Changes to the Rewards Index!

Hey all! Some of you may have noticed that I updated the Rewards post today! It was less an update and more a complete overhaul. After the recent changes to the Patreon, it was due for a bit of a shakeup, but now -- thanks to Scott and Gunny -- it's also just way easier to find what you need.

The format and the few stray changes in content are not the only things that changed. There are a few minor updates to how you receive your rewards. So I figured I'd drop a summary here!

The Patreon Reward Index

Previously this post was called a really long title about getting your rewards, but I think people were still a bit confused, so I shortened it to the Patreon Reward Index. Hopefully that gives off more of a "find the info you need here" vibe.

You can find this post:

• Pinned at the top of the posts list on the Tamberlane Patreon
• In your Welcome Message
• In your My Membership tab
• Linked from the front of the Tamberlane Patreon

This post now contains:

• Where to find Tamberlane on the web
• How to contact me
• An index of tags to navigate posts by
• Directions to get your rewards, split by platform
• The FAQ

Changes to Rewards

• The Tamberlane Comic PDFs are now acquired through the Tamberlane Shop instead of Itch.io, with the help of a coupon.
• The Nickname/Acknowledgment form has been shifted back to a Google Form. Jotform has response limits that are too expensive to get around. NOTE: if you filled out any version of this form before, you don't have to do it again. We still have your data!
• The Emotes Form now has the option to opt out of your sticker being on the Foxglove Comics Discord.
• There is now a Emote Swap Form to change out the emote in your slot on the Foxglove Comics Discord.

...and that's it!

Upcoming Changes

There are some programming things we want to do to make everything a lot easier.  These are all planned, but we have no specific date for completion yet.

• The new tags (and new $50/$100 tiers) are being added to old posts. This will take some time, as it's a manual process. Thanks, Hope!
• Cameos will at some point have a front-end where you can see how many pages you've earned automatically, as well as how many have been added to your count.
• There will be an automated process where, upon hitting an anniversary or a $1k milestone, you will be emailed with a notice of what you've earned so far and how to redeem your rewards.
• I'd like to shift monthly/quarterly sketch rewards out of a Trello submission and into a form submission that automatically funnels into a public-facing Trello. This would cut down some confusion on how to use the medium, and give me more granular control on the cards. However, there are a lot of sticking points on this so, for now, we stay with Trello!

And that's everything I think! I hope this is helpful! Please let me know if you see any errors or anything that's not working!
