New Tiers + Slight Tier Changes Starting September 1st
Added 2024-08-12 20:51:30 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
I'm gonna do my best to be brief and go right to the point: Starting in September we will introduce a new tier for physical merchandise to this Patreon, and change some things to make the Patreon experience better for everyone!
Additionally, because of the Patreon changes to the billing system, we're moving away from the two term reward system, since it wasn't useful anymore anyway, a more detailed explanation about that is below.
Here are the tiers for the future:
Tier 1 - $1: Will be unpublished, but the rewards for you will stay UNCHANGED. You will receive the same benefits you did before.
New Tier 1 - $3: Same as the old $1 Tier. This change simply has to happen, because by now with all the fees, taxes etc. $1 subscribers pay a lot of money that we don't ever see. We keep between 20-40 cents on the dollar, depending on exchange rates. It's just not feasible to have new people join in the $1 tier anymore!
This is a purely economical, survival decision.
Tier 2 - $5: Will now get all basic NSFW versions of all drawings I make, otherwise no changes
Tier 3 - $10: This will be the new exclusive tier for all variants, all potential mini comics, clips, animations etc. This is basically the everything tier, in terms of NSFW and digital rewards!
Tier 4 - $15: Unchanged
NEW TIER 5 - $25: Merchandise Tier! Will include all digital rewards from all tiers before this one. Additionally, for every calendar month (regardless of when in the month you sub), you will receive one merchandise pack containing:
One A4 Print on special paper
One A5 Print on matte printing paper
One Varying Merchandise Product (Proxy cards, postcards, stickers, bookmarks etc.)
THIS TIER WILL BE LIMITED TO 50 PEOPLE FOR THE START. No clue if we can fill that, and if the interest is higher we can always move up slowly, but or starters we will put a lid on it.
Tier 5 - $30: Will be unpublished to avoid confusion!
Basically, this is supposed to stabilize and simplify structures a bit and add new rewards. The two term system we had is being made harder by Patreons billing changes, but realistically I've been doing either 2 or mostly even more NSFW drawing anyway. Calling it two terms a month was already not really fair towards me, as I was doing more like 4-5 terms a month, other than during my vacation.
To give you an overview, this year alone we had:
January: 4 NSFW Terms
February: 7 NSFW Terms
March: 4 NSFW Terms
April: 3 NSFW Terms
May: 7 NSFW Terms
June: 2 NSFW Terms
July: 2 NSFW Terms
August: 3 NSFW Terms, and it's only the 12th
So I HOPE that all of you feel like you're getting good content haha!
Moving this around will also help fixing two of the most common questions and issues we run into with this Patreon: People not knowing what tier to sub in to get specific images, and people not knowing what image is what tier.
Everything else will stay the same. We will still do character suggestions, we will still do polls, we will still talk about MTG endless amounts!
You'll see the changes go live over the next 2 weeks, while we're approaching September, with the Merchandise tier going live when the billing cycle for September starts! Since it's limited amounts of slots, we will ping everyone about it once we're launching it again, with some time to prepare, in case you want to snag a slot!
