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.

I think more feedback is more important. I support you so you can continue and personally don't need it to be patreon access only :)

I voted for patreon early access, because I hope that this will bring you some more of them. But not a long one.

I would go with open to everyone, rather than putting a price barrier on access. I know that without your sheets pathfinder would be near unplayable to me at times. The fact you make this stuff at all is enough of a reward for me.

If this is not Patrons only, why be a patron?

I would hope that releasing things early would bring more patrons over but honestly will probably just make people wait two more weeks or so for it
