The Big Patreon Remodel

Hi everyone,
Thank you all so gosh-darn much. When I started this Patreon two years ago, I didn't know what it would be like or what we'd be doing. Some of you have been here with be since the beginning. 
When I set up the Patreon originally, I wasn't expecting much - I didn't have much of an internet following, and I just expected some side cash while I navigated college. But a lot has changed since 2018, and for the first time in my life financial stability (even if it's not enormous) feels achievable. My work on Itch and my presence on Twitter has garnered me a real audience for my work, and none of that would've been possible without all of you. 
You've been here since I launched Sleepaway, only a little more than a year ago. It was because of your support that I was able to take that enormous leap, and now I'm going to need to take another one. My frantic rate of creation on Itch isn't feasible any longer. I'm facing the reality that if I want to be more than a flash in the pan, and if I'm going to start thinking about what it means to build a future for myself and the people in my life who can't support necessarily themselves alone, I'm going to need to change how I survive in the RPG ecosystem. And that's where all of you come in.
While I plan to keep all my games up on Itch, I'm shifting my new releases mainly onto Patreon, saving Itch for the occasional larger release. My upcoming projects, that half a year ago I would've posted on Itch, are now going to be accessible to all of you at certain tiers. Additionally, I'll be posting more on here instead of Twitter or Itch, sharing more first looks, works in progress, threads, and blog posts. Finally I've also added a Discord server (which a bunch of you might've just gotten dropped into, oops!) You can check it out if Patreon is linked to your Discord account, and I'll be posting sketches of ideas, holding brainstorming sessions, playtests and more all over there. 
Ultimately, this isn't going to change how you engage with my work - besides promising you more content and more excitement. However, be sure to check out some of the new options at higher tiers, and switching over to those tiers might be the thing that makes this whole project feasible. 
Once the Wanderhome Kickstarter is underway (2 weeks to go!) I'll start putting some games I've got sitting in the wings (Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast, [untitled 1], Outsaglig, etc.) up here, and continue the renovation.
I should note though, I still cannot promise monthly content. Please don't think of this as a subscription service, but instead as a way for you to pay my salary and keep me afloat while I create the games that will change your world. I'll try my best to make a post a month keeping you all updated, but we have to see what the future is like.
Tl;dr: You're going to be getting more content and materials, and there's a Discord server you can join! If you want to support this Patreon even more, continue doing the following:
