2025 Reward Tiers Update

Dear Patrons,

Today, we are announcing revisions to our Patreon tiers to offer new rewards to both existing and future supporters.

No matter your pledge level, you are an important part of our community. Our Patrons have helped us grow and expand in ways we never would have imagined when we started our channel in 2017. Words cannot express how deeply grateful we are for your generosity encouragement, and support.

Our goal is to make this change as seamless as possible for all current Patrons. Our Discord will remain a Patron-only place for all our current and future Patrons to meet, chat, and discuss TTRPG topics.

Why Change?

We want to add new rewards to our Patreon tiers to thank our patrons for your amazing support. Furthermore (and to be fully transparent) we hope that adding more value to our reward tiers overall will attract new Patreon supporters. 

Here’s a summary of how the pledge tiers are changing:

Legacy Pledge Tiers

The following tiers are being retired and will become unavailable for any new patrons.

Existing patrons can remain at these tiers as long as their subscription remains active.

Adventurer ($1 per month) and Heroic ($3 per month) 

Receive the following rewards:

• Discord Access.

• Monthly Patreon Update Posts.
