[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9608895, member: 6879661"] I find Patreon fascinating as I’ve seen it work from both sides. As a consumer I know I’m directly putting money in the pocket of the creators I like best. In my case I’m supporting 5 patreons between £3-8 a month each. [B]Heroic Maps[/B] and [B]Seafoot Games [/B]because they make the most beautiful maps I’ve seen online and I want to see them make more.[B] Tyche Maps[/B] because he’s pretty much mapped all of Waterdeep and Undermountain. [B]Techlanders [/B]because it’s really hard to find futuristic assets and I’m building up a library. Finally recently [B]James’ RPG art[/B] because I’m interested in testing some animated maps. My reasons for supporting them varies but usually stems from really liking what they do and how anting them to do more. That usually starts from the Patreon granting full access to a library of resources rather than only allowing the live releases. The former gets a person hooked and engaged and while it’s possible to raid that trove and cancel, I find that I just don’t want to do that because the quality makes me want to see more. At best guess some of these Patreons are taking £10k+ a month from patreon alone. Supplementing that with DriveThruRPG sales and direct sales through their own sites. The first three I’ve been supporting for 3+ years. Others have come and gone for between 3-6 months but I often go back to some like [B]Neutral Party[/B] and [B]Afternoon maps[/B] to see what has changed. I’ll typically review every 3-6 months to see if I’m getting my money worth and if there is anything I would like to switch to. I try and keep it under £30 a month too. On the flip side a member of one of my gaming groups managed to make a decent sum £1k-£2k a month for a comic series he ran through Patreon and supplemented directly through various comic forums. Not a fortune but substantially more than he was getting through commissions or if he had published in print. In short. I love Patreon and think it’s a great meeting point. [/QUOTE]
