Patreon billing changes (Patreon)

You will all likely have now heard about the billing changes Patreon have announced.  Creators were informed about the change at the same time as patrons, so we have been reading the various posts on this issue for the last day or so to try and follow it all.  There has been a lot of negative feedback and we hope that Patreon listens to this and makes some changes.

If we have understood correctly, patrons backing us at $5 will pay an extra $0.50 in fees to Patreon.  We are unsure exactly how that affects the VAT payments that EU backers pay - it seems likely that the VAT will still be calculated on the $5, not on the total including the fee.  

We are really sad that our patrons are now being asked to pay a little bit more than the $5 pledge level at which they signed up.  Unsurprisingly and understandably, we have already lost a number of patrons who feel they cannot pay this extra charge.  

We are so very grateful to everyone who decides to stick with us.  For our part, we feel the best thing we can do is to work hard to make your pledge seem really worth it.  We hope that you do feel it is already.

With that in mind we made you a bonus map this evening - a 10x12 petrothere's den.  Of course, although a petrothere (the monster-animal in our last adventure supplement) is supposed to live there, we're sure any wild creature would find it a good place to make their home.  The tile can also match up with the Winter Pine Forest Modular set, so that may prove useful.  Download links are below.
