How You Can Help RP Grow
/Hey beloved roleplayers!
For over a year now we've been slowly building RPHQ up to what we dream it to be. Since then, I've spent most of my free time trying to keep that momentum going. Without the help of certain dedicated individuals (you know who you are!) I wouldn't have the energy left to keep going. We've made some incredible progress but there are still big dreams to fulfill!
If you agree with those dreams, I urge you to check out the thread linked below. It is a list of projects and positions at RPHQ that we'd like to get off the ground.
The primary goals of this site remain A) to give RPers a place to work together, be inspired, hang out, etc and B) to spread the word of roleplaying to those who don't know about it.
However, a secondary goal of RPHQ.org has always been to make it possible for dedicated roleplayers/creative people to get paid to do what they love. We would love to have a large enough viewer base to make some of that money off of ads one day, but we also have plans for a store where you can buy RPG gear, books and merchandise. Additionally, we do have a Patreon donation page, all of which goes straight into this site!
For now, these positions are on a volunteer basis, but perhaps one day we can make both our primary and secondary goals a possibility!
Either way, if you're looking for something to channel your creative energy into, look no further, my friends!
