Helpful Human Tier Update! (no changes for existing patrons)
Added 2020-05-26 06:19:01 +0000 UTCLittle update! Nothing world-shattering, but I thought you should know all the same so it doesn't take you by surprise.
The $1.00 tier has been replaced with an identical $2.00 tier.
BUT, anyone currently at the $1.00 tier will be able to stay there no matter what. This only affects new patrons coming to the community in the future.
Economic tom-foolery, you may say! But it is not so.
The reason I've had to make this change is because, like any site of this nature, Patreon's got to pay processing fees in order to transfer your pledges to the Foundry. The upshot of this is that $1.00 pledges actually only amount to something in the ballpark of $0.60 for the Foundry. It feels wrong to have a tier for which only ~60% of the contribution actually makes it through to the creator.

SO!
That's about it. Any amount the community contributes is amazing and deeply appreciated, but this way the Helpful Human tier gets to be perhaps a little more helpful than we had thought prior.
Of course, none of you should feel pressured to update your pledge, but if you'd like to make sure your whole dollar is getting through to the Foundry, feel free! No matter where you are, we love and appreciate you.
Thanks for being such an amazing community, and making TF possible. <3
