Hi there! I'm supporting a number of Kickstarters recently - Small World II, Story Realms, Sails of Glory and so forth. But one, at the moment stands out. It's a neat little roleplaying system brought out by one of my Livejournal friends and while it's nifty in itself, and has been funded, I ask you to have a look at it for this reason only...
They're at a little over $8000 at the moment.
"Stretch Goal 3: Education is a Right ($10 000)
An alternative title for this stretch goal was “Information wants to be Free”.
If we can reach a total of 10K of pledges, we will send free copies of the Spark RPG to libraries or schools. Anyone who pledges at the LEGEND tier or higher will get a chance to identify a particular school or public library to whom I will donate a copy of the Spark RPG. I will also write up a short teachers guide to help educators use Spark in a classroom environment.
Additionally, I will change the game’s license from Creative Commons Non-Commercial, Non-Derivative, to a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Attribution license (CC BY 3.0). What his means is that everyone will have an open license to change Spark and to sell any derivative works commercially if they would like.
Last but certainly not least, I will devote some additional time and expense to expand the “A Spark in Fate Core” article and release it to the world as a free PDF. This stretch goal will give me the funding necessary to expand on the content, get it professionally edited, and possibly commission a little art to jazz it up. "
Isn't that fantastic?! I feel very strongly about RPGing, I love it, and to be able to spread it out to people who might never otherwise encounter it and give them the tools to develop their own makes me very excited.
So please consider.
