Goodness gracious!

Welcome (or welcome back) to Club PA! If you're reading this, you're either one of our first patrons or you're visiting us from the future and you read really far back. Good job, either way. I hope things are ok in the future. I guess you still have internet, that's something.

If you're in the present, stay tuned over the next few days as we upload a ton of existing Club PA content, some new sketchbook content and start prepping for our first members-only streams. We may also do a post-mortem about the switch over, if that's something that you would find interesting. Let us know.

In fact, let us know generally how you're finding the new experience, or if you find any bugs, hiccups or unexpected nonsense. You can either comment here or send an email to pgroome@penny-arcade.com, our enscorcelled demon-brigand is bound by foul magic to answer your questions either way. Cursed be his name.

What platform will you be using for the Club PA only streams? I assume not Twitch, since there's no way to stream privately

ClubPA

We're going to be doing them on Patreon, they have an integration with a different streaming service

This is a very minor annoyance. I use Overcast and it refuses to put a podcast in by URL if the feed is empty. I'm sure you have baller plans but a 10 second podcast with a welcome or something would be helpful to bootstrap. :)

Ryan King

Huzzah! Any update on how/when existing Club PA memberships from the old service will port over? Or is that still a work in progress?

David Harris

Was there an announcement about the launch of this? Or are we just the sneaky few who were looking for it before G&T said anything about it?

been checking every day and woot!

Hey, so my Patreon e-mail address is different than the one I use for the login to the forums/website. Is there a way to reconcile this so I can continue to get the ad-free version of the website?

ClubPA

I think you'd probably need to have the two emails match up, but I'll check with our Technomancer. Tube can always change your email if necessary.

Really looking forward to this! Sounds like you have some cool content in the works! Real quick: will there be any way to get an archive of past Club PA exclusive comics?

ClubPA

Unfortunately, we're going to be offering refunds instead of credited time. The technology just couldn't come together on a reasonable time scale

Exciting stuff is coming! Glad to be a part of it all.

lucca

Wooohoo! Finally an auto-renewing method of giving y'all my monies!

Kaze Jung

This is amazing! Glad I could support you guys here and in the past. I’m not gonna worry about a refund. It all went to a great cause regardless. Hope to meet you all formally at PAX West = )

Love PA and look forward to this settin

Zack Wales

Very excited for this! However my penny arcade account isn't showing me as a patreon, does it take some time or should it happen automatically? I use the same email on both services.

ClubPA

We may need to make some tweaks to the front page integration, I'll page our Technomancer

Hooray, happy to be here!

Anthony Dye

yes finally! So glad to have this in a setup where I won't miss payments and scramble around at the last minute

Lina

OOOOOOOOoooooooooooo (imagine if you will, a dark emote)

Woot, great work guys, also shout out to your technomancers for releasing this the day before my subscription ran out!!!!

Anonymous

You mean to tell me that you planned no way to link accounts? So how long will I be stuck waiting to get my ad-free experience and comic downloads?

ClubPA

It's planned, and any remaining tech will be ironed out as soon as possible.

Yeeesssssss!!! Reoccurring auto-payments! Huzzah!

I am very excited about the quarterly care package, it feels like a loot box i might actually care about.

Will I still be able to get the podcasts on the website? Apparently patreon does not support Pocket Casts which is a little bit of a letdown.

ClubPA

Pocketcasts should work, it's just that there's nothing for it to read at the moment

Core Flux

Oh, does that mean I'll get the PA exclusive comic I missed in the early days when I hadn't noticed there were no "your subscription has passed" notifications? :-D

Arktos

Will we still be receiving email updates ? I quite enjoy getting those =)

ClubPA

We're going to post as much stuff on here as possible, because one thing that we've learned is that email is incredibly unreliable. It's still causing problems for us now, as people don't properly receive the emails we send. You can get posts from here to show up in your inbox though!

Fuzzy Reaper

On the Tiny Pass refunds, can those just get credited to our Patreon account? Or is there no way to store funds here? I had just re-upped there last month.

ClubPA

If you put it down on the form, Patreon might be able to. I suspect that it's going to be limited to straight cash refunds though.

Where is the discord "how to join" information available? Thanks!

ClubPA

You should have received an email from Patreon with a magic link to click that does all of the work for you

What's the ETA on the podcast feed having content?

Anonymous

I've signed up as a Patron however am still getting the "Join Club PA" on the PA website, is there a linking method I've missed?

ClubPA

Hopefully today, possibly tomorrow (since Wednesdays are pretty packed around here) :)

ClubPA

That's going to be filled in shortly, there'll be a pain free linking procedure. It may have been pushed back to early next week due to (I kid you not) a dental emergency

I'm from the future (2020). Sorry to say, it's a rough year. I came in search of news regarding the PA Staff podcast, but alas have found it stopped before this Patreon was created.
