(Update) What's Coming in 2022? Role changes and more!
Hey all. As 2021 comes to a close, I’m here to talk about upcoming plans, Patreon role changes, new offerings and more! Some of the announcements (which don’t affect $) will be revealed at the State of the Brew 2022 live stream.
State of the Brew 2022 is Thursday, January 6th at 8:00 PM EST on the Gamingbrew Twitch channel. Hope to see you there!
Patreon Role Changes
One of the most common messages I receive is asking for easier ways to download the enormous amount of content I’ve created over the years. A few changes to the Patreon tiers reflect this request, alongside streamlining releases and taking into account the increased cost of art. You’ll also see the removal of Living Erenel in favor of a more personalized gaming experiences and an emphasis on community.
I also want to ensure no one is charged for January before seeing the upcoming changes, even though I believe they are all awesome. Some changes are in place with the rest beginning the first week of 2022!
Copper Tier
Poll Voting, supporter shout out and the unique Discord role all remain. The Discord role’s name is changing to “Dice Master.”
New Addition: Join the Adventurer’s Hall. All Patreons who have linked their account to Discord can join the Adventurer Role once it’s made available in January. This role is opt-in and requires an active patron account and/or Twitch subscription.
This Discord role allows for the opportunity to play in one-shots, community events, or community run campaigns and gives access to role play channels monitored by our moderators. While not guaranteed every month, you’ll be able to play in games both I and other prominent community members host. The best part is knowing the players and DMs involved are highly motivated and outstanding community members.
The Adventurer's Hall will be discussed in detail at the Stat of the Brew live stream, alongside an upcoming blog post.
Silver Tier
Weekly content, vault access and World Anvil access remain.
New Addition: Content Tomes. I’ll be bundling all 5E Silver Brewer content made before 2022 into print-friendly “tomes.” These tomes will be art-free and hopefully not too large in download size, lol! Bundling everything to free up space and removing the daunting task of downloading content for new patrons will hopefully ease the burden and my inbox.
Tomes are planned to release during the first week of January 2022.
Adventurer (Living Erenel) Tier
With Living Erenel closing its doors and the addition of the newly formed Adventurer’s Hall (see above), this tier will be removed on December 31st. If you’re in the Adventurer tier when it’s deleted, you’ll still be a Gamingbrew Patreon, but you’ll be a no-benefit patron and won’t have access to 5E content until you change tiers. If you’d like to keep supporting what we do here on Patreon, be sure to change tiers. If you’re a Patreon only for Living Erenel access, make sure to cancel by December 31st.
I sent a private message to everyone in this tier early in the month with details on how to switch. Check here if you missed it.
Gold Tier
Gamingbrew Monthly. All content bundled for the month into a one-click stylized PDF continues. Now, Gold Tier can download the three most recent releases. Older versions are being bundled and/or revamped.
New Addition: FoundryVTT. Gamingbrew content is being converted into modules for our favorite VTT! While the first module will not be ready until the middle of Q1, all modules we release will be available for the Gold tier and above. Modules range from player options to adventures!
Platinum Tier
New additions. Dice Legend discord role and the Legends Lounge. As a member of this tier, you’ll have a more prominent role in our Discord and admission into a private Discord channel reserved for Dice Legends only. Here, you can chat about content ideas with myself and other legends!
Onward to 2022!
A humbling thank you to everyone who embraces and supports me on this crazy journey. I never imagined Gamingbrew would grow to what it is now, and I’m beyond excited for what it will become.
You’re all amazing and I can't wait to show you more of what's in development.
