Requests and Patron Tiers
🕑 Added 2019-03-16 00:39:21 +0000 UTCHey everybody! Hope you're having a good pre-spring so far.
I've been totally blown away by how fast this Patron is growing. Each and every person that comes in is pretty exciting.
Having said that, the requests are also putting me in the weeds like crazy. And as a result, I'm taking too long to finish things or the quality is starting to dip. These are two things that I really don't want to see.
Moving forward, I probably need to make a change. So I thought I might turn to all of you to see what you think.
Here are a few methods I'm considering:
1) Simpler requests - everyone gets one "small" request each month (monster, magic item, or race), and then certain tiers get "big" requests (subclasses, classes, adventures).
2) Hand-picked requests and daily goodies - Requests are based on what I want to do (kinda like "tip jars"), but the type of content improves. Daily PDFs, big PDFs at the end of the month, physical products, etc.
3) Make it like the old system - One time requests when you join and a few tiers get monthly requests.
4) "Write what you want, Dave" - You just like my content and don't care if you get to make requests or not. The quality of the finished products go up (way more physical products), daily PDFs, etc.
5) Different tiers for different folks - Some people can get requests, some just get content.
6) Other - Let me know your idea in the comments.

Make a google form that you can submit requests through and have them not guaranteed to be made. You work on them as you feel inspired to do so.
Thanks for your great content and giving us options. I love the way you do this. Maybe a blend between write what you want and hand picked? Like "Hey, for the next quarter or so, I'll be working on --insert general idea here--. If you have some requests around that let me know and I'll see if I can work them in."
