[QUOTE="Egg Embry, post: 7869532, member: 6808965"] This edition of [B][I]RPG Crowdfunding News[/I][/B] focuses on RPG crowdfunding projects that end between Friday, December 20th and the day after Christmas: The Christmas Batch. Why end your campaign during the time of the year when continents of the world are on holiday?
