"Thank You", New Tiers

A couple weeks into April, Ben and I had been talking about how excited we were about approaching the 100 patron milestone, and what we should do when we hit it. I think we were sitting at around 80-90 patrons at the time. Up until that point, since we started the patreon, we had been growing by 6-8 patrons per month, and had expected to not hit 100 patrons for maybe a few more weeks. We hit 100 patrons in the next two days after our latest release and then we left that milestone in the dust. Work has begun on the adventure, and though it will eventually be packaged as a complete, free product, we hope to have the first battle map associated with it released next week for patrons. 

We've hit a minor explosion in growth, and we have all of you to thank for that. We're a long ways off still from our goal of being able to create tabletop content full-time, but we're in no rush, and all the support we've received from you folks thus far is incredibly encouraging. 

So thanks again, because every nice Reddit, Facebook, or Twitter comment and every new subscriber we see still makes us feel great every time it happens. 

Okay, now on to the important news. 

New Supporter Tiers + Patron Discord Server

We're excited to announce two new tiers to the Patreon, our Discord server, and monthly polling, going live today. We know people are interested in specific types of tokens, and we'd like to see that too, but we also want to make sure that our output for stuff like that is at a point that we're personally satisfied with before we start charging people. 

$5 - Myth

At this tier you will receive: 

• Benefits from all previous      tiers.
• The ability to submit      personalized map and dungeon suggestions which will go directly into the      monthly polls to determine what type of content we create. 

$10 - Legend 

At this tier you will receive: 

• Benefits from all previous      tiers. 
• The knowledge that you're      putting us on the fast-track to doing what we love for a living. 
• The ability to work with us      directly to create maps, encounters, NPCs, and dungeons. Have a cool      encounter you want to see fleshed-out? An NPC you want built? Lets make it      happen. This tier may result in additional content on top of our regular      release schedule that is made freely available for all current patrons.      Patrons at this tier will have access to an exclusive discord server      channel where we brainstorm ideas for our content and are encouraged      (patrons at this tier cannot set a monthly limit)

A few notes on the Legend tier — we're setting an early limit of 5 patrons to determine if a) this is something people are even interested in and b) if we can make it work. We want to be able to manage expectations while still delivering what people want to see. If there is enough interest at the Innkeeper tier, there is a high probability that we will be able to deliver extra monthly supplements to all patrons on top of our regular output. There is a possibility that this tier gets adjusted or removed in the future if we aren't satisfied with how its working. 

And a Discord server! Patrons of any tier can join the server at this link: https://discord.gg/yQgTyaz. (though I think most of you have joined automatically, sorry about that) Hopefully there's enough interest here to make this worthwhile! Map and content suggestions can be submitted in the discord server or through patreon mail, whichever you prefer. Otherwise, if you're looking for yet another server to hang out in or want to chat with us, that's where we can be found.
