NEW: Vice-Commander Tier and Merchandise! (Patreon)

Hello, everyone! I'm very excited to announce some wonderful news for you! Our next goal here on Patreon is to unlock Shepherds of Haven merchandise for everyone. We're on track to meet that goal, but seeing as how we're coming up on a year since this Patreon went public, I took the liberty of making some early as thanks to all of you! Thank you very much for making this possible! ❤

News 1: I've partnered with Patreon to automatically give Patrons of a certain tier their merchandise as a reward! If you are part of the Captain tier or higher, you will automatically receive a 3x3" Shepherds of Haven sticker in the mail (if you've included your shipping address or want to) after 3 successful pledges. Unfortunately, Patreon doesn't count the pledges retroactively, and I can't change the minimum threshold of 3 pledges, so that will start counting from now!

News 2: I've opened a new tier for Patrons, with all-new rewards and benefits. The Vice-Commander tier and higher also includes a piece of merchandise after 3 pledges: currently a Shepherds of Haven mug, once again fulfilled automatically by Patreon! 

Among others, rewards for this tier also include entry into a monthly drawing, where the winner gets to write or choose a small story to be included in the Haven Herald, the game's newspaper, or in the game's new scrying function. They also get to vote and decide on the next merchandise made, and (eventually) they will receive a unique bookmark or tarot card every month in the mail, each piece designed by me and the artist Tiffany Yuet (or feather-x-crown)!

The bookmarks are double-sided, glossy, and featuring two different sides: one with a Shepherds of Haven character and the other with a uniquely-designed back. The same goes for the tarot cards, with each featuring a unique painted tarot illustration of a single character, though they all have the same backing as each other to be a part of a larger deck! 

The theme and character of these mailed gifts will change every month, so (as an example) December will be the month of Shery, March will be the month of Riel, October the month of Croelle, and so on and so forth. 

Note: For the bookmarks and tarot cards, my state is unfortunately in the worst throes of COVID, and since I will be mailing these rewards myself, I will have to wait until things calm down to implement this feature. I will make an announcement when that particular reward is ready, but all the necessary materials are printed and made! Designs not final in above promotional image.

Finally, the exclusive merchandise for the Vice-Commander tier will change and rotate every three months, so what you receive now will be different six months from now!

News 3: Don't want to wait for your Patreon merch, or not a part of one of the above tiers? Not to worry: you can now browse and buy Shepherds of Haven merch on Redbubble! See the above images for examples: there are six different designs to choose from and over 50 different products!

See a product you'd want but isn't currently offered? Let me know or join the Vice-Commander tier to decide the next merchandise! 

The Redbubble store is exclusive to Patrons for now, but I'll be sharing it with the public in a few weeks. For your benefit, the rates and prices now will be lower for Patrons than for the public, so if you're interested, jump on those good discounts and prices now!

Thanks for reading, and I very much hope you enjoy! ❤
