Free Membership Alpha Test (Patreon)

Hello, folks! Hannah here, with news about a new Patreon thingamajig.

Starting today, Patreon is testing out a "join for free" option and MCDM is participating in the alpha test. This is similar to the existing "follow" feature, but will offer more options for us to offer content to folks on a free tier and involve them in our Patreon community. If you are already following us, you don't need to make any changes and you will automatically see the new tier.

Since this is an alpha test, listing out specific benefits of the free tier is probably premature, but we do know that we want to offer more free content—and having a subscriber area to do that seems like a better option than public posts that offer MCDM minimal feedback.

We'll know more in June as the alpha test progresses. If you just joined and want to see some of our past free content: you can check out some of the existing posts, like the behind-the-scenes process on SHARKCADIA art and the October ARCADIA cover, the free, much-beloved adventure "The Workshop Watches" from ARCADIA 1, and the MCDM Tabletop Safety Toolkit.

In the near future, we'll share some of the Letters from the Editor that James and I are most proud of, and continue doing behind-the-scenes posts on art process. If you have any requests for content you'd like to see shared on the free tier (keeping in mind that the team is busy getting Flee, Mortals! finished and, y'know, making a new RPG), let us know in the comments!

If you have questions, there's also a FAQ on the Free Membership feature here.
