Patreon
Hi! I'm Bob Dunham, and since 2016, I've been the CEO of Mystwood. The game has had a lot of really great ideas for improvement from the community over the last few years, and in the short term, I want to use Patreon, at first, to make one of these great ideas a reality.
A lot of us can't donate to a game with major purchases or with our time, but we'd hardly miss a dollar a month. So I am setting up this Patreon with the express purpose of subsidizing those of us who want to play, but can't afford it. Players who need some help need simply ask by e-mail or Facebook, and we (the Game Directors), will simply transfer funds from the Patreon without making it public.
If this Patreon is very successful, I think our next goal would be to have more feast and holiday events, renting the halls with these Patreon funds and reducing the cost to everyone for these optional, mostly roleplay sessions. And then... who knows what's in store?
It is super important to note that the success or failure of this Patreon will have no effect on first time players- they'll still get their first game free, with the usual caveats.

Mystwood has been around since 2011, and since we've been running, we've seen players come and go. For some of those departing players, the problem of being able to pay for the game has been the deciding factor. We've set up a Patreon, a monthly subscription, to help alleviate some of that burden, and help more people play.
While this valuable method addresses the needs of the community, without an existing community, the Patreon just can't function. Strangers won't pay to help others come to a game- only we will, those of us who love Mystwood, love our friends, and want to help everyone enjoy our game- every Event, every Chronicle, every minute.
With all this, we'd like to use this space to thank our Patreon Supporters of $5 and over. Some of our Patrons have opted not to be listed here. These unsung heroes are every bit as appreciated.
