I'm starting a bit late but, hopefully, I'll be able to catch up. Here's my first piece, on patrons, that I posted over on my blog.

When we look up the definition of patron, the most common results are some variation of: an influential supporter or financial sponsor of an individual, intuition, or cause. I think it works well enough considering the common usage of patrons in tabletop-roleplaying games though it omits the motivations and goals of the patron. What does the patron want? Why do they want it? What are they willing to do to get it?
