Y'all are absolutely shameless. Do your own work, or at least pay the people that'll do it for you rather than the other way around. For such a tiny no-name company to have this level of audacity and greed is baffling.

We do give free access to this area to our active testers. There are an also number of people who offered constructive feedback or marketing help who also have access here.

But we offered an advanced Kickstarter tier that included access to future versions, which a number of supporters selected, so we needed to have an area for them.

Now that the Kickstarter is over we also wanted to make these available to others that want to support the game. 

So how is this that different than say Patreon, which charges monthly for exclusive access? We just charge once. Or think of it as a private group that anyone can join even if they don’t playtest.

I also believe it to be a good value — you get access to all of our games, both past (through print-n-play & codes for cards at POD cost), and future through playtest files.

Are you exclusively an itch.io player? Do you support any creators other ways, via Patreon or other means? What other ways to you suggest creatives fund their games? 

Have you tried out our “pay what you want” core rules or community copies? Or purchased an inexpensive storyset? Give us some constructive feedback or report on results of actual play, and I’d be glad to give you a code for this area.
