August Update Blog (Patreon)

Hi gang, let me get you up to speed with what's going on in the Swords Universe.

Gladiator Tier Tournament
There's been some confusion surrounding the latest batch of comics - this is an OC tournament for supporters on a special tier from a few years ago, that I am finally making good on. You may have seen some angry comments on the Discord here and there over the last year or two. Other patrons may appear in the background, so be sure to post your OC in the Discord room Paladins-Keep so I have some references.
If you are one of the remaining 8 patrons who hasn't joined the dedicated Gladiator Discord server, please get in touch.

Cut the Deck
I will have Prototype V2.0 on Monday, and then I will make a Kickstarter update. There's a little more art to do and there are some more rule changes we're going to experiment with. The goal is to make the game fast and fun, but we may have overcompensated for some playstyles with the last rule tweaks. We're narrowing in on what makes us happy.

Swords Video Games
We are currently working on a smaller Swords video game that we are hoping to invite Patrons to beta-test with us soon. It has also just been through some big rule changes!

Rapier Tapir Plushie
The Rapier Tapir Plushie is still 10 sales short of its funding goal, and we've been given an extra week to get it over the line.

Next Makeship Project
There is one more Makeship project in September and that is the last thing I am making this year, so I can focus on shipping Cut the Deck. I think this one is going to get fully funded in minutes, not days, so keep an eye out,

Golden Club and Platinum Club Entries
26 new members have been added to the Golden Club and 1 new person has been added to the Platinum Club on the Swords Discord. This is just a little way that I can make sure I know who has been an awesome supporter of the series.

Cleaning Up Old Tiers
The Adventurer, Warrior and Hero tiers of Patreon have been outdated for a while now - if you are still on these tiers and are happy to move to another one, that would really help me with auditing the empty tier and catching up on missing rewards. I will be happy to talk about doing a little doodle in exchange for your continued loyalty.

I think that's it for now!
Thank you!
