March Updates
🕑 Added 2023-03-01 07:04:37 +0000 UTCHey there,
First and foremost, I want to thank you all for being here and to welcome the new influx of patrons who have signed up in recent months. I am humbled by your support, and cannot express enough appreciation that you all enable me to do what I'm passionate about full-time.
This last month has been kind of a challenge. I know I've tried to provide 4 posts per month, but I started this month recovering from a skiing injury, which segued into a nasty sinus infection, and after a brief period of feverish work post-recovery, I've managed to finish February sick again. My productivity suffered this month, and I could have really used the two to three extra days we'd have on any other month.
I could have pushed a little harder, cut some corners, and released another 1-2 posts before the next round of payments begin processing today, but I don't want to sacrifice the quality of any of the maps I'm working on, even if it means a big cut to this month's paycheck. Thanks for your understanding.
Currently I'm working on a massive (100x50) 8 level manta ray ship, housing a small town and citadel, in addition to putting the final touches of this month's Megadungeon from the #dungeon23 challenge (level 2). I've also got a collaboration with my friend Dragonshorn Studios which I'll be releasing tomorrow, including a festive circus tent map and an adventure featuring mischievous quasits.
Additionally, I've had my attention somewhat divided. I'm excited to announce that I've started work on my first book- an astral-themed Mork Borg adventure supplement I'm illustrating with an excellent writer and close friend. Below is a work in progress image of a seraphim (please do not distribute). I'll have more updates about this throughout the year as we get closer to our Kickstarter launch.
Finally, I want to solicit some feedback from you all on my Patreon format. I've been doing this for two and a half years now and have had to make a few adjustments. I'm trying to plan out the rest of the year and into 2024, and I want to have an idea of what I should prioritize. I wish Patreon polls had a ranked choice voting option here, but since they don't I'd like you to please select from the following priorities you'd like me to focus on so I can take the results into consideration moving forward:

Hey Michael, I hear you loud and clear. I'll make sure at least a couple releases each month are more versatile. I intend to keep making these ships for a while since I'm really enjoying them and they seem to be popular, but I want to make sure I'm providing a variety for folks as well. I'm not super familiar with Traveller but I might dip my toes in more sci-fi later this year, in addition to the regular fantasy content. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I'm really glad to hear that you and your table are enjoying my maps. Thanks so much for your kind words!

I don't have a use for more ships. Some Traveller usable sci-fi maps sound great, followed by Versatile Sci-fi and Fantasy Content. Sci-fi Traveller character tokens top down sound great too.

I seriously can't thank you enough, your ship maps have really livened up our Spelljammer campaign.
