Updated Patreon (Patreon)

Hello everyone, I wanted to announce a few changes and updates to the way things are happening here. But first, there's a new handbook in the playtest folder: Life! Here's the link for leaving comments:

The changes to the patreon are as follows:
The level to get a physical book has dropped from $25 to $20. The books are cheaper than we'd thought, and we'll contact everyone who's been giving at the higher level for a while about getting you something extra for your support. We've also clicked the little tab we forgot was there to allow you to leave us an address, so that should run smoother.
We've up'ed the no-stock-art goal. Now that we've had a few months of doing this, we realize it was a bit of a pipe-dream to do the handbooks with completely custom artwork, but it's still something we'll do if we can justify the price.
And lastly, we're changing the project from by month to by handbook. Now that we've been doing this for a few months we're no longer in desperate need of the patreon's funds before we can pay authors and artists (although we still need the patreon if we're going to keep it up), and even though January's book will still be released before the end of January, I feel bad about collecting pledges from people and not being able to get them their book immediately (I already run my kickstarters behind schedule, and I don't want to fall into that trap here as well). Now, rather than collecting pledges at the beginning of each month, pledges will be collected when each handbook releases.
Thank you all, and we'll have more information for you soon about the next handbook in the lineup, which due to some shuffling and one dedicated author, is going to be Destruction and the Blaster's Handbook!
