20 Days of Handmade: Worlds Without Master

Have you joined the Patreon horde yet? Might I recommend the latest from Ennie Award Winning Dread creator Epidiah Ravachol? Worlds Without Master is a gaming story art adventure creation that uses the Patreon system of funding to come straight to your inbox every few months. Volume 1 issue 6 dropped this month and features short stories, comics, illustrations, great cover art and more.

What the hell is Patreon you ask yourself? It is a funding platform that is very compatible with small creators. Supporters pledge to projects they like forĀ  a certain dollar amount and are only charged when the creator sends out product in the form of a PDF magazine, YouTube video, or what have you. Unlike other crowdfunding platforms, it ensures a steady stream of funding for people who are doing long term projects.

Worlds Without Master has several levels that you as a backer can choose from. For a mere $5 per issue you and a friend can receive the latest to your inbox. I am a firm believer in paying for creative content, so support those who work to put out new material! To hell with the Huffington Post. Eppy is managing to pay each contributor to Worlds Without Master and when he reaches his next Patreon Milestone Goal, he’ll be paying himself for his own fiction as well. Join the horde and onward to adventure!

20 Days of Handmade: Black and Green Games

black and green gamesBlack and Green Games is the independent game publishing imprint founded by the great Emily Care Boss in 2005 and my pick for this 11th day of handmade. I highly recommend following her on the Twitter where she talks about gender issues and re-tweets a great diversity of voices in gaming.

If you’re in Massachusetts or nearby, check out Jiffycon, which she founded in 2006. You can also check out her shop site to peruse and buy her own RPGs such as Shooting the Moon and Remodel. If you’re interested in gaming or learning about gaming, spend some time link hopping at Black and Green Games. Stereotypes begone! There’s a whole world of gaming out there waiting to be discovered.
