Hey everyone, M here. It's been a quiet week production wise in the house of Mapping, but that's all about to change this week. We didn't plan it that way, it's just how stuff shook out.
This week we had:
Hey everyone, M here today. I have to admit I’m struggling to come up with a topic for the letter this week. Jackson kind of stole the idea I had for last week’s, and while I don’t begrudge them that, I’m sitting here staring at this blank screen with a sense of dread that puts me in mind of my young, fiction-writing days when blank windows were a constant source of stress.
I don’t really talk about it much anymore, but there was a good three years when my Internet Presence and free ...
2017-08-05 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey friends! It's time for the weekly update, where I fill everyone in on what's happening over in the land of Abnormal Mapping. It's been a busy week, so here we go:
Hi everyone, Jackson here with this week's Patreon Letter! I've been spending an above average amount of time this past week (even for me) watching, reading and talking about Star Trek so, unsurprisingly, that's what I've sat down to write about.
A week ago, the big trailer for Star Trek Discovery dropped at comic-con, and the reaction in my circles has been somewhat muted. I've seen a lot of takes of people di...
2017-07-29 14:08:25 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! This is the first of a new weekly series that breaks off the updates that were attached to the Patreon letter into their own post. This is in large part because locking updates away behind the $5+ tier was a bad choice, even if it means slightly more work from us to get two of these up a week. This'll be pretty short, at least.
Hello everyone, M here again for this week's Patreon letter. If you notice, we don't have any updates for you today. That's because, going forward, the weekly update will be a separate post that we write and put up every Sunday for all Patrons instead of appended to the front of this writing. It didn't really make sense that useful links were behind this higher tier of pledging, anyway. If that means these letters appear a little shorter, then my apologies.
We're about to record our episo...
Hello everyone! M here, with the August update for all patrons! We've been super busy settling into our new four-show schedule, but it's been nice to be busy as hell. Thanks to everyone for your support. I know most of the Patreon updates are focused at the $5+ tier, with the weekly writing and all, but every bit of support helps a lot.
We're probably going to change a bit of how that works. Right now we have a weekly updates portion of the Patreon letter that we're going to break out st...
2017-07-16 13:26:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, it's Jackson here with another Patreon letter, hope you've all been well. Here are The Updates:
Hello friends, M here again with a new Patreon letter for a new month. Let's get down to business!
Hey friends. You're all signed up for another month, and thank you again for all your Patronage. We're in a good place and figuring out our new more intense schedule and we can do that because of y'all.
Like last month, it's time for you all to suggest a game for us to play, this time for our August episode. Unlike last month, I don't have one we've been thinking about doing like I did for our July game, so voting this month will be entirely based on patron suggestions.
One other s...
2017-07-06 00:42:52 +0000 UTC View PostHi friends, and welcome to the latest exclusive Patreon letter! It's Jackson here, with the updates you crave. As ever, it's a busy time here at Abnormal Mapping HQ, so I'm going to break down the important happenings for you!
Hello everyone! M here again for another Patreon letter. First things first, as is tradition, some updates to get y'all started.
Hey everyone, M here. We're at our first poll, which means every Patron gets to help vote on the game we'll play for next month. This will usually be pulled from our own working games list, and also suggestions offered up by $5+ patrons this month.
We only got one suggestion this month, which is surprising given how many games we haven't played that people love and talk about on the regular. I mean, I'm glad y'all enjoy the games we self select, but I expected people to have burning games to s...
2017-06-19 23:55:00 +0000 UTC View PostFriends, welcome, one and all, to the Patreon Letter. Things are extremely busy for me and I've found a moment to breathe for a couple hours and write this for you so let's get right to the updates:
Hey friends, Jackson here with a little update to Abnormal Mapping patrons! Here ya go:
First thing: $5 Patrons have until Monday to write game suggestions in for Next Month's Abnormal Mapping! After that, we'll be putting up these picks in a poll for everyone to vote on, which is going to be a lot of fun.
Second thing: we have a lot of patrons who haven't selected a reward tier, or who'...
2017-06-14 20:55:19 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! M here again for another weekly update. We're in the middle of spinning a lot of plates, so excuse the bunch of updates in this piece.
Hello $5+ and up patrons! M here, for this update full of possibilities. Our first payments processed, which means that you all quality for the rewards set at this tier. That mostly means writing from me and Jackson every Saturday, but there’s more!
First, about the monthly hang out thing. We don’t have a ton of patrons, so we can do this in one of a couple ways. We could do a skype call. We could do a google hangout or a private stream over youtube’s live streaming service. This would p...
2017-06-04 20:26:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, Jackson here with this week's Patreon Letters! This week is our first payment week(!!!), which is very exciting and means that when everything processes, we're going to move ahead with the first stage of bonuses and goals. What does that mean right now? Well let's break it down:
Hello friends! M here again for your weekly dose of updates and thoughts. Let's hop right into it!
Hi folks, Jackson here with the second weekly letter for $5+ Patrons! These are fun updates about what is going on with the site, as well as some loose thoughts about whatever is on our minds this week. In olden times, I believe they called this “Blogging.”
But first up, the all-important updates:
Hello everyone, and happy weekend. This is going to be the first of our weekly letter series for $5+ and up patrons, about what we've been up to and what's on our mind. I don't intend for these to be especially long, but you know how it can be when writers are given an empty page and a broad perogative to make something. So we'll just have to see.
First off, updates to the network in general:
- we're prepping to record Abnormal Mapping 63, covering Myst, which we'll do next w...
2017-05-13 12:26:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, I wanted to take a quick minute to thank everyone for pledging and getting us over our first goal within like a single day. Hitting that first goal was the main reason we started this Patreon, and now that it's met we can do the podcast without worrying about how much it costs us out of pocket, and that's a big deal. We're a humble little show, so your support means a lot.
This post is going to be public, because I want people to be able to see what's going on right now. ...
