Rewards: New Goodies, and Easier to Claim!

Added 2019-08-21 19:33:51 +0000 UTC

Hello, helpful humans!

If you've looked at the rewards sidebar on the right side of the Patreon page recently, you may have noticed some subtle changes. We've added a bunch of stuff, and removed a few things. I'll go over these changes explicitly in just a moment, but first I'd like to explain they're being implemented

Why the Changes?

It takes a while to make any one video. I try to make them highly-polished in every capacity, but with just Felipe and myself pulling the strings at the moment, it's a bit challenging. Pile this on top of the fact that the show is becoming increasingly elaborate all the time, and you have a recipe for long dry spells between videos. It's hard to help production time, and it's been really hard to think of what we can do in the interim to show that we're still alive and at it, without cutting into my work schedule making the video drop rate even slower.

But, with the advent of streaming, I've found the perfect way to do this, and stumbled across a great way to give you guys a slew of new rewards!

(NOTE: if it's not listed, it didn't change; that means if you don't see an existing reward mentioned as removed here, assume it's still around)

Changes:

Now instead of waiting around for someone to send you your reward, you can click the link at the bottom of your reward tier at any time to collect available rewards! There are still some rewards you'll have to wait on, such as letters from Talebot, but by and large this makes things much speedier! Make sure to check out the link beneath your reward tier (or click here) for all the information about your rewards!
Patrons will no longer have their name in the scrolling background text of every video.
$1+ patrons will now receive spoiler-free sneak peeks, like art and progress updates.
$1+ patrons now get to vote on what we'll be doing during Free Time streams and Writing Group streams.
$5+ patrons will now receive spoilers, with direct snippets of script and rough drafts; we'll still keep some things a surprise for you though, don't worry!
$10+ patrons will get two preferential slots for Writing Group submissions, which means if you're a $10 patron, your submissions are more likely to be read on stream than anyone else's!
$25+ patrons will now be allowed to use the voice chat during Forge sessions! In the past, Artificers were selected during Forge sessions to speak for brief windows of time. Now, Forge sessions are becoming a lot more relaxed and conversational, more like a panel or a forum.
$50+ patrons will now be allowed to use the Forge channels in the Discord server to discuss their own ideas while there's no session happening! Like a little platform for brainstorming with our Patreon community!
$100+ patrons can now request a Forge session to be held on their behalf once per month, which means I'll schedule the session, announce it, and host it with them present to discuss their idea or project!
