donated, though some idea of the goal would be appreciated.

Considering the number of GMs on theRPGsite, we should publish a fanzine and let the sales support the hosting fees. It would be fun to see what kind of articles posters would donate.

Careful. Do you want a book of pirates? Because this is how you get a book of pirates.
