Since it's already come up and some of you may not be aware of the conversation, yes we are accepting prepayment for your first event. While we plan on making all first events free, the game needs to get its financial cards in order. Thus, if you choose to pay for your first event, you will receive 12 boon, which is twice the normal rate for monetary contributions. Furthermore, if you choose to turn it in at the playtest or mail it in prior the event, you will receive the boon beforehand. Among other things, this means you could spend it all at once to earn six skill points for your PC before you play. If you choose to wait, you'll have to stick to the two skill point per event cap.
If anyone else is interested in taking advantage of this, just let me know and I'll send you instructions.
