Changes to Patreon Tiers
Hello, everyone! For a while now I've been wanting to revamp my Patreon tiers, because I feel that I'm being a little bit generous, if I'm being honest. A lot of people have been taking advantage of how it's all set up, and they would join at the Evocatus tier ($5), grab everything, and disappear. This has happened so many times that I'm starting to feel stupid. There's also the fact that when I started the Patreon, sending physical rewards to the Master tier ($10) costed me 13€. Now, it's 33€. Yes, a couple of dice and some stickers is 33 Euros. I'm talking of shipping to the US, of course, but since 99,99% of you are from there so yeah, it's irrelevant if some patrons aren't. Last but not least, I've had a few requests from some of you asking for higher tiers, since apparently you feel that I produce enough content and of a quality to justify doing so (which is incredible to hear!). After talking with the always wise Alan Bahr about all this, his input has been really helpful, so this is how the new tiers will be:
- Apprentice: 1€. Access to Discord and all posts, voting rights. Nothing changes.
- Evocatus: 5€. Same as Apprentice, and you get access to any new content I produce from the moment you join. Digital only.
- Master: 10€. Same as Evocatus, but you also get at-cost PoD codes.
- Grand Master: 15€. Same as Master, but you also get PoD and PDFs of all my already released core products (so no expansions).
I'd also like to add a monthly game with me as GM of Across a Thousand Dead Worlds, and I'll do so as soon as I have the core book in my hands because even if it's online I need a physical book to run a game.
So as you see, nothing really changes for you guys. These changes will only affect newcomers, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of them, just in case. As a consequence of me only distributing my material via DTRPG from now on, I do need to delete all the content I've uploaded here on Patreon so far, or at the very least, the fully released games, so make sure you have downloaded it all! I'll give you guys until tomorrow to download anything you might want from here. In any case, you can always write me and ask me, nothing is lost.
So that's it for now, and once again, thank you guys for sticking with me!

Q2: would the game vary moon by moon? I'm into ATDW, but would also be keen on a Broken Shores, etc.
I mentioned ATDW first cause it's the perfect game for some "West Marches" style of campaign, with players coming and going and forming different teams, each session being an expedition. I would have to think how to do that with Broken Shores and my other games, we'll see!
Q1: would GM'd session be recorded to be shared with other pledgers at that level (with participants consent)?
I don't think so, at least not initially. I've never used that sort of software and I don't know if I'd have the time to learn how. But we'll see! If I ever do so it would, of course, be with everyone's consent.
Understandable. As a relative newcomer, being honest, I will now try to up my pledge level to get the best of the existing tiers BUT I promise it's because I was biding my time for those and I am genuinely interested in a GM'd-by-the-creator session every moon or so.
I really appreciate your support!
