Question: patrons early access (Patreon)
Content
I'm working through the Advanced Players Guide classes, and hope to have an early preview of it on the dev site in a few weeks. I'll then face a decision: should that early preview be limited to patrons only, the way my work on Pathfinder 2e was? Or should it be open for everyone?
On the one hand, it's nice for patrons to get a tangible benefit in return for their support. On the other hand, opening it up lets more people give me useful feedback. This decision will apply in the future to other new content - Lost Omens archetypes, Secrets of Magic, third party content like the Kineticist, etc.
I'll also be asking this question on Facebook; but you, the patrons, get more say.
As a reminder, all the work I do is open sourced on GitHub, so somebody who wanted to could grab all of it for themselves, including the early access work in progress. That isn't even theft - my license explicitly permits it. But in practice most people don't run their own web servers.
