Announcement:
The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 has affected not just our health but our jobs, social lives, and economy. In this time of need, the RPG Creators Relief Fund would like to remind role-playing game creators that our organization is here to help you.

If you have suffered a personal financial crisis due to health issues, sudden job loss, or some other emergency, you can apply for assistance from the RCRF. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, the RCRF remains ready and able to assist RPG creators in financial need at this time. Due to the pandemic situation, we hope to accelerate our grant process through the month of June, so if you wish to apply for assistance we encourage you to do so as soon as possible.

Are you an RPG creator in financial need? You can apply for assistance by filling out our application form.

We all love tabletop RPGs, and we respect the people who create them. But most people who create tabletop RPGs are freelancers and other folks who often work for much lower income than they could earn in other industries — they create games because they love them, not because they expect to get rich. That means if tragedy strikes, a tabletop RPG creator may not have insurance or enough savings to cope properly.

That’s where the Roleplaying Game Creators Relief Fund comes in. We love tabletop RPGs and would like the hobby to remain vibrant. We believe that helping talented creators continue to work in the RPG field does just that. So we’d like to offer some assistance to tabletop RPG creators who experience medical emergencies, injuries, and other catastrophic circumstances they’re not able to handle financially.

We need your help with this! Donations from tabletop RPG fans like you are what provide the RCRF with the funds to help tabletop RPG creators in need. Even if you can’t donate money, telling other people about the RCRF through word of mouth and social media is a big help. The higher our profile is, the more creators we can help.

Not everyone is high enough level to cast a Cure spell, but maybe we can all chip in to buy a Healing Potion or two.
