Well the Personal Adventures Board is now open! We have decided to create adventures based on detail, so each adventure will have its own cost. The board has its own readme thread, please look it over.
Anytime a donation is requested that is real money, the kind you can walk in Mc Donald's with and ask for a happy meal Forum money (often refered to as FP or forum points) is used to buy inhouse items and is not a contribution to the forum, only to the user.
Personal Adventures is a way you can help contribute to the forum and at the same time have fun. Most members like to know they get something in return rather than just simply donate, although there are some that do this.
I think a $5-$10 donation is obtainable for most and more than fair for the user. Though having wrote a D & D Adventure for some friends years back it is a lot of work and the cost should be higher to be fair to the designer.
I for one would pay the $ 20 per adventure.
Krakyn, although the compliment is nice, all you merely have to do as a start is Upgrade your account (see the Comparison Page)and you will get access to many of the RPGs here without the need to start a Personal Adventure. People who use Personal Adventures usually want a current character they have to progress faster than the party is doing.
