Reward Tier Changes!
🕑 Added 2022-06-01 15:01:03 +0000 UTCThe Explanation
Hey friends! I really didn't want to be making major reward tier changes this soon after the February update. Unfortunately, I'm making these changes based on my own mental health. I overestimated my capacity, and I hate not delivering on what I've promised you all. Starting July 1, I will be:
- eliminating rewards I can't consistently fulfill
- moving rewards between tiers to make sure you're still getting great stuff
My expectation is that some of you will decrease your pledge, and please do not apologize for that! It's really important to me that Patreon serve me and serve you — so use it in the way that makes sense for you!
The Changes
Club Di is becoming digital only.
Stay tuned for a clearance sale on physical products this month, because they're going away! Club Di will now only offer NPC PDFs from the Di-ety tier's previous months, as well as past digital works like A Cold and Hungry Sea and Bard Behind Bars. This also means that the only way to get pins and stickers moving forward will be to join the Di-ety tier.
Some rewards are getting cheaper.
I'm moving some rewards down in tier! Early access to YouTube videos will now be a Di-sciple ($5) reward. Monthly PDFs will now be a Di-votee ($15) reward.
No more bonus livestreams (Di-sciple) or commentary (Di-votee).
I may still do additional livestreams for all Patrons, but there will be no set number per month. I've been doing unscripted commentary videos for a year and a half, and they've been a lot of fun, but they are one of the things I fall behind on most often, so they're going away, too.
No more Di's Nuts.
The "Di's Nuts" tier was fun and silly, but I cannot in good conscience keep it going when I don't have the capacity to introduce new merch designs for it.
What You Need to Do
You don't have to do anything! You can stay right where you're at. Here are your other options:
- If you want to switch tiers, please do that before the end of June. You can do that by visiting the My Pledges page and clicking "edit." You will not lose access to any of your current tier rewards until July. (Same thing if you want to cancel your pledge.)
- If you want to remain in Di's Nuts, you may, but you will not receive any Di's Nuts specific rewards. I would encourage you to switch to a lower tier, and you can customize your pledge amount if for any reason you want to pledge more than that tier's listed price.
- If you have an annual membership but you still want to switch tiers or cancel your pledge, send me a DM. Technically you can only increase an annual pledge, but we can work it out case-by-case if these updates have changed things for you.
If you have any more questions, feel free to comment!

I'm salty over the elimination of di's nuts. ;) Seriously, though, you're doing awesome and you definately deserve to not be worked into the ground!

The mp3s will remain, but unfortunately music has really had to take a backseat for me, so I don't know how often I'll be coming out with new music these days — probably quarterly more so than monthly, if I had to guess!

As long as the MP3s are still here, no change needed from me
