Welcome to our Patreon!
Added 2019-09-23 21:17:00 +0000 UTCHello there! And welcome to TRAXIANS, our subscription offering on Patreon.
Holy cats! We're grateful and humbled by your response so far to our soft launch here on Patreon. But of course, our fans are the best, so who would expect anything less?
We hope you've been enjoying the archive of goodies we've transferred over from Drip and preserved here for posterity. What would future generations do without Susan's Multi-Million-Dollar Deal Making Cheese Puffs or The Legend of Octaman?
For those of you who are new here: welcome! Patreon is a subscription platform that allows web-based "creators" (like us!) to keep in touch more directly with our loyal fans. Your monthly subscription of a few bucks grants you access to exclusive content, insight into our riff-writing and production process, early access to hilarious RiffTrax bonus content like our music videos you might have seen before recent Live shows, and more! Some of this is still being figured out, and your feedback will help shape these here Traxian pages as they continue to evolve.
So what do you think so far? What else would you like to see? Let us know in the comments! We're thinking of our own fun new features just for Traxians, and will be revealing those soon.
And don't forget: there's only a few weeks left to become a Founding Traxian! Be sure to let others know who you think would wear the badge with honor.
Speaking of badges, we've just enabled account linking and achievement unlocks for Founding Traxians on RiffTrax.com:
To link your account and unlock those achievements, first become a TRAXIAN by subscribing to our $3 tier, and once you've joined, visit your account profile page here and click the "Link your Patreon account" button to authorize your account.
We're working on enhancements to the RiffTrax site to take advantage of your Traxian subscription tiers - we'll post more about those in the coming days and weeks.
That's all for now, but we'll be back soon with much more.
Yours in Traxing,
- Mike, Kevin, Bill, and the RiffTrax Team

2020-04-28 22:45:44 +0000 UTCI am officially linked with rifftrax now and an official patreon now too my first payment went through.

2019-10-01 20:29:10 +0000 UTCI wonder if they’re waiting until there are 1500 backers before fulfilling that (only about 100 more to go).
Joe Lawler
2019-09-29 22:45:12 +0000 UTCQuestion: In the original mailing to us Founding DripTraxxers, you wrote: " And there are perks! ... We'll also be offering $5 in gift card credit to each of the first 1,500 Patrons" Any idea how/when that is being fulfilled?

I had an untimely dip in income, after supporting the Crappening Kickstarter at the $100 level, and was unable to attend any of the live shows, but that's behind me, and now I work only about a mile from one of the local theaters which hosts every live event.

2019-09-28 16:22:34 +0000 UTCYou're right! Sorry about that. It appears to be an issue at Patreon. We're investigating and will try to get this fixed asap!

2019-09-28 14:56:37 +0000 UTCI could not find the patreon link either

2019-09-28 14:48:35 +0000 UTCI was so pleased I hung a small noose in the window for the children to see. Someday!

2019-09-28 14:34:43 +0000 UTCI couldn't find a "link your patreon account" link on my actual account - not sure if that means I'm already set up or not. The badges aren't colored in like the Kickstarter ones are so I'm not sure if I'm good to go or not.

2019-09-28 05:03:30 +0000 UTCOh and what went into/inspired to that awesome world map from the Film Crew. (You should sell copies of that btw)
Amoda
2019-09-25 14:39:46 +0000 UTCI would love to hear an occasional story from behind the scenes. Even going back to the MST3K days. What were the most fun sketches to do? What inspired some of the props? What happened to the giant omlette? That sort of slice of creative insight and story telling would be fun. 🙂

2019-09-24 19:05:42 +0000 UTCGreat idea! We're actually thinking about posting something just like this. Stay tuned!

2019-09-24 19:05:33 +0000 UTCBadges? We don't need no stinking bad-- actually, we like the badges very much, Thanks for the badges!
Rob Graham
2019-09-24 12:41:41 +0000 UTCOne thing that would be fun, based on some of my other Patreon-ages, is if you would give us a little taste of soon to be released riffs. Just a minute or so. Could even make it into a guessing game as to what the movie is. Oh and all of the stuff you were already doing on dRip. :) Keep doing that.
