First off don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
Secondly. I have been thinking about my Tiers a lot and wanted to get feedback and at the very least give a heads up about changes I am considering.
I would like to remove the uppermost tiers and reduce the structure to just 3 tiers.
Watcher remains the same and is for people who want to follow but don't care about actually getting the tokens.
Supporter/Muse will be combined into the Supporter role at the $5 level.
Collector will be the top Tier at $8 and is primarily intended for people who just want to support at a slightly higher level. There are no additional benefits.
I don't know if that seems weird to people or not. I will try to explain my thinking. I love making tokens and I have enjoyed the feedback interaction I have had in the posts and streams. I initially promised 5 tokens and some alternate versions. I have produced much more than that. Partly because I love making tokens and also because I want people to get their moneys worth. By reducing the higher end tiers I can feel ok if I can only make 10-12 tokens a month. I feel like that and the discount codes is worth a minimum of the $5 buy in.
If I make more than 10 tokens those will be bonus tokens and I am more than happy to provide those when I can, but I won't feel pressured to make more than that. And to be clear this is pressure I put on myself, no one has said I need to do extra, that's just the way I'm programmed.
Anyway, I'd love to hear opinions or ideas from any of you.

Sounds good to me. I'm also just happy to support you. I've been using your tokens in my games for years now <3.

I will be highest tier forever if I can, unless I'am R.I.P. or destitute. Salve do Brasil.
William Matthews
Sounds good to me, and understandable too.

Creature Codex is on hold. I've been waiting to hear from Kobold Press on our agreement.

Sorry I'm late to give feedback but I wanted to echo the person who said they are just happy to support you. That said, I've been really happy with what you've been doing, so 5-10 a month (wherever it lands) seems great to me. Unrelated question: Any plans to finish Creature Codex? I use tokens from that and the ToB series all the time.

Me too!

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond, and I really appreciate the support of those comments.

Apparently you can't change a tier if someone is in it. Which makes sense. So it looks like it isn't easy to move people around, even if it is a reduction in price for them.
Robert Cater
I think setting reasonable expectations for yourself is totally a great a idea. Pretty sure most of us support you because of how awesome your tokens are. I mean honestly would rather support and get less tokens then the alternative.

Hi Devin, I agree with everyone here, focus on your heath first! Just I wonder how Patreon work when you modify a tier, will everyone with the $10 tier be moved to the $8 tier automatically? Oh and sorry for the deleted comment above. Just a miss click.

Whatever goes better for you Devin. I feel we get enough for our buck already and I'm really enjoying the streams right now which makes it even a better deal.
Wizard
Less tokens per month is fine by me.
Tosari
Whatever works for you is fine with me!
Devin Night
Thanks. I'm doing fine. I'm pacing myself much better than in the past. I know that there will be months, probably this summer when I have a lot of other things going on and those months will be making the bare minimum. Right now though I'm rocking the plant/fungi energy.

Whatever you do at each tier is not as important as what you do to yourself. Please take care of yourself, pace yourself, avoid burnout. We would all like to see you continue to create content for many years.

This is totally fine with me. Constraints can help make better art, but not when they reach a point of adding too much pressure. I'm fully behind this, and also agree tossing in a Discord role might help some folks feel better about the $8 level, as it gives them recognition.
Aureleus
The extra benefit at the $8 tier could be a special Discord role/title.
Foundry Virtual Tabletop
I'm likely to stay at whatever your "top" tier is, because I want *all the things*! Happy to support whatever tier structure works best for you as a creator!
Devin Night
Thank you. It's appreciated.

I'm absolutely okay continuing to pay at the $8 level and getting whatever it is you produce. I'm here because I love the work you do, I had you do a custom token for one of my characters, I just wanted to support your work.
