Content

As you probably read in my previous post from a couple seconds ago, I'm deleting two of the four tiers for this Patreon. As this leaves me with very few tiers, I would like to introduce some new ones. The thing is, I’m not sure what kind of rewards I can give that people would be interested in.

Thus, I'm asking you to please let me know what you would like to see as a reward for joining this Patreon. You can do that by filling out the poll below and/or leaving a comment, sending an e-mail to mpmb[at]flapkan.com, or joining the discussion on Discord (assuming one happens).

Note that you can select multiple answers, you are not limited to just a single response.

Comments

Brett Abbott

I find that whatever interests the creator is what really drives something forward. What do you think would be fun to do. Do more of that.

charles cole

to be able to import or character sheets into VTT's like roll 20 and Astral table top and such

Ross Ramsay

More than anything I want this to be something you can enjoy rather than burn out on. that said, if I can vote for anything it would be NOT exclusive features on the sheets... can my vote be counted as a negative one in that column?

Xavius Night

voting 'something else, I'll explain in the comments' and am now explaining: The ability to vote each month on whether the community wants you to concentrate on A) Yourself, B) Official Content, or C) Tier-based Content exclusively this month. Obviously with the ability for you to veto this if you REALLY need a 'you' month or whatnot.

Oscar Ramirez III

As most people have said here, the most important feature is something that will keep your passion for this project going. That said: a way to import these sheets into Foundry or Roll20 would be at the top of my list! It would help to link things in so much better!!!

Aidan Streames

"Something explained in comments": The ability to import to Foundry, Roll20 and other VTTs would be fantastic. I don't know if that's for you to sort out or if the VTTs themselves have to allow it, but that would be heavenly.

MLDKF

I'd love to see 3rd Party Scripts added, especially if they're from popular D&D content makers that make their own stuff

Kevin P Boerwinkle

"Something else, I'll explain in the comments": Add mine to the voices of those interested in importing the sheets into VTTs.

Nathan Rule

I voted for Scripting, Would this be Javascript or Applescript for acrobat or something else? Maybe Q/A for PDF scripting or some of the unique features in Acrobat

Christian Smith

Like others have said: something of interest to you. I find find that creators are most interesting/enjoyable when they're doing things they're most interested in

Jon Beavers

Take that extra time rewarding to just keep plugging along... Take care of yourself as you can, definitely follow your interests, but don't make it so daunting you can't commit... We got you!!

Anna

I would love a scripting class, but that could be done in a youtube series. In the long term, it's important that you do something you're excited about! The biggest killer of passion projects is a lack of passion, so do what makes you happy!

Ryan M Rose

You put out an excellent product! I am very happy with it and as long as you keep updating it with the new content ill be subscribed.

David Skolnick

I agree with being able to import my sheet to roll 20 or fantasy grounds, but since I'm also playing in a pathfinder 1e game, I sure would love a sheet for that (however, I know that would be an enormous amount of work, so I know it just wishful thinking). Most important, though, is that you enjoy your work, so you should make tier focused on doing something you like to do rather than something that is a burden.

Shad Gray

To all those saying that they want to be able to import the sheets to VTTs... That is NOT something that could be a tier based reward. Its a sheet feature, that once implemented, would be available to everyone. It would also (probably) take even more time and energy than many of the highly requested features. Talk about designer burnout. Oof. If this is a feature you require and think others do too, go to discord vote on it. Because that's where sheet features are discussed and put to MPBP and the community. All that said, I'm just a longtime "Scribe". I've never had an interest in a custom script for some homebrew content. That isnt to say there arent more features that Id love to see. But like 99% of the people who donate here, Im just happy the sheet exists at all. Its SO simple to sit down with a first time player and walk them through character creation using the MPBP sheet and its really easy for them to maintain it. What more could I want? Sure. It would be nice if SOMEONE came up with an app that could generate custom codes for homebrew magic items or spells, but asking Joost to create a custom script for $20 seems like a waste of his time and energy. And, as he has pointed out, he is already months behind in those upper-tier rewards. In my opinion... MPBP should stay at 2 reward tiers for a while and not add more to his already full plate. Take time, to "catch up". Breath a bit. Maybe focus on core features instead of making homebrew and 3rd party scripts. Then again, Im just a long time Scribe (as are over 90% of the people who donate here - going off his Patreon numbers. That isnt to say that anyone donating more isnt of value, but if he is burning himself, doubling his workload, for what about to an extra 20% of revenue, then

Shad Gray

* ... then it seems like a lot of work for very little reward. And I don't just mean monetary reward for himself. Im talking about having more time for his family, and to work on scripts for features that the majority of his subscribers have been requesting.

