I am not actually native to Phil...

Also, Patreon changed the interface for making posts and it’s fairly janky, so if you notice anything set up wrong with this notification (i.e. missing files, etc.), let me know in the comments. Thanks.

New Stuff Added

Hey everyone, I’m doing a little restructuring of the Patreon benefits and adding a few options that weren’t previously available, including some new benefits for membership.

• First, the digital editions of all The Order of the Stick books are now available through Patreon. These are the same books I’ve been offering over at Gumroad, but some readers have asked me for an alternative purchasing location. So now anyone (not just Patreon members) can buy and download ...

Welcome to the last set of Answers for 2024! These questions are submitted by Patreon supporters but the answers are free for anyone to read. Let’s get to it:
