July Content Update
🕑 Added 2022-07-02 06:27:24 +0000 UTC
Hey Everyone!
This is a lengthy one, so TL;DR.:
1.: Good progress on backlog and scheduling
2.: CriticalOneShots is shuttering their Patreon, BUT we are keeping the Collab going
3.: Upcoming Website and Software (might want to read into this one;))
4.: Videos and Streaming scheduling (1 stream and 1 vid every week)
5.: New Art Content! (Sceneries, Battlemaps, etc. Poll coming up soon!)
Scheduling and Backlog:
Those of you that have been supporting me for a while might have realised that in the last few weeks the amount of content increased from the previous months. I am still working back the backlog of content that I need to release before I catch up to original scheduling.
I am happy to say, this is well on it's way, and I will catch up this month!
For eliminating this issue in the future, I'd like to get ahead in releases by a month to begin with. What this would mean is that in the following months I would stick to schedule and in the meantime produce an EXTRA pack that will be kept in my back pocket for dreary times such as the last two months have been.
Doing this I will always have a month of 'buffer-zone' where I can shift my scheduling and be much more flexible.
CriticalOneShots Collab.:
We are doing a shift in our collaboration efforts with CriticalOneShots (aka. TheWriterWins on discord.)
He is sadly shuttering his Patreon page from this point forward, BUT he won't stop making content, or collaborating with me, quite the contrary actually.
We will keep our currently existing monthly city pdf resources going, but everything will be on my patreon only. Don't worry tho there are big projects in the making that I can't talk about yet:))
In case you haven't heard about Writer yet, he is an exceptional creator that I am very happy I got the privilege to work and collaborate with. I asked him to say a few words as a form of an introduction:
"I'm a long time GM who works in Film and TV and Education. Over the past year I wrote more than 200 pages worth of content for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, mostly short form content: one-shots. I aspire to create more varied and accessible content for new and veteran GMs and players, hoping to broaden the horizons of all those playing this wonderful game."
Upcoming Website:
One thing I can tell you is that I am making a website! It will include articles, resources, a webshop, all the item packs will be neatly organized for all of you to download. Above all, you might see a dedicated section with writings and resources all from CriticalOneShots!
We are not stopping there tho! I found someone who is helping me create a software for city map building specifically! Meaning you will no longer need DungeonDraft to make your maps, there will be a dedicated software just for that, streamlined around the tile and asset systems, and overall settlement maps. (labeling etc)
This, as you can imagine is taking quite a bit of time, I will keep you posted on all future updates on these new goodies :))
New streaming and video Scheduling:
I will be focusing more on my youtube and twitch channel in the future. As a start (and since I am still paddling through backlog) I would like to start with 1 stream and 1 video every week. These can be drawing streams, AMAs, showcase videos, tutorials, etc.
If you didn't know I had a youtube channel, you can find it here:

New Art content (Battlemaps, Sceneries etc.):
Partly because I wan't to grow this youtube channel and my instagram page too (and my current content is not that artistic in itself), and also because my actual background is in art and graphic design, I really want to expand on and hone my skills with scenery art, battlemaps etc. At this point the tiles and asset packs are easy for me to produce, I have gotten quite adept at them after 300+ tiles (and counting). I would love to spend my freed up time with pursuing art.
I will just add these here and there for now, and once my scheduling is back to normal, I would like to bake them into reward tiers and the current releases.
All of this new art will be tied into the releases in some way, I am open to suggestions on how you all would like to see this done in the future!
(This will all happen officially upon reaching 1000$ goal on Patreon)
New Pack:
The new pack in the works is the AncientGreek pack. This should be done before the 10th of July. I will put out a new poll for the next pack before then. Keep on the lookout!
Until then, here is a sneak-peek for the upcoming assets pack (will be finished in a day or two)
PS.: I am so incredibly grateful for this community that even with the reduced number of releases, you not only didn't leave, but the amount of supporters grew, which I would never have dared to imagine.
I am doing my very best to return this favor and support to all of you. I am very thankful and humbled. Thank you everyone <3
And as always,
Happy Building <3
