January On Club PA (Patreon)

Happy New Year, denizens of Club PA

Hopefully you enjoyed your festive holiday period and were permitted by the vagaries of fate to be both festive and on holiday to some degree.  We're all showing up back at the office again, ready to battle foes old & new and create Engaging Content. 

Gavin lost 3lbs over Christmas. We're all pretty mad at him.

In terms of delectable Club PA morsels, here's what we have coming up.

New people!

Over Christmas we received some feedback that members of the PA forums wanted a specific way to show support for their community, so we made a $1 Pay What You Like tier just for them. Right now there's no rewards attached to that tier, but we're doing some rebalancing in general (more info below) so that may change in the near future.

Please note, if you are at that tier: Patreon rewards are based on the tier you select rather than the total dollar amount. Some of you are putting in higher amounts, which would qualify for the awards at higher tiers. If you'd like to gain access to that stuff (exclusive streams, podcasts, merch etc) you should go ahead and switch to that tier. 

Thanks for supporting us, at any level. We hugely appreciate it.

The Club PA 2019 Pin, and other merch!

It's new pin time! Those of you with six months of membership under your belt will be receiving our new offering shortly. It's a pretty good one, we think you'll like it! As always, we'll send the 2019 pin out twice this year, so you have one to keep and one to trade.

If you hit a multiple of 3 in your membership this month, you'll also be receiving a merch package. Make sure your address is up to date!

This Month's Content

Vampire: Episode 3: We Still Haven't Named This

The fourth permanent member of the coterie has been revealed as Elizabeth Wonder, played by Dice, Camera, Action's Holly Conrad. A millionaire socialite who has been asleep since the 20s, she is very, very clearly not on the level. What horrors does Eric "Edge Benson" Benson have in store for our trusty monsters? $10 patrons can tune in on the 11th of January at 10am to watch live. We'll also be uploading the podcast and VOD later on, as always. The podcast and VOD for episode 2 will also be up soon, apologies for the holiday based delay.

Let us know what you think about this show! If y'all like it enough, we might be able to squeeze out another one every month.

More Podcasts! More!

The DLC podcast will be triumphantly returning this month, this time as a Club PA exclusive. It'll be showing up in the feed of everyone at the Fleshreaper  level or above.

We'll also be recording some new episodes of This Old Lair, possibly with some SURPRISE GUESTS to talk about their own perspectives on the world of Tabletop.

Upcoming Changes

We have a decent amount of the new Club PA under our belts now, and are going to use the new year to do make some changes and rebalance the tiers a little bit to make sure that everyone is getting good value for their patronage. No plans for subtraction at the moment, but addition is certainly on the table. 

Check out the Club PA Discord, where TubePA occasionally surfaces to ask probing questions about how people are using Club PA. These questions are technically Research, and you can give us your Thoughts and we will use them to create Action Plans. 

One thing that's definitely changing is that we'll be adding a way to opt out of physical rewards. A lot of people have been asking about this due to import taxes etc. We're going to make that happen. Stay tuned.

How To Do Club PA Stuff

This goes at the end of every newsletter:

Where can I find my merch codes?

On Penny-Arcade.com click "Sign In With Patreon" to link you Club PA account. After that, just click on your username to access a pop out with all of your merch codes. This is also where any special offers etc will go. Your merch codes can be applied to any Penny Arcade products on the store, but won't apply to partner merchandise (e.g Kris Straub's stuff) or charity products (e.g Child's Play or the Pride pin set)

Something went wrong with my merch package or other Club PA shenanigans, who do I call?

Shoot an email to pgroome@penny-arcade.com. If Patrick can't figure it out, he'll know who can. 

I have comments about how things are going, or want to give my opinion on Club PA!

That's pgroome@penny-arcade.com as well. We're genuinely interested in all your feedback, so don't be shy.
