NEW HORIZONS (Big Changes at my Page since March)
🕑 Added 2020-02-25 20:32:41 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
There are many great news i’d like to share with you.
Changes are coming! And i’m happy to present it.
1. STORIES
Thanks to your overwhelming support (all of it - PMs, likes, comments on reddit, follows, pledges…) I’m starting to cooperate with my fiance Anton (he’s a writer) so all upcoming maps (starting with March) will be with some adventure behind it. It can be an encounter, quest, a boss fight or something else (neutral-system mechanics included).
My patrons will get a little bit more of it (variations, alternative routes, mechanics, additional quests, descriptions...)
PS Neither of us don’t know English good enough (we are from Russia), so we hired a person who knows it and can help us with this new feature (patreon post can be full of mistakes tho, простите, it’s me writing it).
2. CHARACTERS, MONSTERS AND MANY THINGS
As I’m starting to be more confident with my drawing skills so as an addition to the “Stories” upcoming maps (starting with March) will include character portraits, monster tokens, unique items cards or whatever comes to mind that will participate in our STORIES.
My patrons will get additional pics.
3. CYCLES
Starting this March all of upcoming maps, stories and things included will have a certain theme for 3 months. If theme is Cursed city, for 3 months you will get thematic quests, descriptions, events and encounters about it, characters that relate to it’s world, items that your group can find, maps with points of interests and many more.
4. CHANGES IN TIERS
That’s a tricky one, so I hope you will understand it. All of this new features require more production, time and effort, so I decided to add more things for my patrons, but change a 2$ TIER a little bit.
- No-patrons will still get all of the basic stuff (2 maps + stories +characters etc)
- 1$ (Adventurer tier) patrons additionally will get more portraits, item cards and additional story for the 3-rd only-for-patrons map.
- 2$ (Master tier) additionally will get a well-designed PDF-book with maps, stories and characters for reference (at the end of the month), additional map assets to place and all other assets in PNG, so you can change map for your adventure (or use this assets in future) more easier, PSD-templates for the Cycles...
But no more PSD for 2$. This will go on new TIER. I hope I give enough useful and easy-to-use stuff to replace the need for it. - 4$ (Creator tier), if you want to know how I do all of it. This include well-organised PSD file for each map, sketches of maps, characters, items etc, and my PROCESS of creating content for the month.
PLEASE be advised that you can control amount of money you spend on each map. I will still do 3 maps per month, but you can get every reward for the tier by paying even for 1 map.
And remember - ANY amount is greatly appreciated!
All pledges will be changed as soon as first new map of March will be upload (appr. 10-th of March). Maps of this month still be in "old" style. I will notify 2$ tier before it so you can decide if you welcome this changes or not.
(And sorry for no Poll for this month's maps- we are trying to figure this big things out. I promise that it will return on March with some more interesting choices).
Again, I’m deeply grateful for all the support you gave me!
Thank you for the great time!
