Wonderful Things Ahead

Greetings, dearest patrons! We have some exciting announcements.

Let's get the biggest one out of the way first.

A new, $3 tier is coming in October

To put it plainly, we want to lower the bar to entry so more people can get to our content. Starting in October, the new Wondering tier will get access to the 20-item welcome pack and whatever the current month's items are. This will not affect the three higher tiers.

Below are the tier distinctions.

To start addressing the other questions this chart might bring up, let's talk about "3-Month Access."

Also beginning in October, realms will begin rotating out of open access after three months. For example, Riftwild will rotate out of general access in October. Loomside will rotate out in November, and so on.

Which segues to the next big thing.

The Travel Log - An ever-growing archive for Wayward Wonders

AGAIN starting in October (who would've guessed?), the Wonderfullest tier will have access to the Travel Log, where all content will go after 3 months. So in the year 3024, when Wayward Wonders has outlived all of us except for Dr. Nomples, the Travel Log will have everything dating back to Riftwild.

We know this might seem counterintuitive to raising accessibility to our content like we mentioned earlier in this post, but we also have to keep the sustainability of Wayward Wonders in mind. We love where it's been, and we're super excited for where it's going. We want to continue working with the amazing artists that help Wayward Wonders grow, and this is part of the strategy that makes that happen.

And if you're wanting to plan ahead for those subscriptions moving forward...

Discounted annual subscriptions are coming!

At last! You will be able to purchase a full year's subscription at a discounted price at any tier. Patreon needed several months of proof that we're real people—neither menacing mimics nor deceitful dopplers—before we were able to offer this. Annual subscriptions will offer a 15% discount.

Speaking of discounts...

Monthly Merch Discounts

Wonderfuller subscribers will start getting access to a monthly 10% discount code every month, usable on any of our merchandise other than drinking vessels and brewing equipment!

Wonderfullest subscribers will also start getting a one-use code that works the same, but for 20% off merchandise other than drinking vessels and brewing equipment.

Lastly, we have one more new boon for Wonderfullest subscribers.

Priority Queue for Wonderfullest Subscribers

For those of you who didn't know, we have monthly coffee and tea features on our main site, called Treasured Realm and Fabled Foliage respectively. Check them out. They're epic.

For Wonderfullest ($12) subscribers, we want to make sure they're at the front of that subscription line if they so choose. This means if you're subscribed to one or both of those on a monthly basis in addition to the Wonderfullest tier, we'll be getting your orders out before anyone else's, with the first numbered cards in those limited series. This is specific to subscriptions to those two features that go through on the first of each month. Other product subscriptions will not apply unless they are shipped along with the monthly features.

We know there are a lot of moving parts here and a delightfully daunting number of things to come, so please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have.

As for the way more foreseeable future of the next week and a half, you'll see Nisk's character set drop next week with items, a spell, and a stat block, one last small bonus pack you'll have to stay tuned for, and then we will cordially invite you all to Latehaven in October.

'Til Tuesday, drink well and roll better.
