In less than 48 hours, TTRPGkids launches their first Crowdfundr!

Rewards range from games to creator perks and shoutouts to community copies!

Sign up for launch now to get in on day 1, please share to help this be a success, and thank you for supporting TTRPGkids!

https://crowdfundr.com/TTRPGkids2023

#TTRPGkids #crowdfundr #crowdfunding #ttrpg #dndkids

TTRPGkids supports creators for free, but the site and plans to expand still cost money, so I'm hoping to fund some initial efforts (like a game print and conventions) that will help generate sustainable funding.

You can support by signing up for pre-launch so you get in on some fun rewards (games, shoutouts, and more) and/or by sharing the campaign so others can find it! Both help!
