Australian Bushfires Relief Sale

/in , /by

Fantasy AGE Basic Rulebook 20% off, with 30% of proceeds to Australian Bushfires ReliefGet Fantasy AGE RPG Basic Rulebook for 20% off in our Australian Bushfires Relief Sale, now through the end of January.

As you’ve probably heard, bushfires have been ravaging Australia for weeks. This is another example of natural disasters exacerbated by climate change, and the results have been catastrophic. So far 18 million acres of land have been burned and it is estimated that over a billion animals have been killed.

Nicole and I traveled to Melbourne the past couple of years for PAX Australia, and while there visited the Healesville Sanctuary to see the amazing array of wildlife down under. The numbers of dead and displaced animals are so large it’s hard to grapple with the scope of it. As a response to this tragedy, we are running a sale on the Fantasy AGE Basic Rulebook to benefit Wildlife Victoria and their Bushfire Appeal. From now through January 31, the game (both print and PDF) is on sale at 20% off and fully 30% of the proceeds will go to Wildlife Victoria. The money will go to “wildlife shelters and carers around the state that have been affected by the Victorian bushfires and extreme heat events.”

Charitable Giving Sale: The Innocence Project

/in , /by

Each month, Green Ronin selects a worthy cause to support through raised awareness and financial donation. For a limited time, we’ve placed Fantasy AGE Basic Rulebook and Fantasy AGE Companion on sale for 20% off, with 20% of proceeds to be donated to help the amazing work being done by the Innocence Project.

Support the Cause. Shop the Sale.

About The Innocence Project

Founded in 1992, the Innocence Project exonerates the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and spurs reform of the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. After more than 25 years of tireless efforts, it now serves as the core of a worldwide network of similar organizations, all dedicated to assisting and seeking justice for the wrongly convicted.

A noticeable majority of the cases successfully challenged by the Innocence Project has involved innocent men of color, accused of rape or murder, who were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death. By reopening these cases and introducing DNA evidence (that could have acquitted these men at the time of their original trials) the Innocence Project was able to exonerate them.

 

Race, religion, and ethnicity have all been shown to affect arrest and conviction rates. But the one factor that determines a person’s ability to fight a wrongful conviction is wealth. Lack of financial resources denies so many innocent people access to the legal resources necessary to secure an exoneration.

Poverty should not doom an innocent person to years of incarceration and/or execution. That’s why the Innocence Project, and its partner organizations, provide their services and support pro bono—to help bring justice to those wrongly convicted without the means to fight back.

 

If you’re interested in learning or doing more for this noble cause, please visit the Innocence Project’s website, where you’ll find a wealth of information about their efforts, along with a list of other local and regional organizations working to help address the issue of justice for those wrongly incarcerated.

We also recommend picking up the book Just Mercy by Bryan Stevens, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative—another organization which does similar work with a focus on mass incarceration, children in prison, and death penalty cases.

Expanding Our Support For Hurricane Victims

/in /by

Coffee Ronin Coffee MugYou probably know about our Green Ronin Online Store, but we have a second online store now. Our new Green Ronin Gift Shop features “swag,” like t-shirts, coffee mugs, poster maps, and more, bearing logos and art from our games. This store is separate from the Green Ronin Online Store for logistical reasons, and its products are printed and fulfilled on demand by the fine folks at Printful.

We are currently raising money in support of the victims of Hurricane Maria, which devastated Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. For a limited time, Fantasy AGE Basic Rulebook and the Fantasy AGE Bestiary are on sale in our Green Ronin Online Store at 10% off, and after the promotion, we will tally up the sales of those two books and donate 20% of proceeds to Hurricane Maria Community Relief and Recovery Fund.

Now we’ve decided to go one step further: Starting now, for the duration of the sale, we will donate all but $1 of the profits of every sale made in our Green Ronin Gift Shop to the same fund. There’s never been a better time to get a framed poster map of Freeport or a Coffee Ronin coffee mug.

Please check out the Green Ronin Gift Shop today, and help us help our fellow Americans in need.
