Important clarification regarding the switch to Beneos 2.0!
There appear to be some users spreading misinformation: Switching to Beneos 2.0 does not mean, that the content will only be available via Moulinette! Through the Foundry Tier you can download all Maps, Sceneries, Handouts etc. separately via a webspace. Nothing changes there! This is only about providing the finished scenes in Foundry as easy and comfortable as possible to reduce the set-up time for DMs massively. And your overwhelming feedback shows that our assumptions were right, so thank you for that!
TL;DR: Even if you don't support us any further, you can back up all our previously released stuff and download it via Google Drive or any other host, as usual, no biggie.
The migration from the old Tier 4 to the New Foundry Tier also is on going! The green line shows the old Tier 4 Patrons and die purple line represents the new Foundry Tier.
STATUS UPDATE BENEOS 2.0
Things are going great! Over 95% of users are not reporting any problems whatsoever. There are some edge cases, but those are dissected via Discord and shortly after resolved with a fresh update. Dear Tier 4 subscribers, please remember to make the switch to Foundry Tier on time, as Tier 4 will no longer be supported.
Check out this article for aaaaall the details.
WHAT COMES NEXT?
Thank you for the super positive feedback regarding the latest release, the modular tavern inspired by the "Blood of the Vine". A few legacy supporters asked me to also release the surrounding streets and shops! I love to hear from those of you who've accompanied me on this journey since the dawn of, uh, this Patreon, so always feel free to reach out and let me know what you're about - chances are we are able to incorporate your wishes and suggestions! By popular demand, the next release will be the city streets with shops and a marketplace! Like the last release, there will be two forms: A regular bright version and a gloomy/horror one, so you can easily use it both as Vallaki or incorporate it into your Homebrew setting. And after that?
THE POLL:
Should I just massively expand the village?
I could use this month (two releases in July) to further expand the village - a prison, city walls, a gate house, canalization, more shops and points of interest. I could build a whole city, to be honest. In past polls, a city always scored quite high, but why not make another one?
QUESTION: DO YOU WANT ME TO MASSIVELY EXPAND THE TOWN SETTING FOR THE NEXT TWO RELEASES?
