up at the start of April 2015, and it’s going rathermarvellously. The thrust of our Patreon

campaign is to be able to afford betterrates of pay for our freelance game

designers. As I’m sure you know, theeconomics of 3PP are notoriously tight, but

Patreon gives us at Raging Swan Press away toincrease our freelancer rates. At time of writing,we’vealreadymassivelyincreasedourwordrateto 11 cents a word, which givesme awarm,fuzzyfeeling inside.Wewanttopaymore,but

to do that we need your help! If you sign up, you get oursupplementsearlierthannormalandcheaperthannormal.Evenbetter, you can pledge what you want and cancel when youwant. If you are interested in supporting us, check outpatreon.com/ragingswanpressorheadovertopatreon.comandsearchforRagingSwan!
