Game designer Greg Stolze has opened donations for Greg’s Ultimate GM Article (no direct link, sorry!), which sounds interesting.
The ransom: $675 (when he gets $675 in donations, you can download the article for free). (Via the Forge.)

I’ve already dropped $10 towards the Cause. I hope everyone else puts in $5 or something. I’m really interested to what he’s got to say.
Personally, I’d like a 1-3 page PDF preview of the article.
I respect Greg Stolze, and I’m definitely interested in seeing what he has to say about GMing — but I’m very much a “browse before I buy” kind of guy.
I’d be all for paying except for two slight problems:
1) I have no way to know if it’s any good yet
2) I am broke
As you can probably tell, the latter is the bigger problem here. Oh well, I guess I’ll only have to wait $675. Maybe this is what I get for being one of the early supporters for ransomware?
masterzora: What other ransomware have you supported? Was it a satisfying experience?
Martin: Okay, that didn’t come across the exact way I meant. I have always been too broke for it, but I tell people about it often (and tell them to support it so I can get the freebies 🙂 I can say that part is satisfying). I guess I can’t cite anything specific, but I wholly support the model.
