I just developped a an Extraction Tool that takes info from a Game Wiki  and allows selections and searches on a multitude of Game Objects to better plan  gathering and assembling of Collections & Artifacts .... I see it as a real Game Changer especially for lower to intermediate players or those with very limited playing time since it allows to avoid costly (in time) planning errors..

I will do a Blog and make it available fro free with Instructions on how to UPDATE yourself if people don't want to wait on my regular updates since the Game constantly adds Items & New Collections .. I spent a few 100's hours deleopping this tool by myself on Laptop that has a broken screen ( 1.5 in of the left is Black because of a bad fall cracked the display) ... Since I have limited means,  it will take me another month to get the total 130$CDN needed to replace the screen.

I got the idea listening to a Podcast that I could put a note at the bottom of the blog entry that is people find it useful to their games and have a few cents or dollars to spare they could send it to my Paypal or to a Patreon account and that way I'll have money to maintain my computer properly ... After the screen then it will be the cost of Office365 (I know I could use Open Office but I have an IT background and I'm very proficent in the Office suit)... Atloutgh if someone were to offer me a contribution on the condition of an Open Office versio, I'd consider porting the tool ...

So, after thisl very lenghty preamble:  Is there rules for or against  solliciting readers for volountary contributions via Paypal,m Patreon, Tipee or other type of socio-financing site ?

I don't want to make it a business, but I would not mind having the means to change my screem, maintain my software subscriptions and eventually buy a couple of external disks for backups...

P.S. If there is documentation on this please provide a link and don't RTFM me :) I did a few searches on the Topic but came out blank ...
