Big News! + Release Schedule for the next 3-4 months.
Added 2021-03-08 18:26:09 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Super Happy News!
I am very happy to announce that my partner and I are going to be having a baby towards the end of April/early May. This is going to be our first and we are both very excited, but as I'm sure you can imagine (or have experience of yourself) this will mean we are both super busy with the little one for a while. Both so I can support my partner and spend lots of time with my new family, I will be cutting back a bit on work for the next 3-4 months.
What this means for Patrons
I will not be stopping Patreon by any means, but I will be cutting down from 4 releases per month to 3 starting in April. This goes for both the main map sets and the Into the Wilds series.
As my Patreon uses the 'Per Creation' model, you will not be paying any extra or being charged the same for less content. Instead of charging 4x your pledge per month, I will only be charging 3x per month, so this will also be a bit of a saving for you all.
I will also be putting my Warrior and Curator commission tiers on pause. Patrons at those tiers this month will still get their rewards next month, but I will be temporarily removing the tiers at the start of April.
This will also mean there are no monthly character token packs for Adventurer tier patrons for the next few months, but the regular Adventure Modules from Alex will still be released as usual, and we have plenty more creature tokens coming from Splattered Ink.
Foundry packs will continue to be put out a week or so after the initial map release.
My current plan is to ramp back up to the regular release schedule by the start of August, if anything changes along the way I will keep you all updated.
Thank you all for making this possible!
I am incredibly fortunate that this Patreon, and all of your support, has allowed my partner and I to be able to afford to bring a baby into our lives. We recently moved into a bigger house, got a puppy and are looking forward to the next addition to our family, and we really couldn't have even begun to consider this without your help, so I want to give you all a huge thank you once again. The last 18 months have been a really wild ride and I can't wait to see where this all goes in the future.
If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments.
TLDR
- I'm having a baby
- Starting in April, there will be 3 releases per month instead of 4
- Commission tiers will temporarily be paused
- Everything else will continue as usual
- You are all super awesome

2021-03-09 07:29:08 +0000 UTCFrom one dad to a future one, as creative and artistic you are, you're about to make your greatest creation! Relish every second because you'll blink... One day that kid is driving you crazy next is driving you around. Best wishes to you and your partner! (how about some nursery assets / weapons?)

Jeffrey Good
2021-03-09 01:22:17 +0000 UTCCongratulations. Sobering thought, new parents (on average) get 1000 hours less sleep in the first year. So lot's more time to create content :)
