hello all!

this is a funding effort to help pay for therapeutic gm training. this training is run by a licensed therapist who is an expert on TA-RPGs, or therapeutically applied ttrpgs. that means when ttrpgs are used in therapy sessions to help the patients heal and grow

i got accepted as a student for the training, but now i am looking for help funding it! as a quite poor grad student the training is a big chunk of money for me (about a month and half worth of my pay for a month and a half long class)

the reason i am doing the training is because i am in the process of writing a thesis on TA-RPGs, which is leading into the development of my own dedicated TA-RPG. this is a multiplayer campaign game designed specifically to help teens and adults heal from complex trauma. if youre interested in reading about the game, you can do so here or find the zine summary of my thesis work here

i'm starting this funding goal at $500, which will cover some of the training!! if i can raise even more, that will be ideal. spreading the sale around would be super helpful also!!
