Patreon Restructuring update

Hey everyone, here's a relatively big update to go along with Spooktober reveals.

In an effort to help get a little closer to the dream of making Patreon a full-time endeavor (for anyone not in the know, I do this in my free time, in addition to a full time job), I've created a few new tiers and made a few changes.

The standard World Warrior tier will remain the same, although I've capped the amount of people that can join (there's about 20 spots left). Its now your early bird, best bang-for-buck tier for all of my earliest supporters on this 1-year and some change journey so far.

Once that has reached its cap, there's a new World Warrior tier that's functionally the same, except it'll be $7 USD vs the early bird's $5 USD.

For the Warlord tier and all other tiers that receive Warlord perks, I'll be including one or two Warlord-exclusive STLs each month as a thank you for my biggest supporters, in addition to taking your suggestions. If/when I make it to full-time Patreon, rest assured I'll regularly work on more monthly requests for you all!

We also have the Just the 'Mons tier, which will be $5 for people who are only interested in Digimon/Pokemon (plus the monthly Pokemon trainer model). So if your primary interest is one or both of those, I hope you'll find it affordable and invaluable! I'll have separate release posts for 'Mons vs everything else starting next month. If you join this tier for September 2023, enjoy access to all the goodies!

The Saturday Night Reruns tier will be effectively the same as the Warlord tier, except people at this tier will also receive a MyMiniFactory invite to an older release (typically around a year old). At $15, its a cost-effective way to slowly catch up on the back catalogue if you're in it for the long haul. For this month, our throwback will be the August 2022 release (pictured above).

Edit: There will be no changes to Merchant tiers, besides also receiving Warlord exclusive models.

Additionally, starting this month I'll be uploading the free Pokemon models on MMF/Thingiverse/Cults3d without pre-supported files, and will have a Google Drive link where all Pokemon models to date and their supported files can be located for patrons.

I think that's everything, so be sure to let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and with that I just want to thank you all for your time and continued support!
