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). *Libre Works* - OpenTDD, <http://fossilbank.wikidot.com/work:openttd> a clone of Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
