A Chaotic Cataloging: A Seasons of Hieron Fanzine hasn't added a story.
"The fire is a chaotic cataloging of the entire world, and it is writing itself as it goes along."
~ Winter in Hieron 12: A Chaotic Cataloging
A Chaotic Cataloging: A Seasons of Hieron Zine
is a charity fanzine inspired by the actual play podcast
Friends at the Table. This 80+ page zine features 60 contributors,
whose work highlights the characters and events of Autumn, Winter,
and Spring in Hieron. We are offering both a digital PDF version
and a physical printed zine in this single-run printing - along
with several merch options you can add on or purchase by
themselves!
Our campaign launch day also marks both the 10 year anniversary of Friends at the Table & Hieron ! Take a trip down memory lane and see new pieces about the first world that the Table Friends created.
Profits will go to the Palestinian Children's Relief
Fund!

Funds
The funds we raise will cover production and fulfillment costs first: printing, packaging, shipping, platform/payment fees, and taxes. Our goal of $12,000 will cover these expenses, allow us to pay a small stipend to participating artists, and still have money left to donate to charity.
If we exceed our goal, we'll be able to donate a greater percentage of the total funds!
The Charity
All profits from this campaign will be contributed to the
Palestinian Children's Relief Fund
, a highly respected nonprofit that has been working to
provide humanitarian relief to children in Gaza, the West Bank,
and across the Middle East for over 30 years.
