Some upcoming changes
🕑 Added 2023-10-01 06:00:57 +0000 UTCHi guys,
Some upcoming changes to your reward tiers:
Paladins of Patreon:
I'll be moving some things from this tier into a public tier that everyone has access to.
The goal here is to make sure that the just-okay stuff like old wallpapers get people to visit the page, but that Paladins get the awesome stuff.
Weekly polls for which characters to focus on will return after:
- The second half of the Patreon Swor'nament
- The next update on the Time Knife saga
I'd like to return to a healthier posting routine of Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday - Cut the Deck, Makeship and the Patron Swor'nament plus some personal stuff have all caused me to post in a chaotic way this year. As there are no other new products on the horizon right now, I think a return to normalcy would be good for everyone.
I've had some mixed feedback about sharing new episodes as Textless posts on this tier, so instead of posting every new episode as its own Patreon update, I'll try to aim for a weekly digest of several new episodes in a single post.
I am no longer posting comics on X/Twitter. Because it sucks there. So I think my whole view of posting to every conceivable platform is probably going to change too.
Please follow the series on Webtoon and Tapas if you can, I'd appreciate it.
Scholars of Patreon:
Scholars of Patreon will be renamed to Gentry of Patreon
Gentry of Patreon will be receiving a physical set of stickers and a postcard every 3 months. I've ordered stock for the first two batches and they will start shipping at the beginning of November.
There are currently 39 people on this tier and I'll be happy to add an extra sticker per shipment if we raise it to 50, then again at 100.
I'm changing the name because with Pens & Papercuts shelved in favour of working with a team on Cut the Deck, this tier isn't really embodying the collaborative intention that the name Scholar was originally meant to imply. This will still be the first group invited to beta test our video game when we've got it a little more polished! Stay tuned for that!
It should be pretty interesting to see what the Final Fantasy 14 TTRPG's homebrew scene is like. Maybe you'll see me experimenting in that space after May next year.
Royals of Patreon:
Royals of Patreon will have Patreon-integrated merch reinstated soon. I'm sorry I never finished the world map like I set out to do, but the setting keeps growing with each new comic so it's simply become a never-ending task. Instead I'll be aiming to reveal a little bit about each of the 7 Demonic Realms, which have only been partially touched on in the series so far. There's a certain Unspeakable Name that you've all been obsessed with learning more about...
Anyone on this tier will be receiving a Kargob enamel pin in November along with their stickers. I'll send a reminder to update your addresses on Patreon by the end of October.
Feel free to chime in if there is any other housekeeping you'd like me to get on top of. Expect these changes to start rolling out in about a week when the Makeship vinyl campaign has ended and my order of other merch has arrived.
Stay sharp!
Thanks!
