Important: Our Patreon Tier Changes (April)

Hey all!

Big announcement about the changes we're making from April regarding our Patreon, we've eluded to this a few times over the last few weeks, and now we have everything in place that we can make an official announcement.

Everyone needs to watch this video.

I tried to keep it as short as possible, but there's a lot to talk about. Making big changes like this are never easy, particularly when folks disable a lot of the notifications from Patreon, we'll do our best to get the message out to you all.

 If you aren't in a place to watch then below are the more abridged version of the changes. Check at the bottom of the post for information about your current back catalogue:

Adding New Tier: Starter Bundle $5 USD
This will be our new entry level Patreon tier and the replacement for the Mini Bundle, a cheaper options, with some mixed around content.

Key Points

Removing Current Tier: Mini Bundle $8.33 USD
This tier will get the benefits of the Starter Bundle (as we feel it is of an equivalent value to the content in the current Mini Bundle), please switch to the Starter Bundle tier at the end of the month when it is released or for only $1.67 more switch to the Essentials Bundle and get a lot more content each month.

Adding New Tier: Essential Bundle ($10)

This will be a cheaper version of the current Essentials Bundle tier, you will need to manually switch to this tier to make this saving. We cannot change active tier prices, if you remain in the current Essentials Bundle $12.50 then you will get the same content as the new tier, but you will not be making the same saving (if you wish to stay in this tier then feel free!)

Key Points

Updated Tier: All The Things™ ($16.67)

Some perks from this tier have been added into other tiers, with new perks added into this one

Key Points

CURRENT BACK CATALOGUE

At the end of the month the links to the MyAirBridge folders that you currently have access to will be removed from Patreon, but they will remain active. We will send you a link over Patreon Private message so that you retain access to any back catalogue that you currently have access to (the same MyAirBridge link available from your tiers Master List) and the password will not change. However we recommend that at some point you consider downloading and storing these files in the event that we have to change our cloud service.

As a recap for what the back catalogue changes will be from April:

Mini Bundle - Retired Tier
Starter Bundle - No back catalogue, static 30 map Welcome Pack
Essentials Bundle - Dynamic 6 months of back catalogue, oldest theme remove each month as new one is added
All The Things™ - Constant access to the full map back catalogue

We know that's a lot to take in, but we think these are some major positive steps for everyone and the Patreon in general, providing you all a lot more content each month to your respective tiers!

If you have any questions or comments after reading the post/watching the video then please, let us know!

Keep rollin' those 20s folks!

Unfortunately it isn't possible for Premium Packages hosted by Foundry to be integrated directly with Forge (i.e. using their storage), this is very much due to the way Foundry VTT works and not a decision made by us. Our packs can still be installed via Forge, but they will no longer be for sale on there (as Premium Packages have an exclusivity clause that they can't be sold anywhere that doesn't use their authentication system, which Forge doesn't).

I've been a supporter at the all things tier for a while. The extra perks (especially the full access to the back catalog and assets look really nice. I also like the foundry integration. Some of your products have Forge integration mostly ones I purchased separately. Are there any plans to do that (mainly because it doesn't use our Forge memory if its one of their standard modules. Again not a deal breaker just curious.

William Bossier

This is an exciting change! Thanks for the update.

Emily Thomas

Not with this change, not immediately, but yes there is something we want to do for those who have stuck around with us for this long.

Alex Hitchen

Is the all the things tier for the first 100 patrons changing in any way?

Sebastian Will

That's because nothing has changed yet. This is all happening in April :D

The Packs on the forge are still saying I need to purchase them through the bazaar. I can't install with jsons either it just tells me to go to the bazaar

I believe it just works the same way as any module. Any "Premium" content on Foundry is instantly pulled/searchable on Forge, if you try to install it then it just checks to make sure you are a Patron as it would if you were trying to install it directly through Foundry. Our map pack content will no longer be for sale through directly through Forge's bazaar, as there is an exclusivity element when you sign up to Foundry's patreon integration, but they will still be available to access.

Alex Hitchen

how do i access the maps on the forge with the new Patreon collaberation

For me it's Moulinette integration. Wicked

Taylor

Us too, I think whether you like to just make your own maps with assets, want to sell content, or want more accessibility to our Foundry content, these changes should tick the boxes for a lot of people.

Alex Hitchen

As a long-time "All The Things" supporter I'm really excited for these updates!
