Supporting independent press at Geek Native

September 8, 2025 by Andrew Leave a Comment

We believe the internet should be free. While many move behind paywalls, at Geek Native we are committed to keeping our tabletop games news accessible to everyone. To make this possible, we operate on a modern, community-supported model, funded by a mix of Patreon backers, affiliate commissions, sponsorships, and on-site ads.

Kraken and rosette

We handle the complexities of digital publishing so you don’t have to. If you’re one of our readers then what matters is that by simply visiting, you are actively supporting a free and independent press. To acknowledge this, we award readers a unique rosette on their first visit, and on random return visits, as a thank you for being part of our community.

The rosette is a curio, designed by co-owner and artist Bronwen Winter Phoenix. With a touch of cyber-fantasy, it’s the sort of design that would attract in-character attention in any tabletop roleplaying game it might appear in. Click on it for a special thank you.

This rosette is more than just eye candy; it’s a symbol of our charter. It represents our promise that while advertisements and partnerships keep our doors open, they never buy our opinions. In an age where authenticity is paramount, our editorial integrity is non-negotiable. That’s how we’ve built our clout and our community.
