Updates: Expanded Toolbox coming soon, Stream an hour later today, and Patreon Tiers Tweaked.
Added 2020-04-24 16:07:24 +0000 UTCJust wanted to update a few things.
- The Expanded Toolbox was supposed to come this week, and that's still the plan, but I'm downcasting the forecast from a "probably" to a "maybe", and probably this weekend :)
Might be delayed to early next week to include the Runesmith (as per below).
- The stream will be at 10pm GMT/6pm EDT/3pm PDT today. We'll try out that schedule, and run for about 1.5-2 hours. This is a result of this poll here, so it doesn't work better for you there... vote! It's neck and neck right now, but a few people would rather see it an hour later, so I'm going to respect the results and try that out.
Today will probably be the last stream for the Runesmith, after which I will polish it up and add it to the Expanded Toolbox. I'll put up a vote after the stream for what to work on next Warlord or Psion subclass? PHB Class subclass? Some feats? Crafting is probably too complicated to get much done on stream, but we can always work on some common items or other craftables for that document.
Stream is here: https://www.twitch.tv/kibblestasty

We are really close to affiliate now! Now's the time to drop by if you want to help us get there, I think we might get it today based on the stream, we'll see.
- Patreon tiers have been adjusted, clarified, and added.
To explain on that last one; I've clarified the benefits each tier receives a little bit. If there's any questions, concerns, or clarifications, please ask and I'll make sure we are good.
I've added a new tier Sage for smaller requests (single spells, upgrades, talents, etc). I've also upped the Noble tier but anyone that was at the old version is still at it for the original price, you are not affected if you are already at it, and can stay at it for as long as you want. I've done this to better reflect the effort it often takes; when I first wrote it I don't think I really expected anyone to support at level, yet for the existence of the patreon it has always been sold out. People have asked for me to open new slots or let them know when it's open, and I did where I could, but ultimately that just wasn't really feasible most of the time. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully this is understandable.
I'm also testing out a new patreon feature for benefit tracking for the Sage & new Noble tier, so we'll see how that goes.
Please do not feel obligated to back at any tier, particularly during these times that I know are hard for many people. You being here and happy to see content is really and truly what I value the most; I want people to have to fun playing D&D content. The tier adjustments are just to better reflect and balance what I can do, as I didn't feel I could reasonable open more of the previous Noble slots, but I feel that this way there's a cheaper option and I'll be able to keep some open slots at the top end for people that really want stuff made.
I will still always take feedback, suggestions, and thoughts the normal way, so don't feel these are the only ways to bring your ideas to life, just the easiest and most reliable way.
