[QUOTE="Matthan, post: 7721089, member: 20005"] Patreon is the right system. It's essentially a tiny magazine. A kickstarter to compile the material annually or every two years makes sense. The Patreon provides a reliable revenue stream to produce a wide variety of material that would not necessarily be made otherwise. My concern is that the goal of publishing each pamphlet entry is a money sink. Kobold Press and Mr. Bauer have a love of magazines like classic Dragon and Dungeon. I understand that love and respect it. I respect what they accomplished with Kobold Quarterly several years back. I just see the majority of the Patreon goals focused on printing these pamphlets and I feel like it's an error driven by the nostalgia of those magazines. Again, I would point to EN5ider. Every one of their funding goals dealt with the creation of material by either providing more of it or providing a better pay scale for its creators. I fully believe that Kobold Press has ran their numbers to make sure each publishing/shipping schedule is sustainable. I just think it's wasted funds. I recognize the train has left the station on this, but I would prefer more material (articles, art, maps, etc...) created than published pamphlets shipped around the world. Let the publishing happen through a compilation Kickstarter. I flogged this dead horse enough. I do wish them success and count myself a patron. I look forward to reading the PDFs. [/QUOTE]
