Before everything else, before I thought about the content and layout of The Hearth Magazine, I had a good think about what the magazine would be committed to. I knew if the magazine was going to have any longevity it had to have a solid foundation to work from. That meant standing for things that matter in the TTRPG space I wanted THM to be a part of.

You can read the details about our Commitments on our webpage, but here is the bullet point list:

We haven't been perfect at all of these, but having these commitments in place from the start meant I could continue to work at them every issue. It also gave me a solid guide for how Prairie Dragon Press and The Hearth Magazine would handle itself in the online space, between magazine issues. Before we jump into publishing Volume 2 there will be a review of what we did and plan to do, so we do it even better in 2027!

If this sounds like something you would like to support, I hope you'll spread the word about this Backerkit and help us find other folks who want to support these commitments.
