Opt Out of Public Thank You's

Opt Out Form

Some rewards involve calling out specific patrons by name as a way of thanking you, including in books and PDFs published while you're supporting the Patreon. Not everyone wants to be called out, though, so please fill out the above form if you'd like to opt out of specific recognition!

Art Studies

Submit a Character

Every Friday, our Discord hosts a weekly gathering we call Create What You Want (CWYW) that lasts throughout the day on a loose schedule. As the name suggests, I will be using Fridays to create whatever I want. That includes art studies at least once per month (no guarantee though) alongside Scott who also offers this reward for her webcomic Star Warriors.

I want to give back to my most generous patrons, which is why $100 patrons can submit as many characters or OCs as they like to this form for me to use in my art studies! Having your character chosen is not guaranteed. This is not a commission or a request. I'll choose a character from the pool that interests me or fits the study topic and thank the patron in writing on the finished piece. Know that characters may be altered for the study.

Patreon Access on Discord

These are exclusive to our public Discord, hosted in private Patron-only channels. Patrons with linked Discord accounts will automatically join and be given their roles. Follow this guide to link your Discord account to your Patreon account.

Early Comic Pages

You can read these pages on our Discord or here on Patreon in the Early Access Pages collection. Discussions tend to be far more active on our Discord, so keep that in mind if you want to chat about the pages with fellow readers! Spoiling or otherwise distributing early access rewards will result in your access being revoked by whatever means necessary.

Taint

This reward is prompted for and redeemed on the our Discord.

Once per month, patrons who have the Taint reward can give 1 user in the Discord access to the Tamberlane Patreon channels for 1 month. This allows them to view any pages uploaded into the buffer that month, as well as participate in reader reactions, and view any private Tamberlane livestreams. It's a lovely way to give back to the community and to help readers who may not be able to afford a frequent subscription. Some folks even create contests to choose their monthly victim recipient!

(Legacy) Cameos

Cameos are no longer offered through my Patreon, but eligible patrons from the past can still check their cameo status and update or submit their characters with the links above.

(Legacy) Lifetime Rewards

Current Queue

Lifetime Rewards are no longer offered through my Patreon, but eligible patrons from the past can still check the queue to see what's left to be accomplished.

🍂 Caytlin has chronic pain and fatigue.

If you're wondering why things are slow or release schedules are not as reliable as you'd like them to be, it's because Caytlin has chronic pain and fatigue. While she does her best to maintain a steady, uninterrupted pace, her health is her first priority and she often has to rest. Thank you for your support and patience!

FAQ: Pledging

🍂 I'm interested in pledging! How can I view all the tiers on one page?

All of the current tier options can be viewed on one page here. Keep in mind that while you can make a custom pledge, doing so will not assign you to any tier or its perks, and you will not be able to see any tier-specific posts!

If you want to receive specific perks but are interested in pledging a higher amount than listed, be sure to select the tier rather than create a custom pledge, and then adjust your monthly amount as desired. Alternatively, if you are interested in just making a custom pledge and not receiving any perks, that is completely fine as well! Thank you for your support.

🍂 When am I charged?

Upon pledging, you are immediately charged for the current month and access to all of Patreon's backlog. All subsequent months will be charged on the anniversary of the day you pledged. For example, if you signed up on the 3rd of April, you will be charged again on the 3rd of May.

🍂 I can only support at a lower tier, but I don't want you to think I'm cheap or stingy.

Honestly and truly, from the bottom of my heart, I would never think you're cheap or stingy! I treasure every lower tier supporter just as much as my higher tier supporters. In fact, lower tier support is vital to any Patreon, because high tier support fluctuates: few people can afford to stay at a high reward for long! So please don't worry, and understand that I appreciate every bit of support you offer, no matter the amount.

🍂 I have to lower or retract my pledge. Can I do that anytime?

Yes! You are welcome to lower or retract your pledge completely for any reason that you see fit, whether there has been a change in your circumstances or otherwise. Please take care of yourself first! I would much rather you be happy, healthy, and safe -- or even just spending your money on something that makes you happier!

Please note, however, that patrons who pay annually instead of monthly cannot reduce their pledge as long as their subscription is active.

🍂 Hey! I've just been banned from your Patreon! What gives?

This Patreon and its varied rewards are part of a community, and if you break the community rules, you lose access to rewards.

If you...

have created pornographic content of underage Tamberlane characters
persistently try to get around the rules (either here or on our community satellites, like the Foxglove Comics Discord server)
distribute Patreon-locked content to the public
are rude on a livestream, in the comments, or are otherwise disrespectful to myself, my team, or my community
treat the work myself or my team does as a disposable commodity

… you will be banned from supporting this Patreon, your current month will be refunded, and your rewards will not be fulfilled. Do note that this list is here to provide examples, and does not encompass all possible reasons for being banned.

FAQ: Rewards

🍂 I'm one of the legacy cameo supporters and I want to know more about my cameo.

We are striving to ensure every cameo has the appropriate amount of screen time while also making sure telling the story comes first. We cannot promise details or timeline as to when your cameo will appear -- just know we are doing our best!

If you'd like to see what information is available for your cameo, as well as the opportunity to submit or update your cameo form, please see the (Legacy) Cameos header above in the Rewards Index section.

🍂 You owe me an old reward from a previous version of the Patreon.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that! If you're after information about cameos or lifetime rewards, please see the (Legacy) Cameos or (Legacy) Lifetime Rewards headers above in the Rewards Index section.

If you're referring to a different reward, please contact me at artist@cvilbrandt.com and we'll see what we can do to make it right!

🍂 What happened to the side content, like Tales from Treehollow or Cast Q&A?

While we still aim to produce side content like that, we cannot do so on a schedule. We found that when we promised side content "as available," it set our patrons up for failed expectations and disappointment, so we removed them entirely from our promises.

However, when fresh side content drops, it's likely it will be delivered at the $10 Apricot Croissant tier and above before it's released to the public, with any $20 Chanterelle Scramble patrons and above getting their names published in the Thank You section of any PDFs or books it includes.

🍂 I'm on the $2 Legacy tier, but I don't see it on the Patreon. What does that mean?

The $2 Legacy tier is leftover from the previous iteration of the Patreon and is kept, unpublished, as a thank you to those who have pledged to it for so long!

If you are still pledging at the $2 Legacy tier, you will not receive the full benefits of the $5 Cuppa Tea tier. Instead, you will retain the benefits you had before: access to new Tamberlane pages 1 week early, special Patreon access on our community Discord, and your name in the Thank You section on the front page of the Tamberlane website after 12 consecutive months of pledging.

The benefits of the new lowest tier that you will miss out on are access to private comic page livestreams and your name being thanked in print for any books or PDFs published while you're pledging.

As the $2 Legacy tier is unpublished, once you leave the tier you cannot pledge to it again.

Should you have any questions or need to reach out, feel free to contact me! You can get a hold of me via Patreon message, or by email at artist@cvilbrandt.com. Please note that due to chronic health issues, my reply time is often slow, and I may choose not to respond.
