History of Paper Money: Series Art

Over the course of this series, we have asked time after time: just what is money? Artist Lil Chan channels Magritte in asking us to re-evaluate our perceptions.

P.S. Can you figure out what's written in binary code around the coin? Or what the plant on the coin represents? Or the additional play on words (in French)?

P.P.S. Adding another hint to make things more Fair and help those Sage folks with a True Love of riddles, who are still trying to figure out the plant reference: these are...

The History of Paper Money - VI: The Gold Standard - Extra History

The gold standard survived for centuries. What finally brought it down? 

Reminder: $8 Reward Update!

As of today, the $10 pledge tier has been removed, and its reward has now been added to the $8 pledge tier. If you previously pledged at the $10 tier, you will automatically have access to the $8 tier (and you are welcome to update your pledge amount so you aren't overpaying!). If you previously pledged at the $8 tier, you will now be able to send your topic suggestions when the survey goes live this coming weekend.

As always let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues! -Soray...

Patreon @ GaymerX: Extra Credits Featurette

Media Director Soraya Een Hajji (hey, that's me!) talks about what Patreon has done for us as Creators, and how we hope to see it help indie game developers like those at GaymerX!

Suggest a US History Topic: November

Summary: Next month we will only be accepting US History topics as suggestions for our next Extra History poll.

When the History of Paper Money series ends next week and we put up the survey asking for suggested topics, we're going to be asking you all for your suggestions about US History, exclusively.

This is a temporary measure: not all future surveys are going to be limited to one area or concept. But we do want to make sure that we are giving ourselves the opport...

$8 and $10 Tiers: UNITE!

Summary: The rewards for the $8 and $10 tier will be combined into one single tier which gives access to the Q&A and ability to suggest an Extra History topic. The $10 tier will be eliminated as a reward level.

Starting November 1, we are going to combine the $8 (Q&A) and the $10 tier (Suggest a Topic) into a single tier which will remain at the $8 level. This new tier will offer BOTH rewards (Q&A and Suggest a Topic) at the $8 patronage level.

Why the change? As...
