Save Mom's July
Donation protected
My mom is having a bad July: she's just recently out of a job (after having an unexpectedly troubling last week on the job with some bad stuff happening less than a mile away ) Right afterward, her AC gave out in her Baltimore rowhouse, and while investigating possible causes, discovered that her basement had flooded, ruining nearly everything down there.
She's already gotten her final paycheck for her job and had it evaporate dealing with complications from the basement flood, and doesn't have the money to get AC. She'll have some amount of unemployment while she continues her search for a new job, but that will only go so far.
I'm helping where I can - I just know it won't be enough. So I've come up with a few things that I can give away in the hopes of raising some cash for her to hopefully bridge the gap until she can find a new job, and turn this July into something better.
Here's what I'm offering (email me - dave at critical-hits.com after donating to tell me which one of these you want):
Donate $10 or more and I'll send you a print and play PDF of a game I'm working on - an 18 card Werewolf-style game that can be played anywhere and doesn't require a moderator, an app, or even a playing surface. (Unlimited)
Donate $25 or more if you want to get a Jack L. Chalker trading card from the Walter Day Science Fiction Historical Trading Card Series. (10 available) Donate $50 or more if you want to get a set of the Science Fiction Historical Trading Cards that we were given alongside the Chalker ones. (4 available.)
Donate $30 or more and I'll send you PDFs of the Hugo-nominated The Science-Fantasy Publishers: A Bibliographic History 1923-2004 AND all its supplements by Jack L. Chalker and Mark Owings. (Unlimited)
Donate $50 or more for consulting of your board/card game prototype. I'll read rules/cards/etc. for whatever you send me and give you my feedback. I can also playtest if you find me at a convention (Gen Con, Metatopia, Unpub, or PAX Unplugged) and we set up a time. (10 available)
Donate $100 or more and I'll ship you some leftover swag that I've received in my 13 years in running Critical Hits. There's games, t-shirts, CDs, NASA literature, and more. (5 available)
Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll consider donating and/or sharing to get my mom's summer back on track.
