Like roleplaying games? Like board games? Like computer games? Support the top independent tabletop roleplaying site on the internet with a membership! Not only will you help the site, but you'll also receive membership privileges and several great roleplaying PDFs!

RPGnet is the top independent web site for tabletop roleplaying games. The heart of our site is one of the most talked-about forums in the industry — with 12,000 active members and 19 million posts. We also publish several gaming reviews every week and a few columns. Finally, we maintain a constantly expanding catalog of roleplaying products that currently indexes 20,000 games and supplements, 2,000 magazines, and 36,000 articles.

All of this costs money, so in 2013 we decided to turn to crowdfunding to encourage readers to become members, to support the site. The drive was successful, so we've turned into a yearly tradition.

In years past, the membership drive has enabled us to restore the search function, move the machines to a cloud platform, revising our reviews system, improve review browsing, enhance mobile access, improve of security, upgrade column tagging, and to move our forums to a cloud platform.

This year we've got a variety of awesome PDFs thanks to our generous product sponsors:

  • BLAZON from Fantasy Heartbreaker
  • Scion: Origin and the Scarred Lands Player's Guide from Onyx Path
  • Colonial Gothic from Rogue Games
  • Fairyland from Rogue Games
  • The Fall of Delta Green from Pelgrane Press
  • Suzerain Legends from Savage Mojo

Though ads and affiliations pay some of our costs, we are picky about which ads and ad networks we use, so that we can maintain high-quality ads that are likely to be of interest and that won't distract (or annoy!) our readers. We've opted out of high-value ads that include audio, that expand, or that are placed as interstitials between pages. We forbid dating ads, gambling ads, gold-farming ads, political ads, and certain other categories of advertising. 

As a result, we occasionally ask RPGnet readers to become members, in order to help support the community. We hope that you'll join us and help to support the RPGnet community!

Our goal for this IndieGoGo crowdfunding is simple: we want you to become an RPGnet member. Every single reward other than the $5 support level will grant you a membership at RPGnet. Most of them provide membership for the next year, but we also offer Lifetime Memberships for Patrons and others who want to offer a higher level of support.

As a member, you'll receive a few benefits as thanks.

The following membership bennies are locked in:

  • Cool PDFs. Becoming a member is how you get access to the PDFs our sponsors are providing.
  • Early Columns Access. You can read columns before they're posted.
  • Early Review Access. You can read reviews before they're posted.

Hi, I'm Rose, editor-in-chief at RPGnet!

RPGnet's close to my heart. I've been a reader and forum member for 20 years, from looking for game reviews for my college group to cutting my professional teeth on forum design challenges. RPGnet is a friendly, inclusive, and above all creative community that's simply irreplaceable.

Curating the reviews, moderating the forums, and performing maintenance are labors of love. Your memberships give us the resources to continue with that good work -- to provide an independent voice on games, to provide a space for thought-provoking discussion, and to keep the lights on in the internet's best virtual gaming cafe.

I love this site. Join me in keeping it an amazing place for the next 20 years!

--Rose
