Facebook Group + Welcome Pack + Tribes
🕑 Added 2021-10-12 11:31:55 +0000 UTCHello everyone, we have a lot of news and we would like to know your opinion.
Facebook Group
The first one is that the Facebook group, thanks to the help of Donna Crawford, is back to being a place to share our printed minis without the spam that dominated the group, thanks Donna!
I leave here the link so you can join:

Welcome Pack
Next month we will be one year in Patreon and we are preparing many cool things, one of them is to expand the Welcome Pack with at least one more Set, but we would like you to choose it.
In the poll you can see the sets that can be added to the welcome pack and the winner will be included in the welcome pack for everyone.
If you want to take a look at the Sets that have been made you can do it here :

Tribes
This month we have been included in the beta of Tribes in MMF, we know that many of you like to have all the models in the MMF account and is the main reason why we have entered in Tribes.
Some of you have asked us if we are going to close Patreon to go to Tribes, but Patreon will remain our home.

Thank you all for participating in the poll and for being so supportive of our work! Thank you!

Oh poop, I always end up doing stuff like this. I got an email from yourselves telling me about your patreon and 50% off on your store. So I joined your patreon and bought all your sets that I don’t have (so everything except the October stuff and the stuff in the welcome pack) and now I’ve just read this. Should I have joined tribes instead and bought everything over there, as would much rather have my stuff on MMF myself, rather than having to keep it on my computer? Also does that mean I’ve just bought a set that’s about to become part of the welcome pack. Bugger! Oh well, it is what it is.

I have to agree on the website over at MMF. I'm honestly confused as to why so many are moving there. The website is horrendous and the constant pop-up ads drive me crazy.

The Tribes conditions are identical to Patreon in terms of commissions.

Would you consider making the Facebook a private group for the Patreon? It would keep it better focused on the group. I don't know if anyone else is like this, but I prefer to share my hobbies with liked minded people rather than the whole world to see.

really, seemed clear to me, but yes you can have files from one company in three places. i missed where patreon offers that archive at all. an not all archive to MMF. there is mini hoarder, and some down under mega site, and a few others, not to mention company specific websites, some of who do MMF sales, and some who do not, though more are going to MMF delivery, or month later delivery. so only having files on one website under three tabs, better than the 8 sites or so i download from now.

I get the appeal of tribes, but everything backs up to mmf anyway, and they have the literal worst website in the history of the world. How it organizes things I’ve purchased vs patreons I support vs kickstart fulfillments is so disorganized and nonsensical. No thanks. As far as the poll goes, the literal only set I don’t have from that list is carnival, so I totally voted for that. Glad to see others have too!

I would like to move to tribes but I don't want to lose the early pricing (and add a conversion fee). I want to support the tribe from month one, but it doesn't seem to be possible, without paying twice, and losing the early bird.

Werewolves set :)

In regards to the poll, I didn't pick anything because I think I already have every set. Maybe you could include some props from the Kickstarters?
Victor Jalencas
Which one is more convenient for you? I know Patreon keeps a 30%, but I don't know how much MMF keeps, and whether it is on top of the normal fee for hosting files (assuming you can disclose it).
Adam
okay thanks for the info guys! Than I will stick to Patreon :P
Rafael Moreno Dominguez
Hi, there won't be a new tier on Patreon for that, right now the Tribes support is still in Beta and there are many things missing (like the poll we are doing here), but we believe they will end up implementing everything. We will try to post the same on both platforms when possible.
Adam
Will there also be a new tier on patreon so we can follow the updates or do we have to choose between Patreon and MMF?
