What can we do better? (Patreon)

Hello, dear patrons! In April, it will be an equal year since we decided to create an account on Patreon and start creating maps and RPG-related additions. Now we're doing a little summary and we want to ask you for help.

During the 11 months we've been experiencing an emotional rollercoaster - from a few patrons and support dollars to a total of 173 supporters. This is a huge success for which we thank you very much! We love you!

We would like you to feel special here because only thanks to you can create and pay our bills every month. It will probably not come as a surprise if we write that despite the creation of 42 maps and a dozen or so additions, this type of activity is still not profitable. 

We draw our maps by hand, so it is a process that requires time but also human resources. We do not render, we do not use photos on which we apply filters in Photoshop. Everything starts with a piece of paper and a marker. 

The price standard for Patreon is a price range of $1$-2$-5$ - this means that the creator cannot completely devote only work here. Unfortunately, we also know that for a large group of our patrons even 1$ a month of support is a huge financial effort. What is the vicious circle from which many creators try to get out by either increasing prices or give up and close their account

This is a source of enormous emotional tension for us - on the one hand, we want to create better and better materials for you, but on the other hand, we see how difficult it is for more patrons to join. 

No wonder - there is a lot of free materials on the Internet and paying for something that you can click and download for free is very big. We see this often in comments on Reddit and other social networking platforms.

We don't want to increase prices, but we are also not able to create more maps during the month. The only way out is to specialize. And here we have a request for help. To you, our patrons.

Is there anything you would like to see here that you haven't seen elsewhere? Maybe a set of maps or extras? Maybe we should add a mini adventure description to each map? Or maybe you don't need paper maps but you prefer us to focus on virtual tabletop?

We're listening - you decide!
