Tips

Purchasing a tip works much like making any other purchase. You will have a chance to verify the purchase, supply a credit card if needed and use any of your own credits. The feedback will include a note about the tip amount if you do choose to include a tip.
Tips can be used by the gamemaster to make any purchase from the marketplace at full value. Additionally, they can payout the credits to a PayPal account. Note: Payouts for tips do include a processing fee of $1 plus 10% of the tip to cover Shard Tabletop processing fees from credit card and PayPal processing.
