Thank You So Much!

Through this journey with you our patrons we have learned a lot about what Play On is good at and what we definitely can improve on. 

As a Patron you have always received early access to our content and that will continue in 2021. We are able to continue to make content due in large part to your support !

We are excited to share with you how 2021 will be different, and will be even bigger and better. First off, Space Marine Steve is able to dedicate many more hours to his accountability here with Patreon and that should immediately mean much more engagement for you in 2021. He will share more information with you below. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sticking with us through a challenging 2020. 

- Tak, Executive Producer.

An Exhilarating Roller Coaster (or maybe Land Speeder).

We have in less than 2-years been blessed with a large audience on YouTube and this community here of supportive fans. You, Patrons, have made a lot of things possible for us and I can't really thank you enough!

Change has been a part of everyone's vocabulary this year and it has been no different for Play On Tabletop. In this last year we have hit the 100,000 subscriber milestone on YouTube, moved to a dedicated studio space, Tak has found a love for after work Pina Coladas, experimented with new shows, and feel we are finding our place in the greater community of this hobby we all love so much.

As a team we have talked at length about how best to reciprocate your support here on Patreon in the coming year (and into the far flung future). We have explored what Patreon is now, and what it should be. We want to sustain our efforts in any promise we make moving forward to you.

The team has placed their trust in me, Space Marine Steve, to manage Patreon with hours of my week dedicated specifically to this accountability. So, that is change number 1.

1. A Dedicated Patreon Manager.We are going to have a lot of fun together. I will be here to answer questions more frequently, respond to comments, and create some great back-stage content to bring you closer to the action! I am excited to get to know you all! Look for more posts in the coming weeks about the kind of content I will be creating for you exclusively here on Patreon.

2. A Ton More Content For You To Have Early Access To.As you may already be aware we have 7 major releases here in December of which you will have early access to all of it. After a brief break and when we come back in February you are going to see a much more consistent stream of content with twice as many releases planned than in 2020. How can we do that? Well, that brings me to point there.

3. More Resources, More Shows!The major reason we are confident about being able to pull this off despite what is happening in the world today is that we are a point where we can afford to pay for people's time. Director of Photography and everyone's favourite T'au commander, Nicholas Froese, was the first member of Play On to receive salary and be able to split hours with his day job. To support Nick we have added another contract editor in Mike who's work you would have seen with Kill Team Challenger Episode 2 (Space Wolves vs Ad Mech). And, I am also am able to get compensated to spend more time fulfilling Play On tasks.

With these dedicated hours we aim to overcome past challenges and produce more than we have ever produced before.

Thank you so much! We really could not do this without you and your continued support. You will help take Play On Tabletop to the next level of content creation for this hobby. Our promise to you is to create exciting entertainment that feels fun so that we inspire positivity and inclusivity. I look forward to this journey together with you.

Can’t think of a better guy for the job! Steve’s communication has always been entertaining and straightforward. Looking forward to an awesome 2021!

Amazing news!! I can't wait to see what you will do in 2021. And it is great to know Steve will be with us all along the way here. Steve 40k in 40s was so fun, I can't wait to see him in full action over here. And about all of you being a positive and inspirational force in the hobby, I can tell you that thanks to you, I started to work more on scenography for my games, started with Kill Team and now I'm even asembling my first Tau Kill Tem (yeah, Nick you managed to get one guy for the greater good 😁). Thanks for all, and all the best for 2021!!

Marshall Dubay

This is great news guys, let's hope 2021 is better for everyone in every aspect! Any thoughts of setting up a discord to help grow the community? Ok ill stop asking now, i promise. :)

Awesome!

Great news and great way to see out 2020 to really plough ahead with 2021. Really looking forward to everything you guys do it’s always great fun!

Great news!!! That’s so awesome and I’m so happy you guys are able to do even more content. I always look forward to seeing that notification that there’s something new from PoT. You guys are by far the greatest 40K batrep channel on the internet. The time, love and passion you spend creating each episode truly shows in every video. You guys always look like you’re having a lot of fun which is what this game is all about. I can’t wait to see what you do in the new year and I’m excited to see the rest of the stuff to finish this year. I’ve been into 40K lore for over 20 years now but watching Nick play and seeing his army showcase is what made me decide to make Tau my first army and to actually begin playing. Unfortunately I decided to start playing at the beginning of a pandemic and haven’t been able to play a game myself but it’s given me plenty of time to paint and to learn. Thank you guys for being such a inspirational channel for this awesome hobby and for me personally. Keep up the great work!!!

So excited for the tremendous growth this year and really looking forward to all the great content this fantastic team will be putting out in the next

You guys rock, part of what got me into Warhammer 40K, so I'm excited to see what you guys have in store. First though we gotta make sure Steve wins at least one game in the upcoming tournament so that he has a victory before 2021 and Season 3.

Ragow

Love to hear this! I'm a recent convert to 40K as in 2020 recent haha but have been hooked since the minute I started. I found your style of battle reports so incredibly helpful in learning the game and especially your how to play in 9th edition. I cant thank you guys enough for all the hard work you put in and for the quality content you produce. Can't wait to see what you've got lined up for Dec and as a fellow SM player best of luck Steve. May the emperor guide your hand with those dice rolls

The Tape Keeper

Steve is baller for communication! This is going to be awesome :) I love how much you guys are keeping your words and stepping up, I'm glad I'm supporting fellow Canadian creators and I cant wait for more! Coming back to this and the preview on the championship was an awesome way to start a weekend after a week without internet (damn moving!)

I have a question! Have you guys ever thought about doing Live streamed games? Like have 1vs1 game with 2 commentators on the side. Take questions and comments live from fans and it also opens up the donation feed. I feel like you guys would do really really well with that if you had a once a week live game. You’d still have your awesome edited games and these would just be fun interactions with fans and playing the game. Just a thought but I think it would be awesome and you’d make a nice bit of extra cash doing it also which would help even more with future plans.

Gue’Vesa Webb

I fell like it would work out really well for you all. You get to interact with fans and we get to ask questions live. Win for both sides. It gives the option for people to donate to the channel when making comments which is a win for you guys. I’m sure buying equipment and renting the space isn’t cheap ;) I also think it would just be a lot of fun for all involved. No matter what I love the channel. This is the only channel that I put any kind of financial support to because I truly believe in what you all are doing and love how well you do it. Keep it up! I’m a fan for life.

Just want to say i appreciate you all really investing into this and navigating the real world issues of work/money/life and splitting time and respecting that with compensation. I love the content and am here for the long haul but yea my respect to the organization.
