You help in any of those five ways.
Money, code, copy, word of mouth, a good bug report. All five columns count, and none of them outranks another on this page.
The Ledger
Every name that
keeps the lamp lit.
Steward is free and stays free. This is the page where the debt gets written down: the people who pay for the hosting, who fixed the code, who sharpened the copy, who told someone else, and who found the bug before your table did.
Five columns, all the same size. Money comes first because it pays the bills, not because it counts for more.
The first page is blank. This ledger opens today with every column empty and every line waiting. If you support Steward from here on, this is where your name goes, written exactly the way you ask for it, or left out entirely if you would rather not be named.
Patrons
Monthly support through Patreon or Ko-fi. They pay for the hosting, the domain and the hours.

Supporters
One-time support through Ko-fi. A single round of ink, no commitment attached.
No names yet. The first line of this column is open.
Hands

No names yet. The first line of this column is open.
Heralds

No names yet. The first line of this column is open.
Playtesters

01 / Permission first
How a name gets
written here.
Nothing appears on this page by default. You choose whether you are named, and how.
You say how you want to be written.
A first name, a full name, a table name, a handle, a channel. Whatever you send is what gets used.
You are never added by default.
Nothing appears here until you say yes. If you say nothing you stay unnamed, and only the count changes.
You can be taken off at any time.
Write to hello@stewardrpg.com and the line is struck out, no questions asked.
02 / The other promise
What a name here
is never worth.
- It never buys a class, a subclass, a feature or a rule. Those belong to everyone, funded or not.
- It is never ranked by how much was given. Inside a column the order is alphabetical, nothing else.
- No amount is ever published next to a name, or anywhere on this site.
- No name is ever published without permission, and no name is ever sold or shared.
There is room for you here
The first line
of every column is open.
Support the project, or help it in any of the other four ways. Any of them can earn a line, with your permission.
