Changes, changes…

Hi!

First, I want to thank you for all the support you have given me over the last year. This means a lot and really kept me going for that time.

Unfortunately, I start to feel a little bit swamped, so I need to change the amount of content I release. However, this is not an easy decision to make, but I want to combat burnout looming over me and hopefully have enough strength to launch Kickstarter in the near future.

Starting March, there will be changes to how Patreon tiers work and the amount of available content.

Apprentice Tier

There will be at least two encounters a month, available as PDF and Foundry and Encounter+, accompanied by maps and tokens that we use for encounters. There probably will be more encounters but the minimum is two.

Sculptor and Blacksmith Tiers

These tiers will have the biggest change.

The larger, premium book will be released once every two months (so if you are a patron in either of them, you will get it). Producing such large content is taxing, and making a book that size, with art, tons of maps takes a lot of time (especially as we are still primarily a two-person operation along with Ayatee, who helps me with art). The Temple of the Blood God, a new dungeon crawl that will be released soon, will be a book for February and March.

There will also be one exclusive oneshot every two months. It will remain exclusive for at least four months. After that, it may be expanded to a full larger content that you will get access to automatically (the first adventure expanded that way will be The Flooded Tower, which will be added to your licensing page as soon as it is released).

To make the transition easier, everyone who supported me in February now will get Side Quests – Frozen Peaks, a pack I never released as a Patreon perk (if you already have it and are missing something else, message me, and you will get that instead).

What lies ahead

I hope these changes will allow me to regain my focus and make the content even better, more fun, and even more polished.

Thanks again for all the support.

Encounters – Faeland Wilds – Book Reward Announcement – January 2021

Update: E+ and Foundry (5e version) modules are ready! 3.5e version of FVTT module will be available soon!

A little update first about this month’s big content – I planned something bigger to release, but because of health reasons I was not able to finish it (I was ill for more than half of the month, which limited my ability to work a lot – most of the content you’ve seen was scheduled). Because of that, I decided to work on something smaller – a small Faelands (or Feywild) themed encounter pack that I am still finishing up, but I am already adding to your libraries, so you will get it when it lands in a few days.

Next month I will resume the normal schedule and should also post the remaining encounters that did not get VTT releases (I am talking about you, The Devil’s Townsquare, and E+ version of Amber Dragon Lair). 

To ensure you won’t miss a beat, I will enable notifications when I update these posts.

Thanks for all your support and understanding!
