INTRODUCING... THE DM'S SECRET WEAPON! A New Monthly Magazine!
So, what's happening?
After getting feedback from the community (thanks to all of you who messaged), overwhelmingly I heard two things.
1. More Patreon Games!
2. The Adventures are great fun to play with me DMing, but very daunting and dense which makes it hard to run for friends.
Another piece of feedback that I've taken to heart was that at the moment, delivering content in a series of disconnected PDFs made it hard to digest, store and actually use in games.
So, to solve this, I've decided to compound all content into a monthly magazine. The DM's Secret Weapon will be a monthly drop with Maps, New Items, New Subclasses, New Monsters, Non-Combat Puzzles and Riddles to add to games, and a lighter, easier to run adventure for begginers and experienced DMs alike!
What does this change in terms of rewards?
In terms of actual content, not all that much! Red and Gold Dragon Tier Patrons will recieve the DMs Secret Weapon in full every month. Gold Dragons will also play in a custom game with me DMing every month as usual!
Behir Patrons will recieve a portion of the DM's Secret Weapon, called "The Adventurer's Pack", which will include similar to what that tier grants already: Ways to expand player's options and opportunities in-game. This means Behir's get maps with limited variations, a new subclass/subrace (or both) and a package of spells/feats/items.
The Behir tier won't recieve the rest of the content in magazine, including the adventure, bonus maps and extended map variations, puzzles/riddles/non-combat challenges, and other content more focused on DMing options and opportunities.
In short, every tier is getting basically the same stuff, but delivered in a fancy package, with some extra stuff bundled into the Red and Gold Dragon Tiers!
When is it out?
This month will be exactly the same as past months! Usual content, usual delivery system. The DM's Secret Weapon will launch at the end of February. Across this month, I'll update the rewards tiers and the description to more concisely and clearly explain exactly what people can expect from each tier for new visitors to the Patreon.
Anything else I should know?
Only that your support has been amazing this past 7 months, I'm really grateful for you being here, and can't wait to get in more games with y'all in 2022!
Remember to get your builds to me for the Level 20 Battles by next Thursday, and for Gold Dragons, I'll drop information on this month's game next week, but it's a mystery session with some cool riddles/puzzles and fights that will challenge you to think creatively in combat!
Thanks so much! I really hope this new format for delivering content will make it easier and more exciting to be a part of this community and make use of everything we're making!
