Patreon Restructuring and Announcements

Digit Farewells

First and foremost, I'm sad to announce that three long time members of the Mage Hand Press writing team, the Palm, Thumb, and Knuckles are parting ways. When we started this project, it was a fledgling blog for a game system with no content. With their help, we grew it into the wonderful little platform it is today. We've all picked up responsibilities in the meantime, however -- marriages, kids, ferrets -- which demand real and important attention, and understandably, tackling increasingly ambitious projects just wasn't in the cards for everyone. Don't shed too many tears, because you'll still be able to ping them on Discord heart's content. (Also, this won't affect your scheduled monthly Mage Hand Press content in any way.) 

In the meantime, we have a new team member I’d like to announce: The Pinky. He’s been working with us unofficially for years -- going all the way back to the Shugenja class -- and many of you probably know him already as Grand Moff Xela. Expect the team to grow more in the coming weeks as we search out new Digits to join the MHP ranks. 

Patreon Rework 

As you might know, we'll soon be reworking the Patreon tiers to better reflect our vastly improved quality and quantity of output over the years. At the end of this month, we'll unpublish the $1 and $2 tiers, making it so nobody new can join them, and In one month, on May 15th, we'll delete them and switch over to the new system:

$3: Hero

You get PDFs of every book and rules supplement we’ve created over the last year. You can also vote on what we do next.

$5:  Dungeon-Delver

You get PDFs of everything we’ve EVER created, going all the way back to 2016. You get two votes on what we do next.

$10: Producer

You get everything we make, and a producer credit at the end of every book and PDF. You get three votes on what we do next, and we’ll send you a softcover whenever we do a print run of them.

FAQs

Ask questions below or in the Patreon, and I’ll be happy to answer them here.

Will I be upgraded to the $3 tier if I’m at a lower one? Nope. You’ll have to switch manually. If you're at the $1 or $2 levels, you simply won't be able to access any of your old rewards once we switch over.

Will softcovers to Producers ship internationally? Yes, we plan to ship internationally. 

Which books will you release in softcover? We want to release the Mimic Book of Mimics, Cobalt Book of Kobolds, and Complete Investigator, to name a few. 

How often will you print softcovers? This is a tricky question, as it depends on Kickstarters going well, but we'd like to do at least one run a year.
