[QUOTE="dhunton, post: 6050173, member: 72040"] I’m sorry that it seems that way. Our research (and advisors) said that it was important to not to be too verbose on the pledge page. We would be happy to answer any questions you might have. As it says on the funding page, the initial collection is valued at approximately one-quarter of a million dollars. That is just the D&D section of the collection, and includes items from Chainmail through 4th Edition. It does include many very rare and hard-to find items, including a variety of promotional items. But of course, it also includes things like a 2nd Edition Player’s Handbook, as it was the first book many gamers owned, so has a strong place in gaming history. The plan is to first acquire the items which are not in this collection, then to acquire additional copies of the items already on loan to the museum. The business plan is in draft at this point, as it cannot be finalized until the final location is chosen, so initial and annual costs can be calculated. The staff will be primarily volunteer (with a small annual payment to the curators, primarily for legal reasons, and not to cover our living expenses, which will be taken care of through other means). We do have volunteers in place who have experience with obtaining government grants, which will be used to expand the museum’s collection, and cover additional expenses as needed. However, in order to file for these grants, the museum must be open and operating for at least one year. The free entrance is at the FIRST pledge ($15), and is primarily intended as a thank-you, and something you wouldn’t need to use, but would frame or put in a souvenir book. The entrance cost will not be fixed, but will operate as a donation (very similar to what the Museum of Natural History in New York City does). Please feel free to email us with any questions you might have, for this museum will belong to all of us, and we are happy to provide whatever information you might require.
