Poll for New Monthly Content

I want to run this poll to discuss new content and changes that I may make to the $1 and $3 tiers. I run these polls from time to time to get a sense of the kinds of rewards people enjoy on my Patreon.

Last month I did not post my scheduled story/article as I do every month around the 29th. No one has messaged me about it, and those stories/articles get very few views. I realize some of you may read them through the email you receive, but feedback for them has certainly dwindled. Those articles and stories take a considerable amount of time to make. If not many people are enjoying them, I would rather not spend time and put that effort into writing games or some other form of content.

This poll will help me to understand the type of rewards/content you would like to see here. Nothing will change about the alpha testing versions for $5, $10, & $25 patrons. This will only affect some form of new reward for the $1-3 tiers. (Remember, higher tiers also get those rewards as well)

I'm also considering combining those tiers. Very few people are signed up at $1. Also I will not be taking down any of the stories previously posted. 

Below are options for a new form of content at the $3 tier.

Interactive Story - I will post a choice at the beginning of the month. Based on the result, I will write a 500 word story for what happens next. It will be like our own private choice game within Patreon.

Short videos - I will produce a ten minute video on some topic chosen by a poll each month. These topics can be game reviews, discussion of published content, or game design. These videos will go on my public YouTube channel, but patrons will be able to vote on the topic of the video.

A new game alpha - I have thought about creating another game for Hosted Games but one that will be developed much more slowly so I don't take away from ZE:SH. I could share this game in an alpha for those at the $3 level.

Live Q&A - I could host a question and answer session once a month in which I answer questions or even adopt the persona of a character for that question and answer. We could do this on Discord in a Patreon only channel.

I am also open to other suggestions.

I can still do that. Maybe instead of a scenario poll each month, I can mix a Q&A in.

I appreciate that. I can do stories from time to time but will consider them an extra benefit. I want something that everyone will enjoy, and I like the interactive nature of doing a story with my patrons.

Same here!!

While, I definetly voted for IF I think it would be fun if every once in awhile you did a Q&A answering some questions about different characters, etc. A lot of IF authors do something similar on tumblr

I can’t speak for everyone but I definitely enjoy the monthly stories. I’m just more of a lurker haha but ultimately any of these sound great too
