What brought you to my Patreon?
There's been an influx of new people joining the Order (thank you, everyone!) these last couple of weeks, and I realized that the last time I asked Patreon members why they joined was literally years ago. I'm not talking about why you joined, since I know a lot of you are here to support my work in general (for which I'm immensely grateful). Having the Patreon as a solid financial support is immensely helpful and honestly a big psychological relief, because it allows me to have a larger wiggle room when it comes to monthly sales.
I want to know which game brought you here, and which game you are hoping to see content for. I imagine it's going to be a more or less even split among Across a Thousand Dead Worlds and Ker Nethalas, since these two are my most successful games, but I want to see more concrete numbers. As you know, my focus right now is the ATDW expansion, but I'm always working on other stuff in the background, currently the second edition of Sacrifice, and new Ker Nethalas content, as always.
So please, vote and comment!

Riftbreakers. My group are loving it as our pick up game.
That's awesome! Don't forget to check out the additional rules I have for the game here on Patreon!
Under Ashen Skies. Mentioned by Man Alone and Dungeon Dive.
Interesting!
Under Ashen Skies was my "gateway" game of yours. I heard it recommended on reddit and youtube and I discovered the rest on your site, the discord and DTRPG.
Nice, thank you for finding your way here!
Started with a curious purchase of Ker Nethalas from Amazon. That quickly lead me to ATDW and now onto Salvage & Sorcery. You have me eagerly anticipating the arena combat idea of your next game. I've never joined a Patreon before, but keep up the good work and happy to help support it. Both my wife and I enjoy your games very much. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support!
I kinda went on a spree and bought most of your games, but I've gotta say Riftbreakers and Sacrifice really spark my imagination.
Thank you! And I'm glad you like those games, because next year they'll see new releases!
im a new fan of your work, but its Seekers Beyond the Shroud that made me join your patreon. cheers!
I hope you're not too disappointed, but I don't own the rights for that game since 2021, and can't work on it, so you'll see no content for it here. Exalted Funeral own the game.
It was actually 'Seekers Beyond the Shroud', but I guess I simply stayed around even after that game was no longer on the menu.
I appreciate it! You're definitely part of the old guard, haha.
Ruthless Heavens is the one the made me think of you as "Alex T" as opposed to "the guy who made Ker Nethalas" (which I bought first). ATDW is what made me join the Patreon (after thinking, "Alex T is more prolific than most other designers right now. I want to support that"). Make of that what you will.
Thank you! I'm glad to know some of you are interested in a few of my games, since I love them all and that gives me an excuse to work on different things, haha.
ATDW was the first Blackoath game I purchased and then seeing your interview on The Dungeon Dive and ordering Seekers Beyond The Shroud were the things that convinced me that Blackoath Entertainment was something very special and unique. As a fellow “forever GM”, you have enhanced my experience with gaming more than any other brand I’ve encountered! Sincerely, Thank you for the work that you do Alex! Long live the Order of the Blackoath!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support!
Disciples. The intro write up just got me.
Sucks that I can no longer work on that game!
Um, your prolific nature and interaction with the community is actually the reason. The games are great, but the guy behind the games is who I support. :-)
Damn, thank you for your kind words!
Know u for your first games Disciples and awesome ocult magic setting Seekers Beyond the Shroud.
The old guard!
I was backing your kickstarters for a while. I think it was Under Ashen Skies that made me come to Patreon though. I mean, KN is great, but UAS really spoke to me.
Thank you! I hope you find another of my games equally inspiring.
ATDW? I honestly can't remember, it's been awhile.
It has been, indeed!
Empire Undying! Hahahaha! I joined the Discord server when the ATDW KS campaign was live, and stay there. But I got intrigued by this unreleased game and started looking for it in the free Patreon posts. After a while I decided to join, and the first thing I looked for was EU pdf. I also love the weekly post related to the work done in WIP games.
Haha yes, someday I'll finish that game, my Holy Grail. I'm not sure why the hell I don't do it, I actually think about it weekly, and check my notes and stuff... It's such a detailed and cool setting.
Riftbreakers! But I’m definitely interested in KN and ATDW generally, as well as RHBF.
Nice! Then you'll have stuff to look forward to next year!
Broken Shores (Godshard!) and Sacrifice.
Nice! I'm DYING to work on Sacrifice 2e and more Broken Shores content, haha.
Carnage & Aether
Nice! I'm so excited to release it, can't wait to have the last missing illustrations ready so I can do so! It's a beast of a game!
Ker Nethalas was the start of this thread i started unravelling, but am finding myself fascinated by the settings of all your games, to include all the ones mentioned in the comments. Though it may take some time to gather them all (or rather the gatherable ones, silly EF seemingly dropping the ball... lol).
Thank you, that's really good to hear!
Riftbreakers was such a cool setting. I’ve enjoyed homebrewing it as well.
I still have the revamped Guild Edition in the works for next year, and more plans for it, so it's not dead!
"Broken Shores". I would like to see more support (more tables with additional encounters, events, places and special islands to discover in the sea - perhaps regional) and rules for resources, crafting, interactions, companions or settlements in both the sea and islands, for instance) and maybe a revision of the core rules at some point the way "Riftbreakers" and "Sacrifice" will have them.
Yes, I really love everything about Broken Shores, the only reason why I'm not working more on it is simply a lack of time, and that the vast majority of people want to see more Ker Nethalas content. Still, I have one expansion from Penny Melgarejo that I need to translate so I can release it, and I do have some plans for more cool stuff in the future. The game will still be supported because I think it deserves it. I just need to be able to sit and work on it...
I joined around the time when ATDW was on Kickstarter. I wanted a solo RPG with tactical combat, so I backed your game. Then I found out you were working on similiar game in a fantasy setting (Empire Undying), and I wanted to know more about it. So I think EU was the actual reason I joined your Patreon... I have to admit, I only were on the 1$ level, as I had no intention on getting other stuff that has no tactical combat. Just a few weeks ago I finally upgraded to Evocatus tier, because Carnage & Aether seems to be right up my alley. Unfortunately I was too late for the pre-release, so I have to wait till the final release. Stupid me. XD Still, the tier upgrade is well worth it, because your content is high quality. Even if I won't play many of your other games, they look so pretty. :-)
Thank you! I do need to get back to Empire Undying... But at least you'll get the ATDW expansion, which also has tactical combat and should be done before the year's over (at least content-wise, we all know art takes longer).
To learn from the master. I aspire to write my own games and create my own artwork so it seemed like a perfect place to learn from a highly successful creator.
Haha thank you! I'm all over the place, though, so I'm not sure how much you'll be able to learn from me... it's definitely an ongoing process for me!
Deciples of Bone and Shadow
Haha well, as you know there's no way I'm making any more content for that game...
Empire Undying ;)
Haha somehow I knew it!
