Patreon Update by the end of March (Patreon)

I've been on Patreon for a while now and I'm still fine tuning the way I want to distribute and manage content. I started off with a pretty rocky start (managing my content in separate maps per month and having new patrons be able to access older content on a monthly return rate) and took a complete u-turn by instating the back catalogue system (having new patrons be able to access all content instantly, with no differentiation between tiers (except for the one dollar tiers)). Something that really turned things around, not just in an immense increase in backing but also in the amount of administrative work I didn't have to put in anymore.

In this newest update, which might be the end station of my way of taking care of things, I want to cut down on micromanaging some more, by taking down the separate $1 TiERS, because I want to focus on creating a more diverse base of work (with a main focus on maps as usual, but having the breathing room to do larger series that aren't bound to the confines of 8 tokens and one custom creature, but could expand more into 16 tokens this month and nothing else or both or maybe tokens and custom items, or a whole series of custom creatures etc... That and having people who do support on a higher tier actually get access to unique bonus content on a monthly basis (which most likely will consist out of more unique maps, introducing something I will most likely call: Back Catalogue Supreme.

Now for 85% of current patrons that means that not much will change. Only in the sense that higher tiers will be getting more unique content and I will define the tiers a bit more clearly. For the other 15% I understand that I might lose your support, but in the long run it will be a much healthier and transparent way for me to run things. I think it will give me more room to improve the quality of my content and have the liberty to double down on something that I think is worth exploring (and patrons agree on that is worth exploring). Like just doing nothing but maps for a month if the theme is really interesting. 

DUNGEON MASTER - Will become my base tier, basically staying pretty much how it was. You can expect a monthly map, plus tokens or custom homebrew work like creatures, items. A goody bag of monthly digital content.  

DUNGEON LORD - Is the tier votes on what gets made, but will also get to vote for their tier (and the masters) what unique map their goody bag will contain that month.

DUNGEON KING -  Won't just support bonus content, but will have access to the new Back Catalogue Supreme, which will contain monthly bonus maps (or whatever digital content they would like me to work on. With this month's fragmented dungeon I'm going to attempt weekly map drops to kick things off. 

DUNGEON GOD - Get access to the Supreme Catalogue as well. Discounts on bigger projects as I've already mentioned in Future Endeavors (like the upcoming Creatures Companion Deck and the Dungeon Builder that I'm still working on). 

I will however still be updating the links to all content one last time this month, including for all the $1 TIERS. So you can expect the post for that content dump coming up very soon!
