UPDATE!
Added 2018-08-06 16:30:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I spent a ton of time over the weekend deep in some hand-made HTML and a lot of research and thought and filming to bring to you an updated Patreon page.
Videos:
I added an intro video and a thank you video. Since you might have missed the thank you video (as in, you are already my Patreon) here is a link to it :

The intro video is on the new homepage and hopefully explains exactly what I mean when I talk about community. Go ahead and watch it in all minute 52 seconds of glory! :D
Patreon focus:
My focus is on bringing great perks, building an awesome community, and giving back! That's why I answer every comment on Youtube, every one on Facebook and ever post and comment here on Pateron. It's why I'm constantly active throughout the day in Discord and why all of my goals are focused on celebration and giving back to you guys. This has always been the case. As such, I put that front and center in the new Patreon page and have added even more ways to interact (more on that in a moment).
This focus, and recent realizations has compelled me to focus on what you guys get, not what I get. You all know very well that the money you provide is well used. I have backed more games, put more hours, and have more product all because of you! But this isn't a GoFundMe and so instead of saying "I need this" and "I need that" and making it all about me I am instead focusing on the many ways I hope to provide MORE to you guys above all of channel upgrades.
Below are the Patron tier changes. Note that this is not some call-to-action or pitch to have you go change your pledge. Just simply informing you of all the changes I've made to try and give back as much as I can :)
Patron tier changes:
- I added more information on what each benefit means to you on the main page.
- Knight ($5) tier gets early access to the upcoming King's Rant podcast. - So excited to share this with you soon!
- Duchess ($20) tier is loaded. I now offer opportunity to set aside some time to play a board game with YOU. We'd use Tabletop Simulator and spend at least 1 hour (in the case of a short or unending game) playing a board game, patrons only! Additionally Duchess level patrons will have access to the Voice channel on Discord so we can really talk, get a personal and audible recognition in my monthly Patreon video, and have exclusive access to a bonus podcast episode full of behind-the-scene information. I have some really fun plans around that one!
- Finally the Lord ($50) tier has been changed. Instead of saying I'll paint a large miniature for this tier on top of the Baron tier (that's a huge time sink that I'm afraid I'd fall far behind on) I will feature you in a podcast instead. Perhaps you'll interview me, perhaps I'll interview you, perhaps we'll just discuss our opinions on recent events. The sky is really the limit here! :)
So! Let me know what you all think. As always I love your feedback - after all you are the community! Don't be shy and don't hold back, your podcast feedback as you can see was taken into account from last time :)
Thanks for all that you do!
