Essex Friends & Alumni matchfunded £250
By
RPG Society
Colchester
RPG stands for Role-Playing Games: these can be anything from your typical Dungeons and Dragons to a variety of other systems but usually involves a GM (Game Master) who tells the story and Players who interact with the world through their characters. We are the University of Essex RPG society and we are trying to raise fund to buy new handbooks for our members
The RPG society has been active at the University of Essex for 5 years and each year we host dozens of games every single day of the week! And in order to keep this up we have started this crowdfunding campaign. This year we will also be introducing more social nights in which we play board, tabletop, and trading card games as well as one-shot campaigns which we were hoping would help in getting lesser known systems a spotlight.
We are raising funds through this crowdfunding campaign in order to be able to buy more player and DM handbooks. We are hoping that this will facilitate games and character creation as well as expand the horizons of our members in terms of new systems.
This is extremely important for us because for so long we have been relying on our members to bring their own books, which is fine but we want to provide them, because each book can be quite a commitment.
By donating you'll be assuring not only this year's but all forthcoming years' members of the society will be benefited by the purchase of these books ^_^
Each book typically costs between £20 and £30 which would allow us to buy at least 10 new books though hopefully more.
We will be asking our members for their suggestions and opinions on which system's books to buy so a detailed breakdown is out of the scope for now
We have some fab rewards to thank everyone who donates, whatever the amount you might give. Check them out!
All donors also get three votes towards choosing which books should be purchased. Books will be purchased from most to least popular until we run out of funds. You cannot get more than three votes by donating multiple times.
Email vsalgu@essex.ac.uk if you have any queries
Select this reward if you just want to donate to the project without receiving a reward.
