_QU3ST Update! (Patreon)

It's official folks, Alex and I have reached Level 5 of _QU3ST! ...CAW! CAW!

I believe it was somewhere around Month Three of play that we decided to open prize tiers up to include Platinum and Latinum. But rounding off Month Four we recognized that we hadn't collected those prizes, and there were holes being burned into our wallets.

From the beginning this had been a concern on my part. Purchasing rewards for oneself feels great, but if/when it becomes unsustainable it's time to re-asses and change the structure of our _QU3ST.

As we continue into Month Five we've simultaneously lowered the number of tiers back to three (Bronze, Silver, Gold) while increasing the number of points needed to get there. Additionally, we've added small rewards for every 100 points.

Because we have budgetary restrictions we placed a dollar cap on each prize tier (with the 100 point rewards being free). In this way it will be much harder to overspend—but even still—this is a trial that we will again re-asses when the time comes.

I can't stress enough that _QU3ST Game System not only allows for this customization, but openly encourages it. Every house, every player will be different. You don't get better at playing this game by continuous play, you improve with communication, planning, and adaptation. Mindful play, in short.

That's today's post y'all! Happy Monday!
