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.”

Our previous sale, benefiting the Trevor Project, ran a while longer than we intended, but generated a nice amount to donate to them. Our new sale in our Charitable Giving Initiative benefits the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.

While the sale runs, both the print and PDF versions of three Mutants & Masterminds books, Deluxe Hero’s Handbook, Atlas of Earth-Prime, and Freedom City, are on sale for $5 off, and for each sale item sold we will donate $10 to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.

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.

When you shop the sale, we will donate 20% of proceeds to the Houston Food Bank and Houston Humane Society.

The Gauntlet: Moxtropolis

/in , /by

This year Team Green Ronin is happy to be participating in The Gauntlet 2015, a friendly gaming-for-charity event that will pit us against other Seattle-area teams such as reigning champs Paizo Publishing, Bungie Studios, the Lady Planeswalker Society, GeekGirlCon, Valve, and many others in a tabletop game tournament on May 16th. Here’s a little more information from the organizers’ page:

The Gauntlet: Moxtropolis is a fundraising tournament for the benefit of Hopelink, a charity whose mission is to support homeless and low-income families on their way to self-sufficiency. On May 16th, 2015, teams will gather to compete in a contest of skill and chance at Mox Boarding House in Bellevue, WA.

Teams of four, from local community groups and businesses, will raise donations for Hopelink. These donations will unlock power-ups to aid them as they compete in a series of table top games to win glory, and victoriously hoist the Gauntlet! This event is sponsored by ENGAGE – Card Kingdom and Mox Boarding House’s charitable giving program.

Bungie has raised an incredible $23,546 as of this writing. Green Ronin’s goal is a little more modest. Team members Chris Pramas, Donna Prior, Nicole Lindroos and honorary-Ronin Ray Winninger all have individual fundraising pages and goals that tie back to the team’s page. Nicole set her personal goal at $3000 only to learn that last year many teams didn’t even raise that amount. However, Nicole responded with, “I do not [fool] around when I raise money for charity.”

Just $3.00 provides a meal for a family of four through Hopelink’s program. Consider a small donation if you can, and please help Team Green Ronin spread the word. Thanks!
