I've considered a Kickstarter, but I'm not sure exactly what I would use the money for. Perhaps some professional artwork or music. I am trying to get Aberoth Greenlit on Steam, however. You can see it at: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=930412...
You could use it to just live on. That's kind of the point of the patronage system. You need time to work, and you need food and housing during that time.
