Trade Established
"The last trek into this wasteland! Trail marked by our guide who agrees that the pay better be worth all this trouble. Local tribe says we can only remove a small sample of the tree's bark. I won't risk upsetting them. At least we established trade. Rue"- See all the postcards sent from Rue the Cartographer by clicking here & signing in to my website's Patron-Only section.

This Year's Ornament
Sadly, we did not get this done in time for this year. We had a bit of a setback with my computer dying, waiting for the new one, and all the time to transfer my files & programs...I got behind a good 2-3 weeks and just haven't recovered yet. Thus why we're only starting to work on them now. So.... we're still going to have ornaments in the shop but it won't be until the new year.However, that does mean that we'll be carrying ...

Patreon Changes
Over the years of me being on this site, I've seen so many changes. Some good, some bad, some really terrible, some...never came. For years, us creators have been begging them to make an actual menu, to allow on-site video hosting, to give our patrons the option of when to be billed, etc. The site has been around since 2013. I joined 2014.Finally....er....supposedly, Patreon listened and is making changes. What are they and what does that mea...
New way to pledge, same great perks!
