Hello :D You might be pleased to hear that I have not been exploded by fireworks and will continue my existence throughout the new year! :D I was happy to find out at least. And I wish all of you the best for 2016 as well!

Some updates! First and most importantly, Patreon has informed me that I'm not allowed to advertise luck-based rewards like the hand drawn tokens because it conflicts with gambling laws in the US. That's fair, so while updating the front page (with newer token images!) I removed the reference to random bonuses - but since it was just an add-on that wasn't included in my business math anyways, there's no reason for me to not throw hand drawn stuff in the letters here and there. I also have some out of print tokens left, some really cool miscuts and offcenter etc, and they might by accident get signed and then fall into a few envelopes. I just can't advertise it and I think that's actually fair - a bonus should be a bonus. Also the saprolings complained about not being the center of attention. They need it that badly.


Also! I've been thinking about what would be cool to add as new tiers, and if any of you have any ideas (basically stuff you'd think would be cool to get!) please let me know!

One idea is a buddy pack that'd be basically a two person tier with a unique bonus - would you go for that? Maybe something even a bit larger if you run a playgroup? It'd have tokens for say, 4 people, and then because of the bulk allow me to throw in extra bonuses.

I also thought about producing a special sparkly version of a token every month and then making a tier that includes it - see the image above for an example, I first started producing these for the Kickstarter campaign and they turned out to look really cool so maybe getting a different one every month might be cool!


I'd be insanely grateful for any and all input! Family pack? Sleeves (probably hard to do)? Stickers? Let me know what you think!

Any way to "catch up" if we started later or just wait until they come back around?

johannesvoss

Yes there's a way, I can send you a batch of previous waves' tokens - just send me a message and let me know :) Especially since my plan is to just keep designing new ones for the future and not really recycle :3

Stickers sound like the best possible thing :D

I'm just thinking of all the possible spots in friends' places where you could stick Saprolings :D

How's the best way to contact you? I would love to have some of the older tokens like from the Kickstarter, and squirrels. Have you done squirrels yet? I suppose a recommendation would be if you could offer a tier of different formats of tokens based on what you have left (like modern tokens, standard, vintage/legacy/EDH-commander/old?

johannesvoss

Just send me a personal message on here, that keeps it the most organized and thus, quickest :) That format based tier is a really cool idea, I'll give that some proper thought!

How about different colors on the token cards? Have you thought about doing art of just the Planeswalkers so that they could be used for emblems? (like just a portrait of Jace?) How about notepads with your art on them? I'd be cool with the sparkly tokens.

johannesvoss

Yes good ideas! I've been thinking about the color thing for a while - I'm gonna see if I can work out something that doesn't break the style. Tricky but maybe a good thing to do!

johannesvoss

Yes, emblems are on the "definitely" list! Notepads are a sweet idea - like for keeping track of Life totals, right? Actually that is a completely doable thing, I'm just researching it a little and it seems absolutely possible. How would you think would be the best way bring it into the tiers? Have a new tier at like 30 or 40 that holds tokens, plus a sparkly token and a notepad and then have the design be a new one each month?

Sparkly tokens and notepads sound great to me!

Any chance of you doing lands? People always need Basics

Have you considered making Patreon-exclusive Marit Lage tokens? They were originally on your list of Modern Essentials for the Kickstarter, but since Dark Depths is banned it made sense to take it off. I'd still love to see your rendition of the Avatar token, though!

Any chance of seeing squirrel tokens in the near future?

surly you can include a tier that has hand drawn tokens. bought outright by us.
