Pausing Patreon Until Q1 2021
Added 2020-12-03 02:11:03 +0000 UTCThis is a rather difficult decision to make.
I'm pausing the Patreon until March 2nd of 2021. This means that Patreon will not charge you on January, February, and March 1st and I won't post content until then. If you are a newcomer, you will be charged upfront to access all the content published so far, and you will get the rewards through DriveThruRPG, but you won't be charged these dates.
The reasons for the pause are as follows.
University: I've just started an intensive semester at the university with two strong subjects which will demand a lot of my time and mental faculties, and I feel unsure if I will be able to keep up with the production of content for Patreon.
Content: Since I have finally established the format of the periodic content I publish, the next step is to convert Ironcrunch to the Adobe InDesign format. So if I had time to devote to Patreon it would be for this purpose, and it doesn't feel fair for me to expect retribution for this work. I would prefer it to be something I do in my spare time during this break.
Holidays: I need to spend more time with my wife during the holidays.
DriveThruRPG printing and shipping delay: I would like to get this matter done before I continue with Patreon's regular content. I owe you the physical copies of the card sets and DriveThruRPG is having delays due to the COVID issue. At least that's what the publisher's hub says.

This the history of the first proof copy I sent to a USA address.


After this proof copy reaches its destiny, I'll make the proper corrections and make the same procedure with all three card sets. Then, I'll make the print-on-demand option public and I'll send you the discount codes to get them for free. You'll be paying the cost of printing and shipping, which is the following.
- Ancestries (65 cards): $5,85 + shipping
- Demeanors Card Set (40 cards): $3,60 + shipping
- Motivations Card Set (35 cards): $3,15 + shipping

I thank you very much for all the support you have given this Patreon, and I strongly encourage you not to leave. This announcement does not mean that I am abandoning the content creation or that I am going on a hiatus indefinitely. You can still find me active on Discord. You can contact me there (Samkiud#1904) or by messaging me here. I send you a big hug. Take care, and have a happy holiday.

First of all best of luck with university! And I agree, the winter season is a season to spend with family and dear ones. And partnership is just as important as ironsworn. Some might even say it's even more important /s 😉 And next, it's very noble of you to consider pausing patreon for those other reasons. I can't say I agree completely since it's something that concerns ironcrunch completely. But on the other hand doing what feels right is just as important if not more. So I applaud you for doing and handling this the way you do. Enjoy the months off and I'll be here when you return.
