Between convention registrations, website upkeep, printing overhead expenses, and paying our talented and dedicated contributors, it turns out there are a lot of moving parts to running a planet! With your support, we can better pay our contributors, welcome more people onto the team, and further unfurl the map of this fantastical world.
