[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6571753, member: 1"] It's a patronage system, rather than a subscription system. A bit like being a patron of the arts during the Rennaissance, except it's crowdfunded. So you decide what you think articles and adventures are worth to you. $1, $1000, whatever. You pledge that amount per article, and when we make an article, we get paid that much. You choose how much - you get them whatever you pledge (it's basically a pay-what-you-want system). The added bonus is you can add a monthly cap, so you will never pay more than that per month. You still get everything, but the cap you set prevents the monthly cost exceeding what you feel it's worth/can afford/want to pay. No, you don't get charged for back issues, and yes you get them all. Think of it like this: you're not paying for articles, you're paying someone to[I] create[/I] articles. So the existing articles - they're done. You don't have to pay for them (as long as you're a patron and contributing *something*). But if you want the creators to make [I]more[/I] articles for you, then you pledge an amount towards that. As long as enough people pledge, we make more. Does that make sense? You will never be charged more than you say you want to be charged, however much or little that is. We publish 4 (sometimes 5, but mainly 4) items per month. So if you feel $5 per month is your limit, you could maybe pledge $2 per article, but with a cap of $5 per month. You'd still get the all, but you wouldn't pay more than $5 total. [/QUOTE]
