Important Announcement – Transition from PWG to MMF Tribes
Hey everyone ,
As some of you may have heard, PWG is shutting down its marketplace. While the library you've come to rely on will remain accessible for now, this change has led us to make an important decision.
We’re officially moving to MyMiniFactory Tribes.
With PWG winding down, moving to MMF means one less platform to manage, and we also won’t have to cover extra storage fees tied to PWG anymore. We were originally considering making this move a bit later, as some of you might know, Apple had previously forced Patreon to use iOS’s in-app billing system exclusively, which introduced a 30% fee on new iOS app transactions—either passed onto patrons or deducted from creators. While a court ruling in April reversed this, it highlighted the instability that can come with third-party platform policies.
In contrast, MMF has consistently been transparent with us, and we’re genuinely excited about the new features they’re working on to improve the platform. We’ve also had a good relationship with their team and feel confident moving forward with them as our main platform.
Smooth Transition Plan for All Current Patrons:
We understand this shift might be inconvenient for some of you, so we're working to make the process as seamless as possible.
:white_check_mark: Starting next week, we’ll begin assigning all past files (from the very first month we launched on Patreon up to now) to your MMF libraries, as long as you were subscribed during those periods.
To make this possible:
Please ensure you have an MMF account.
Make sure it’s registered with the same email you use on Patreon.
Then, on Patreon:
Log in and go to www.patreon.com
Click your profile icon (top right) → “Manage Memberships”
Find StationForge and click Edit
Scroll down and check “Share your email address with this creator”
Click Save
Important Note: We’re not shutting down Patreon just yet. It will remain open for the time being, likely until PWG fully closes their library. We will still continue uploading new releases to both Patreon and PWG for now, but please understand this is only temporary, as PWG may eventually shut down its entire library.
That said, we kindly ask all supporters to move their subscriptions to MMF starting in July.
Regarding different priced tiers such as First Founding, Old Standard, and the Merchant Tier, we’ll be making a separate announcement about how these will be handled soon.
Thanks again for all your support and patience during the transition!

Since your also switching memberships over.. Are the merchant licensers going to have now start having a substantial increase in membership cost because they have to switch to tribes?
MMF has patreon integration anyway doesn't it?
Hmm.. the instructions provided to share my email with Stationforge is not performed in the manner you instructed. Tricky! I tried it on Patreon app and on desktop and neither have work using this process.
I have tried both on the app and the webpage and can find none of these options.
I have no problem going over to MMF Tribes, but I DO have one favor to ask! Is there a way to view updates like on Patreon for releases? I live scrolling on the app. I wish I could see the fantasy models here too (I don’t check MMF near as often).
I don't have a profile in the top right. I click on my profile pic and it just says "create on patreon"
So by sharing our email here with you for MMF, do I just cancel my July sub here and pay for the new one on MMF?
Think I'm being daft but I can't see how to do this step: Click your profile icon (top right) → “Manage Memberships” I don't seem to have anything in the top right
I'm having the same issue. Maybe it's a desktop vs mobile thing? I've gone through every setting and don't see anywhere that I can do the "share email with creator" thing.
How do I do this on the app?
