Hi folks,

Another week, another update. This might be the last one for a bit, as I'll
be travelling for a few weeks and not have reliable access to the Internet.
There were several games added to the wiki this week that I haven't
included in the update: the publisher of those games is currently
considering a Creative Commons licence, so I'll include them in an update
when that's been settled.

I've added a new section in these updates: Fund Free Culture, for projects
on Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, Pozible and so on. If you spot any crowdfunded
libre stuff, please let me know.
*Fund Free Culture*

   - The Dragonprince’s Heir, the third novel in a fantasy trilogy. To be
   released under CC0 upon funding. Part of a broader scheme to set up an
   institute to fund writers. $4,500 raised of
$30,000<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/consortiumokc/help-release-the-dragonprinces-heir?ref=card>(12
days to go).
   - Dungeon World, an excellent tabletop roleplaying game based on *Apocalypse
   World. *The text is already under CC BY; the assets and backer rewards
   are all rights reserved (at least at this time). I wrote a piece on
this<https://livinglibre1.wordpress.com/2012/06/06/fund-free-culture-1-dungeon-world/>on
the blog. $34,000
   raised of 
$4,000<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sage-kobold/dungeon-world-a-game-with-modern-rules-and-old-sch-0>(21
days to go).
