An overview of community projects for Legend of Dragoon. Some are for expanding our knowledge of the game, others are for entertainment. Through and through, all community projects exist to create some kind of benefit for the fandom’s sake. Projects are listed below with a brief summary.
Looking to help out? See our Help Wanted page. No skills or experience? No problem! Some tasks are for everyone, like general outreach. No time but want to help financially? Scroll below the Benched Projects table or click here to jump down.
Helping out is voluntary! Keep a healthy life balance and don’t let any of these tasks or projects become too much of a job. The goal is to share the workload between many volunteers, rather than shoulder everything on a select few.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I don’t have time/energy/skill. Do you accept donations?
A: Yes! At this time, you can donate to Monoxide to support Severed Chains, or DrewUniverse for anything else.
Q: I’d like to help with a project but I’m not sure I have the skill. Can I still try to help?
A: It depends. Some projects, such as the wiki, include basic training and it’s easy to get into. Other projects really need specific skills and training may not be available. There may be free resources online, however. Ultimately, there’s always something to do that requires no skill – like spreading the word to fellow LoDers who may not have found our home or its knowledge yet.