Kristan Ludlow

I'm just thrilled that this sheet exists! Thank you for the hard work you do.

Tyron Gore

Access to live scripting masterclass and access to said classes for download or vod

The question here is what kind of monthly reward I could give for choosing a higher Patreon tier. What you are talking about is a feature for the sheets. Those are not the same thing. What you are going to want to do is vote for the relevant feature requests so that they become a higher priority. Here are the direct links to the feature requests (you'll need to link your Patreon to your Discord account before using these links): https://discord.com/channels/533350585706217494/631432292245569536/672740568161320961 https://discord.com/channels/533350585706217494/631432292245569536/721164509573545985

These sheets are automated using JavaScript, which is the only thing that Adobe Acrobat uses for their forms. The sheet accepts import scripts to add extra content, like new (sub)classes, races, feats, spells, magic items, weapons, armour, etc. The documentation for adding this stuff is all available on my GitHub, so if you are willing, you can create new content yourself by looking at the documentation. The idea of the reward would be to have a monthly session to help people making custom additions, showcase good practice, or generally show what is possible. Questions about PDF scripting in general would also be possible during something like that.

Thank you very much for understanding the difference between a feature request and a monthly tier reward! I don't know why that is getting mixed up by a lot of people.

morepurplemorebetter
>>80902535

This is a very nice thought, thank you. I'm not sure how well this would work in practice, but I'll keep it in mind and think how I could implement something like this.

Simon Brodie

Do you actually need new tiers or are you just feeling slightly guilty that having dropped 2 tiers, you feel you really SHOULD add more back in? Why not take the time to catch up with the backlog, then, once you're on top of things, you can consider adding another tier, or adding little things to existing tiers if you like. Do we actually need more than 'I want access to the sheet and to occassionaly vote about features'? ;)

morepurplemorebetter
>>80928645

I have been wanting to revamp the tiers for a while now, but never made the time to do so. Multiple people have reached out to me that they would like to pledge to a higher tier, but none exists because they are all sold out. Also, Patreon has some new features, like tier-specific welcome messages, that I would like to set use, for example. I have just decided that now is a good time to rethink what my Patreon offers/displays. Have it be more in line with the website and (hopefully) clearer for newcomers.

Dan Ryan

I'm supporting just so you keep doing good work. :) The sheet is reward enough. Just jumped up a tier to help out a bit more.

Ashe Armstrong

I'd huck a $20 at you for a dark mode sheet.

Christopher Rhoades

Totally selfish request. Cobalt soul monk. Keep on truckin'!

The question here is what kind of monthly reward I could give for choosing a higher Patreon tier. What you are talking about is 3rd-party content for the sheets. Content can be a monthly reward, but which content that will be is to be decided in a later poll by whomever will be part of that tier by then.

Doug Kennie

I have been using your character sheet since I discovered it. For me the ability to generate my PCs and have all the references built in is enough reward for me.

Erik T.

I just want an updated AL logsheet

Ah, nice. Though I will say I wish there was a way to keep the color version with a dark background.

chris

How about 1-2 times per year, answer q&a on discord about scripting questions

morepurplemorebetter
>>82252670

I think that wouldn't really be often enough. People are asking scripting questions on Discord almost daily (and I try to answer them at least once or twice a week).

morepurplemorebetter
>>80964594

Getting a dark background on the colourful version would indeed require a special PDF for just that, as the images are now made for a white background. You can still replace the background using the same options, but it won't look so pretty. I don't think it will be a very useful feature, because the sheet is primarily intended to be printed and I can already hear the complaints about the print-out using all the black printer ink ;)
