Patreon’s policies recently changed and we were forced to switch our Patreon account to a monthly subscription. This happened because Apple forcibly applied changes to many apps, including Patreon. This event has resulted in a 35-40% cut to our earnings. There is nothing we could have done to prevent this change. It is just how things are.
This places my brother and me in a tight spot, financially. We produce TTRPG content for a living. Ultimately, it is what pays our bills. Our two households are impacted by this development. We have no certainty that we will be able to continue working full-time for Elven Tower Adventures or even make ends meet if our situation does not change.
Despite the financial cut, the new subscription model on Patreon is more transparent and has a lot of upsides for both supporters and creators. We have faith that this is but a momentary setback and we are willing to put in the work. We are overhauling Dungeon Vault Magazine to try new things, both for D&D 5e and Shadowdark RPG, and just recently started a Dungeon-Meshi-inspired adventure series. They say one of the hardest things in life is asking for help. We have never done something like this. I hope this message does not come across as blunt or disrespectful. We do not wish to bother anyone.
If you wish to help us, join our Patreon, consider purchasing our stuff, and SHARE this message.
