Fundraising Update

Genesisians,

Because I know not everyone who plays the game peeks into the Official
Forum, I wanted to give an update here on the Common Board.

The donation campaign for the promotion of Genesis is off to a fantastic
start! In just 30 days, nearly $2,800 USD has been donated by fewer than
20 people. I never doubted for a moment that there would be a response, but
I do admit to being surprised that so much would come from just a handful
of our players. We cannot thank these players enough!

Rather than a given dollar amount, participation is the goal of this donation
campaign. On the thread created on the Forum, I listed 30 participants
coming forward to be a good specific goal. In a month's time, we are
just under two-thirds of the way to reaching that goal. Some people might
be sheepish about contributing small amounts of money, but I want to assure
everyone that participation is the goal, not large amounts. The giving has
ranged from $10 to $500 from idividual donors. Any amount is wonderful to
see, and will bring us closer to our dream of building a deep new base of
players with whom to share our community.

Today, on the Official Forum, I have unveiled the website banner created
by Denis Loubet, the artist we have hired to create our visual brand. To
view this banner, and to learn more about him, check the following URL:

And, if you have not yet had a chance to contribute to the campaign, but
are interested in participating, information is available here:

Thanks so much, everyone!
