Why are you charging me for these special episodes?

Many podcasters ask for donations for their shows, in order to support the costs associated with storage, bandwidth, equipment and the time it takes to produce content. These donations help the podcaster to improve his or her show, as well as validate the podcaster’s efforts, knowledge and experience.

Your donations help to make this show better, and help defray the costs associated with content production. I would like to give something back to those who donate, and this product is a carefully thought-out resource that I created as a thank you to those who support the show. If this idea proves successful and is supported by audience members, I will provide other “special” episodes, in the future, to those who donate. But I will also continue to provide the free episodes to which the audience has grown accustomed.

Keep in mind, also, that these episodes, collectively, contain MUCH more material than the standard Shakespeare and Dragons episode; the included PDF book is a complete set of essays, notes, templates and worksheets, a complete tutorial and workbook, and not just a set of show notes. You will get everything you need for your story-centered monster building…
