Happy Monday! I have a lot to update, so please see below.

First, I've finished this month's exclusive playmat, which is perfect for the current focus on the Phyrexians in the Magic storyline:

To get your copy, make sure you're at the playmat tier for your shipping location before the end of this month.

Next, a lot of you have been asking when my old Alter Sleeve designs would be available again. Well, I'm happy to share that they're now all available at https://www.altersleeves.com/content-creator/cardboardcrack/. In addition, use the code cardboardcrack10 at checkout to get 10% off your order.

Finally, I'm sorry to say that I'm taking a break from offering new exclusive Alter Sleeves for at least the next couple of months. Even though I've had a super fun time designing and sharing the sleeves, as many of you know the interface and customer service associated with the sleeves has not been great (to put it lightly). I've been spending more and more of my time fielding emails on these sleeves and filing complaints to Alter Sleeves. So I'm going to give Alter Sleeves some space to work on (yet another) site update. Hopefully, that all goes smoothly for them, and then we can begin offering new exclusive sleeves in the future. In the meantime, I totally understand if you want to update your pledge on Patreon while you're not getting the sleeves. But I'm anticipating that this is going to be a big financial hit to me, so if you could just maybe downgrade your pledge rather than canceling it completely, it would mean a lot to me!

Thanks again for joining me on Patreon and helping make it possible for me to draw and share these comics that I love to do. Hope you have a good week!

No worries on the break from Alter Sleeves. According to my numerous interactions with support, your sleeves have discovered more issues than any other creator. Just bad luck I guess. I look forward to when it's working smoothly and you can create without stress once again <3 I also *love* this playmat! So many people get tattoos in other languages because it's pretty or cool or whatever, without really thinking about what it means. This bit is hilarious hehe. Keep up the stellar content!!

Thanks for the positive words. Yes, from all accounts, my sleeves have been some of the most popular both from the Patreon side and people wanting to order additional copies. The current website was just not equipped to deal with this level of demand.

Is there any way to obtain older playmats? The InkedGaming link from your site is borked.

Cardboard Crack

I moved away from selling playmats on the Inked Gaming website. The profits I get there are barely anything. Instead, a couple times a year I've been offering people a choice of what playmat they want as their Patreon reward (including the previous two months but not this month). Hope this makes sense!

Well... Alter Sleeves needs to get their game together. I've yet to receive my Brainstorm Sleeve + Doom Blade Sleeve, nor the compensation sleeves (due to damage) for the month before that. And they haven't replied my followup email sent 7 days ago.

Cardboard Crack

Yup! I'm really sorry about this, especially since you've been so helpful in helping them with their website. I'll ping them again about this.

There's still lots of issues on their website too. The email I use on Patreon is not the same one as the one I use on Alter Sleeves. Once I changed it to match Patreon, all their invoices/emails still go to the previous non-matching email address. The January code (this month) doesn't show up as unclaimed rewards. Their website still displays 2 or more invoices for every order. They sent out 2 tracking numbers for me one in December that has no movement, and one in January that actually moved a few days ago, so I don't know if they forgot to mail it out the December or something.

Cardboard Crack

Just to be clear, for the Kiki-Jiki sleeve there is no code. There's just a link in the email and you cannot get more than one copy. But I agree this is super confusing after getting everyone used to the previous way to redeeming the sleeves. Even worse, Alter Sleeves wanted to institute yet another way of redeeming sleeves this month. That's when I said, just get your shit together and come back to me when everything is working smoothly.

Xinhuan

Oh, it is not a code for the Kiki-Jiki sleeves? That's confusing indeed. I haven't tried to redeem it yet given my circumstances. Perhaps they realized they shouldn't be giving out codes every month that stack -10% each... I told them I could stack 2 codes to get -15% off... (eg $102 instead of $120 if there were 20 sleeves in the cart). I didn't try to stack 3 or 4 or even 10 codes but I warned them about it.

I have had a financial setback and was looking to dial back as well. I will be okay long before the reward returns. Still love your work.

Xinhuan

I've received an email reply now, they clarified the December production got blocked to a Customs issue when sending from US to Dutch... so they reprinted the sleeves and resent it in January. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've really enjoyed being on your patron. You're very engaged with your community here. IDK if it's just me, but I really love the engaging aspect of being part of something like this. It has been well worth it to me. I've had some of the sleeve issues. I don't recall if I got the last email or not. I haven't particularly looked for it either. I'm honestly not that concerned. Supporting you has been the part I've really enjoyed throughout all of this. I will probably be dropping to the lower level, but I'll still be here. I look forward to when alter sleeves happen again and are more smoothed out. I cherish the squirrel sleeves. They 100% make my squirrel commander deck all the more special. Thank you for making this an awesome community, with great posts.

I don't mind much about the sleeves it was a good plus but the reason I'm here so no worries keep the work going!

I hope the Alter Sleeves come back some day, I’ve loved blinging out my cube with Cardboard Crack.
