Cedar Rapids Warmachine Support Drive
Donation protected
So much of what is heard in the WMH online community are hyperbolic statements about how metas are dying worldwide, with playerbases shrinking and interest in the game waning.
This is a case where the exact opposite is happening, and we are delighted to try and help in a good cause.
In brief, the Iowa Warmachine community is exploding. They ran a very successful 3-man team event earlier this year, and, after demand for another has exceeded local area resources for clocks, terrain, and zones, we have put together a small campaign to get them what they need to run this event.
The Cedar Rapids River Raiders are in need of the following:
12 Death Clocks
64 pieces of terrain
14 Zone Sets
10 Flags
24 Objectives
Working with our partners at Broken Egg Games to receive extremely good discounts on the pieces that they can provide, we have a goal of $850 for this Support Drive and we need it by September 28th to ensure that all the pieces can ship by their event on October 19.
Here’s where you come in.
We have set up a GoFundMe page for this drive, and if you have a spare dollar or two that you don’t mind helping out another WMH community with, please go donate!
Finally, we will be “silent auctioning” off a few things of our own. We will have a pinned post to the top of our facebook page with photos of these that people can pledge an amount to. At the end of the drive, we will contact the highest “bidder” for payment and any other relevant information. Starting bids for each item will be $10.
Item 1: Choose the topic of an LoS Episode!
Item 2: Come on LoS as a guest host!
Item 3: Choose an LoS host to paint a small or medium based model for you!
Item 4 - 8: A tournament legal Hermit of Hengehold conversion made by Bret or Jaden. This model will be comprised of 80-90% PP parts and be supplied primed.
What happens if we overfund?
Great question. We have been feeling for quite a while now that LoS ought to be in the business of helping metas grow in more than just an informational role, and any extra donations over our funding target will be put into a fund that will become part of a quarterly or bi annual drive for good causes in the community. This could be anything from replacing a stolen army or getting a new player some models to projects on the scale of growing new metas ability to host events like this one. The money will be accounted for in a publicly viewable google sheet with copies of receipts and explanations for all included in that document. We are committed to transparency and best ethical practices where this is concerned.
