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.

TheRPGsite Hosting Fund Drive

As many of you know from our last fundraiser, we have to pay annual hosting fees to keep TheRPGsite.com open. We are asking people who can to donate in order to help us maintain this cost. The money is strictly for covering the hosting expenses. Brett, one of the site administrators, has been handling the fees for three years. Our goal is to raise $600.00 which will pay our hosting costs for the next two years, and pay Brett money he has spent out of his own pocket the last three.

If you like TheRPGsite and want to contribute then donate what you feel is an appropriate amount.


UPDATE: We hit our goal and a little extra, bringing us to 666 dollars. Going to call an end to the pledge drive now. Thanks to everyone for their generous donations.

Will do.  Is there any particular deadline that donations must be in by?

Yes, please let us know. I'd like to have the time to get a little money together and get permission from the wife.

Now on Crowdfundr: "SOLO MARTIAL BLUES" is a single-player martial arts TTRPG at https://fnd.us/solo-martial-blues?ref=sh_dCLT6b

First, there's no fixed deadline; but we'd like to get this resolved as soon as possible obviously.  The last time we did this, we got funded within a week!

Anyways, if we get funded ridiculously quickly, we might just have to give some rewards to backers.  If we get funded insanely quickly (i.e. beat our old record) we might just have to arrange some kind of thank you to all our members!

I'd also like to note that I am not receiving or even handling any of this money myself, in case that matters to anyone.  All of the money will be going directly to Brett who handles our hosting fees, and all surpluses will go to future hosting costs so that we don't have to do this again too soon.

Excellent -- if this is being held open, and we can contribute as we can, I'll be able to chip in in a month when my finances are healthier ...
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

Next month would be better for me as well.

Is there a way for us to keep track of the amount of money that's been donated so far?

Afraid I can't donate much at the moment, but I'll give a small tidbit.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

RPGPundit

We're currently 30% funded, which is great! But please keep it coming!

If you can't donate yet, please feel free to as soon as you're able, though my sincere hope is that this current rate of donations continues and we'll be done this drive well before the end of the month.

Awesome!  As we all know, RPGsite admins are famously lazy, and RPGsite posters are famously irritable, so help us raise the rest of this so that we don't have to do this again for another few years!
