Thinking About Urbancrawls - Part 2: Applying the 'Crawl

Comments

Each part is a separate post. For planning your pledge: If I work to capacity, you can expect a paid post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week. (This has been the traditional schedule for "major" posts at the Alexandrian when there's been content to release.) For the Patreon, I will not exceed those three paid posts per week, so you can expect a maximum of 12-13 paid posts per month. As I've mentioned elsewhere, these paid posts will still be surrounded by the usual penumbra of Thoughts of the Day, Check This Out, and (until they run out) archive postings of old RPGNet Reviews. I'm hoping that a typical month at the Alexandrian going forward will have 20-30 total posts, of which 12-13 will be paid. The reasoning behind splitting the larger posts into multiple parts like this actually dates all the way back to D&D: Calibrating Your Expectations back in 2007. That was a monster of an essay and I really enjoyed doing it, but I was faced with a dilemma where it was really difficult to justify writing a 6,000 or 15,000 word essay when I could right four to twelve 1,200 to 1,500 word essays and keep the Alexandrian a lot more active.

Just a point of clarification as to how this patreon thing works in conjunction with longer series like this: is each part in a series a separate "blog post" for funding purposes, or is the whole series (which was posted as a single item under early access) a "blog post?" Just curious - my contributor cap isn't moving one way or the other because of it.
