Happy New Year
🕑 Added 2023-12-31 19:16:12 +0000 UTCTL;DR: For now, the Patreon Tiers are your choice. Support me as much or as little as you'd like, the rewards will be the same for everyone. Please support as much as you feel comfortable. Obviously I would love generosity but I make YouTube videos. I'm not giving you food water or shelter. Take care of yourself, then take care of your favorite YouTuber.
Hey ya'll. We're in a weird place here. D&D videos started 2023 about 3 years into a downward slope, and I thought maybe cutting the posting schedule a bit could help. It didn't. The slope turned into a cliff, and now they're basically on life support through the grace of Patron commissions and the good folks at Factor. (Idk why Factor wants to be on the D&D channel instead of the Elden Ring channel, but that's what they want, so good news: Factor is keeping the show alive for 2024.)
That's the bad news. The Good news (Fucking great news honestly) is that the Elden Ring channel did FANTASTIC last year. It performed well enough to basically take care of Cory and make sure he can stay on as a full time editor instead of part time. Potential seems there for it to grow more in 2024, and that should be nice.
But most of you are not here from Elden Ring, you're here from D&D. And the Patreon has been dropping faster than the Elden Ring is growing. Which makes sense, I sold Donuts, then said "now we make Pizza" and some people liked the donuts, there's no blame or anger coming from me on that. Also: Elden Ring is just kind of harder to make Patreon content for than D&D was. I think we've hit the point where the Patreon has stablized, (it actually grew last month for the first time this year ((by like 3 dollars, but I'll take that)) and that's good news as I figure out how make more Elden Ring Rewards.
ALL THAT BEING SAID while we figure out how to transition this stuff; all the patreon rewards are equalized. Everyone gets discord access, poll-voting power, bonus videos, character sheets and homebrew stuff. If you only have a dollar, that's cool, I'll take a dollar. But if you can PLEASE consider staying at/going to a higher tier. Patreon and the Ad Reads are the only way I'm able to make ends meet, and sometimes the ends still don't meet. Take care of yourself first, but if you can, please help me out a bit as much as you feel comfortable.
Thank you all so much for supporting me as much as you have, you are the reason I can make all the videos I do. Happy new year, I've got some bit stuff planned for 2024 and hopefully it's a better year for us here.

Don't have much interest in the Elden Ring videos, though I enjoyed the D&D builds of Elden Ring characters. Hoping this year brings more D&D content. Have greatly enjoyed your homebrew especially which is why I backed, aside from enjoying your character build vids

As much as I miss the regular D&D content, I do like the Eldin Ring builds a lot and I haven't even played the game. I just think you and Cory do a great job putting the videos together. (But I do hope Kingdom Hearts comes back)

I genuinely hope things pick up for your DND material in 2024. I'm looking to take some of the builds you made and apply crazy 18 18 16 16 13 stats with 8/9 free predetermined feats assigned to them alternately regardless of improvement and because they improve them, not necessarily to play with other people, but to run through solo content.
