Donations

Community Created and Funded

The Gongfarmer’s Almanac is produced by volunteers ranging from the first-time contributor to many names you’ll recognize as writers and artists from Goodman Game’s official releases. Volunteers participate in many ways, including project management, forum moderation, writing, artwork, cartography, editing, layout, proofing, and working with printers, shipping companies, and print-on-demand and PDF download distribution venues in order to make the whole project happen.

The initial publication is a series of approximately six to fourteen 48-68 page zines that are printed and distributed at Gen Con each year. Funding usually tries to cover about 100 copies of each zine (so 600-1400 individual copies!) and is obtained through donations. 100% of all donations goes towards printing and shipping costs.

After Gen Con, free PDF copies of each zine, along with a compiled volume of all zines, are made available for free on DriveThruRPG. Print copies of the zine are also made available at cost (and Lulu often has sales, sometimes up to 35% off). You can get all of these right now through our downloads.
