Do you want more physical goods? Patch & Poll (Patreon)

Hey Friends,

It's been a VERY busy week since wrapping up production on Dark Dice (in person). We're getting really close to announcing a new show, and have a LOT of content being prepped for a busy October! In the meantime...

Patches. We wanted to let you know that we've begun preliminary work on the 2024 White Vault patch design for 2024, that will be available to active patrons at the Initiate tier and above. We'll make a full post once we have a proper design to share.

We had originally made a mockup for a "rocker" that would fit under the 2023 Goshawk patch, but are experimenting with designs as a standalone patch. We wonder if any of you can guess the theme for this year ;)

Physical Goods Tier? We are looking into the possibility of offering Patrons your very own artifact (grípralviðr). An early cost analysis with prop-making specialists revealed that postage costs will be quite high, even if we can keep production costs affordable... And since these added costs will not directly aid in the production of our podcasts (the goal of our Patreon), we wanted to gauge your interest and comfort in the creation of a "yearly physical goods" tier.

The idea:A new tier that includes the perks of our $20 tier, billed yearly, with the estimated cost of making/shipping a yearly high quality physical object baked in. We plan to share photos of the prop in question before making such a tier, but we're in the very early phases of brainstorming and wanted to ask - if you feel that a $25-$35/mo tier (billed yearly) would be reasonable, and of interest.

This would potentially allow us to:

Ethically create high quality (individually numbered) props that you can take home (like an artifact)

Ensure we don't lose money making & shipping them (like our pins in 2023)

Increase stability to our Patreon subscriber count by having a higher number of yearly subscribers

Offer other quality props for Patrons in the future. A grípralviðr, a small scale statue from one of the sites, the painted bust of a character, (your ideas here), etc. Ideas don't have to be limited to The White Vault. Give us your ideas for our varied shows!

We look forward to your feedback!
