Updates and Changes Summer 2021

Hey everyone!

I would like to give you an update on some of the changes coming to my patreon. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments. As you know, we've opened the discord and there have been a lot of changes there, if you're not on it, join us! Here are a few things that are being changed in terms of rewards and tiers. It's a bit of a long one, but there's a TLDR at the end as well.

New Feature: Card pack index

I think this has been a long time coming, but I've finally added an index in the megapack of item cards on the Silver tier. The first pages of the pdf are now the index. You will be able to find this index in the next item card post. It even allows you to click on the number in the index to go to the page. This will hopefully save you time finding what you're looking for! (Tip: on seaofstarlight.com you can also see all the items by rarity, name and type, even if you don't have access to the content itself)

New Format: VTT/Online Item Cards
As previously announced, I've looked into creating a new item card format where the art and text is both on one side which would be good for online play. I'm excited to say I've succeeded! These cards will be available on the GOLD tier.

Structure and Summer Cleaning
Because of the new formats and features, It takes more work keeping things updated, but they also offer a quality of life upgrade which makes other products less important. Maintaining themed sets is one of the biggest jobs for me. Because finding what you need is easier with the index, I will be removing the card-only silver sets* on August 10th. Make sure you download them before that date if you wish to save them. Know that all these items will still be available and updated in the megapack! (*includes Relics of the Realms and the themed sets)

In the future, there will only be one 'full pack' item card post for each formats which will be linked in the index post here on patreon. The 'new additions' post will only include the new items and a link to the full pack. The new pack will of course include these new additions as well. (The new additions posts will not be linked in the index on patreon to keep navigation uncomplicated)

Sea of Starlight and new types of content.
As some of you may know, I've spent the last month writing a lot of stuff on Sea of Starlight. I've joined in on the WorldAnvil Summercamp event, you can find all my entries in the sidebar in this article. I'm trying my hand at NPC's, locations, and even little questhooks. The worldbuilding has inspired me a lot in terms of making way more interesting content (including this months batch of items) so i'm very excited about this development. I'm still figuring out how to best communicate these articles to you through patreon because it is SO much. You can always FOLLOW my world on worldanvil for updates there. Of course I'm also looking into turning some of these articles into simple PDF's. Would really like to make NPC pages for example.

Other changes
The following changes have also been made or will be made in the near future

• Tiers mention the specific discord roles
• Gold tier now includes Themed Sets and Vtt/Online cards.
• Added 'Lifetime Sea of Starlight access' to Diamond tier
• A sample pack of the different rewards will be made and linked in the description of the page so that you can see what each tier offers.
• Magic items have been processed in the new formats, I'm currently working on the potions and poisons, but processing is quite time consuming.
• I've edited some things in a couple of item, at the end of August, all the sets (pages+cards) will be updated, the item card megapacks and Sea of Starlight have already been updated. (Mostly grammar, spelling and formatting)
  

TL;DR

• Index in print and play item card package
• New digital card format at the Gold Tier
• Silver posts of sets will be removed on the 10th of August
• Static item card full packs, new additions separate.
• Building a world on Sea of Starlight, there's tons of new (types) of content coming your way.

That's all! Again, if you have any questions or thoughts, please drop 'm in the comments or strike up a conversation on the discord!

Enjoy!
