[Update] 2023 and Major Changes
🕑 Added 2023-04-10 14:00:05 +0000 UTCThis update is MAJOR so I encourage you read through it. I promise to keep it short. Here's the summary; details and explanations are found further below.
---
SUMMARY
- A potential opportunity came up for me that demands more of my time.
- Because of that, I need to take May off. Billing for May will be paused (set to begin Apr 28).
- After May, content production for the Patreon will be reduced. It is currently unclear by how much.
- If you delete your pledge, make sure to download your accessible content first!
- More details to follow in mid-May.

CONTEXT
I first started this Patreon endeavor a little over 2 years ago. At the time I promised content that seemed reasonable, but as time progressed, the art, design, and production work became more elaborate and took up a lot of my day.
Recently I was offered an opportunity that seems really nice. If it works out, it would take away from my Patreon work time. This means changing the Patreon content structure moving forward to something manageable, but I don't know what that would look like just yet. I still plan to produce compendiums, but each compendium will take anywhere between 2-4 months instead of 1. After June, I'll keep the tiers active for new pledges who want access to certain content or licenses, or those who want to donate monetary support, but without the expectation of monthly themed compendiums. As always, the compendiums are still sold as a package on DTRPG; I may also take this time to add content to other sites or VTTs.
Charging the same amount for significantly reduced content is understandably dissatisfactory. That's why I'm pre-emptively pausing billing for May, to allow current patrons to download any content you have access to while I figure things out. Please please only support me if you're financially stable or when the pricing is affordable. I'll come back with a second update in mid-May to clarify the future.
Feel free to ask questions if you have any!

It's a bittersweet to change so drastically, especially after gaining so many new patrons from the recent compendiums, but I hope you understand! Thank you patrons and non-patrons alike for your support. You have collectively produced some incredible content for everyone.

It’s been amazing to watch the growth of this account over the last two years! I’m excited for whatever new opportunity you’re exploring!

Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into this opportunity! Hopefully it works out! And honestly, I don't think most will mind the reduced content if the pricing is adjusted to reflect that.
