Hi gang,

I've been invited to a coaching thing. I don't know all the details yet, but part of it will involve tightening all the loose screws on the my glorious digital empire, which for sure includes making my Patreon better by using all the features available to me.

I've always had a comics first, Patreon second approach to content, because I want everyone to benefit from Swords releasing at the same time so you can discuss things as they happen. I don't think that will change, but I'm going to see where the process takes me.

This is just a heads up that I am going to be all-in on improving things for a while, so you'll see some things move around. As always, I am open to your feedback and want to solve your problems.

Upcoming stuff:
- The Swords Annual Survey early September
- I will be doing 30 daily comics for Swordtember, using my own list, or die trying
- Patron Swor'nament finale in October
- Episode 1000 party by Christmas, depending on the success of this other stuff

If I improve my branding, do you want me to talk all normal and down-to-earth as usual, or is it time to start hamming things up? Vote in the poll below.

Medieval style could be fun, but I know from experience that adding something like that takes extra energy

great point, for me part of the appeal is feeling like I’m connecting with an old internet friend.

As a suggestion, talk normal. Write the occasional headline, subhead, or pull quote in medieval style for affect.
