I hope you've kept your seat warm.If you're reading this, you've been around for the LONG HAUL. My time as a YouTuber/Livestreamer/Podcaster/Author/Host/Entertainer/Whatever you wanna call me has been a complex one. I've been told that's how life goes... things change, you adapt, all the fun challenges worth tackling.
There were changes to Patreon about a year ago. Specifically, launching the Pro Gamer's Guide Fan Club (with exclusive perks like Collectible Cards) and Patreon becoming a "general support" hub without other benefits.
Shortly after launching the Fan Club, we began production on our third picture book, Pro Gamer's Guide to Defeating Trolls, which was successfully funded on Kickstarter! Our goal is to create inspiring stories for the next generation of gamers. We've learned that working on larger-scale projects aligns better with the direction we want for Pro Gamer's Guide.
All PGG Fan Club subscriptions will automatically end on October ast, 2025.I've decided to sunset the Pro Gamer's Guide Fan Club. Patreon will once again be the "end all be all" place to support my work.
Patreon will be the place to stay up-to-date on all the things "Brian Saviano" is cooking, while Pro Gamer's Guide will see new projects launching on Kickstarter and other places. ๐
I'm not a fan of flip-flopping like this, but things change. My goal wasn't to confuse you or drop the ball, but I understand that may have happened in the shuffle. I want to provide sustainable, incredibly cool benefits you can enjoy, and putting this support to good use on cool projects.
Thank you for bearing with these changes and (hopefully) understanding.
As of October 1st, the Pro Gamer's Guide Fan Club will be retired entirely (so your subscription will end automatically.) I've kept track of whose owed benefits, and have reached out already to get it sorted.
New Patreon benefits will officially begin on October 1st. Look forward to posts outlining the new benefits in the coming weeks as we approach the official re-launch.
Prepare yourselves (again), because I've been cooking!With Patreon being restored and enhanced, you can look forward to these benefits:
๐ Quarterly Giveaways for ALL supporters (even FREE tiers)
๐ผ๏ธDigital Downloads (wallpapers, profile pictures, etc.)
๐ Monthly Collectible Cards
๐ฅA NEW Patreon-exclusive podcast, "Fireside with Brian Saviano"
โ๏ธ Your Name in the Credits
... and more to come.
By updating things every three months (aka 'quarterly'), it gives me enough time to fulfill everything while not getting overwhelmed with the ongoing projects.
Your continued support means everything to me.Whether you're a long-time Bricks 'O' Brian fan, transitioning from the Fan Club, or taking a peek for the first time, I appreciate your support. If you're a OG supporter hesitant to rejoin, I understand. Like I said, I'm not a fan of flip-flopping either.
Let me prove it to you. I'll show you all the amazing benefits of supporting here, being involved in the community, and dedicating your energy to this space.
By January 1st 2026, I look forward to showing you the new foundation, and showcasing where the future is going.
The tides have shifted. There's something in the air right now... I can't quite pinpoint it yet, but I have a really good feeling about the rest of 2025.
I hope you'll come along for the ride.
