I thought it might be a good idea to have a centralized location of information that we might need to readily access.
As information is provided/shared, I'll be happy to update this post.
Perhaps a moderator would be willing to "pin" this thread.
Also, if there is information you'd like here, just shoot me a PM with the question and link (if possible) and I'll update this post.
Q. I want to give financial help, what can I do ? A.
We are currently in the process of finding out what options are actually available to us. Once we've figured out that part, we'll need to decide which available option to pursue. At that point, depending on the decision, we may need to start building the war chest.
Q: How about Kickstarter/Chip-In/Indiegogo/some other crowd-funding site?A: We have looked into almost all the "donate to a cause" sites extensively.
-- Kickstarter is a no-go right out of the gate for buying/licensing the IP. You can only Kickstart new endeavors, so it's a long-off possibility for the spiritual successor (Plan Z)....but again, a long-off possibility. We haven't even gotten to laying the groundwork, let alone holding our hands out for money. And it may come that Plan Z doesn't even get out of the dreaming phase.
-- Indiegogo is a possibility if and when Plan Z gets to that point, but again won't work for buying/licensing the City IP.
-- Chip-In is more geared toward individuals working for a specific goal/bill to pay/general "I need money"/whatev. City IP/Plan Z are both way too big and way too broad for it.
-- Almost all the other "donate to a cause" sites are not big enough to assist either of our causes.
