Since the episode aired we knew we would be getting a lot of attention from the non-gamer community and the public eye. We still want to fulfil our dream of having an owned and dedicated site to play on, so we started listening to secondary investors, as well as rolling out our own crowd funding project. We established a GoFundMe page in an effort to help raise capitol, so we can accomplish our dreams without Dragon support. We’re happy to say we’re 1/3 of our way there and we’re grateful to any and all that can donate or have already donated. I’ve been asked in the past why the larping community, as a whole, should support us in our goals. Rewards for donating aside, I don’t have a solid reason outside of just supporting the community. Six years ago Edward and I decided to take a percentage of our profits from every game and create a Player in Need fund (PiN). If a player falls on hard times, loses their job, or can’t afford food, we give them money. This comes out of our pocket for the most part, although other players can donate, and since we’ve established it we’ve helped dozens and dozens of people. We’ve sadly had a couple players pass away unexpectedly over the last couple years and we scraped together just over $2000 for the families they left behind. Underworld LARP regularly donates to charity and we’ve planning on hosting a blood drive in the spring. We don’t just take care of our own, we help other games the best we can. Last year a tornado ripped through the site of one of our competitors, ending their season early. We donated what we could to see them rebuild and get back into the game. There is no moral obligation to do this, other than to be kind and supportive. We want to support LARP, we want to see people happy in their hobby, and we want our community to grow. We don’t give selflessly so that it’ll come around. It’s great if it does, but that’s not the point. We will always pay it forward. That is what a strong community does. We don’t give selflessly so that it’ll come around. It’s great if it does, but that’s not the point. We will always pay it forward. That is what a strong community does. We are larpers. We have been the underdogs in the gaming/nerd community for as long as I can remember. That’s changed a bit as LARP becomes a little more mainstream but we can’t forget our roots. We have always had each others backs and we want to keep it that way. Underworld is dedicated to helping the community with their dreams, if you can help us too, great!
