For months I've been trying to find something to put at $15 that I'm happy with. While I enjoy the idea of a writing tier, I feel it hasn't succeeded. This is, at least partially, because this is a Patreon based around videos... Written stories just don't quite have the right audience. I do still want, and plan, to make writing available (in particular my Wandering Combine story), but in the meantime I'd like to change some things with this Patreon.

First Big Change

The Touka Tier, the current $15 reward tier, will be removed entirely. I love the idea, I love the art, but it's not a good fit right now.

Second Big Change

The Jeffery Tier, currently at $25, will be reduced to be the new $15 reward. Anyone already at $15 will be entitled to the reward which offers a monthly gaming session with me: at least an hour, but these sessions often overrun. Ever tried finishing a game of Civilization in a single hour?

If anyone at $15 doesn't want to make use of this reward, that's perfectly fine too. I understand if it's not what some people may want, either because they're not big gamers or they wanted to show support for my writing, and I hold no ill will if this means you'll reduce your pledge.

I'll also be reducing the number of slots for this tier...at least for now. Along with everything else changing, I want to make sure I can keep up with whatever is needed. The slots will be going from 15 to 5, but may increase again when I have a better handle on things and depending on interest in the tier.

Third Big Change

The Tabby Tier, currently at $50, will be the new $25. Like the Jeffery Tier, anyone already at $25 will be entitled to the Tabby Tier reward; a monthly private chat with me. Also like the gaming session, this chat (voice/video available at the patron's choice) is for at least an hour, but often goes on longer. This tier also includes the gaming session.

If anyone doesn't want to make use of the private chat, that's perfectly fine. Similarly, if this isn't something current $25 patrons want, I understand if they choose to reduce their pledge.

A new rule I'm adding, though, is an age restriction. It will be my policy starting now that a patron must be aged 16 or older to make use of the Private Chat reward. I hope that this isn't a problem for anyone.
