An incredibly odd experience that has to be seen to be believed.
Closer to a funny look than an informative one, Geran tries Wheels of Aurelia: a visual novel/driving game set in 1970s Italy.

This is a very short little post to apologise for the missed Hoenn PokéSins episode and to assure you it'll be out within a few days. I know that means it'll probably be August by the time it's out (though I will try to get it out before then).

Some big changes to reward tiers and info about the free release of my D&D campaign story.
Make sure, if you're an existing patron on the $15 or $25 tiers, you check you're assigned to the right rewards. Patreon may not do it automatically.

For months I've been trying to find something to put at $15 that I'm happy with. While I enjoy the idea of a writing tier, I feel it hasn't succeeded. This is, at least partially, because this is a Patreon based around videos... Written stories just don't quite have the right audience. I do still want, and plan, to make writing available (in particular my Wandering Combine story), but in the meantime I'd like to change some things with this Patreon.
Hey, here is Episode 7.

In the meantime, I hope the player behaves. Sorry again.

I posted back in May about upcoming changes to Patreon's Sales Tax which will be taking effect from the 1st of July. I've just gone through and tweaked the individual settings for each reward tier to best comply with the new changes. As I found this all very confusing (and think I may finally have got my head round it), I thought I'd try to explain things.
