Hi, I'm Kevin Kitchens and welcome to the ones upon a game patreon.

Many of you may know me from my prior blog on Board Game Gulag (aka BGG). Over the years there, I made many contributions to the gaming community in the form of videos, customizations, solo options, and more. Unfortunately, my time on BGG (as an active member) came to an unexpected and unfortunate end on January 7, 2021.

After surviving COVID and this (now seen as minor) setback, I have been for the last 18 months migrating as much of my previous content to my own blog site onesuponagame.com. My YouTube channel is likewise still active as is my page on Facebook.

Since March 2016 (over six years now!) I've hosted Aggregator sites for compiling BGG game plays from soloists, wargamers, and couples into an easy to search, easy to research interface for gamers. In addition, my auctiontools site has become the gold standard for folks building auction posts on BGG.

For the past several years, I've shouldered all the expense of my own server and software licenses, but as the sites grow in popularity, the expenses have increased as well.

And I have more ideas planned for gamers in the very near future.

In the past, on the "Gulag", I was content to receive thumbs and "geek gold" from the other inmates. My content generated a very successful number of not just those resources, but positive comments as well. I thank the good users of BGG for their long time encouragement.

But now I'm asking for your support.

I know right now the economy is tight and if you're in a situation where you cannot pledge, I understand completely. But if you find the resources I provide to be of value, then I would appreciate you partnering with ones upon a game to keep the creativity flowing.

I will be looking toward ways to make special recognition of those who support me in this endeavor. If you have suggestions, please let me know.

Thank you and may God continue to bless you.
