Important Update (regarding OGL and patreon changes)
🕑 Added 2023-01-03 00:01:53 +0000 UTCJanuary 9th
Hey Everybody,
Just updating this post to say that even though I have updated the tiers and rewards, because of the current discourse and activity surrounding the OGL, I will be awaiting any official changes before re-publishing the rewards at those tiers. Until that point they will be available for download at the tier they have always been at.
I will make this month's 12 items, unless big legal changes happen that prevent me from doing so safely.
You can aid the cause for the OGL by signing the petition on https://www.opendnd.games/
Or use the hashtag #opendnd on any social media. Upvote posts about the OGL and leave comments on them. Any community noise is worth it!
Hoping to update you soon!

Hey Everyone,
As stated before last month, I will update the patreon and the rewards and tiers. The tiers will get an update soon this week, so you'll see a different coin/gemstone to your name. I'll probably update a bunch of rewards but upload them without a proper 'cover'. I'll add those later, as some of those take up a bit of time to illustrate/create but I don't want to keep the content from you.
However, as you may have also noticed in the online sphere. The Open Game License (or OGL for short) is 'changing'. This license allows me (and many others) to make and sell content for dungeons and dragons. However... Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro, are changing the terms. Rumor has it, more details will come out this month, but it isn't looking too good... If you're looking for more info, #openDnD is used across various social media platforms to broadcast the news about this.
The updates to all the rewards and new products will trickle through, but might take a little bit more time as I'm extremely anxious and demotivated by these developments and also need to figure out what to do with these changes for when they do come through.
Don't forget to download all the things while you still can, be it because of the changes to this patreon, or me having to stop doing this because of legal issues (let's not hope that happens...)
Hoping for the best...

I totally support waiting on this. The whole thing is frustrating and confusing for creators and players. If you end up switching to another system I'd definitely support that. Hopefully the pressure Wotc is seeing will prompt some changes, though!

Oy vey! Is this another one of those good ideas of corporations "Hey look we are missing revenues here!!!" without understanding they will never plug that hole and in fact just stomp their free advertising and community building? :(
