March Call for Questions (Patreon)

Greetings, Patrons!

While my IRL situation is approaching a conclusion, it's still taking up most of my time. In April I want to do a general review of the type of content I'm creating and to do some polls to determine if there's more effective ways to utilize the time I have available—whether that's creating videos, more sneak peeks, or something else—but I don't have the time to tackle that this month, so we're going to proceed as we have in the past. However, as always, keep in mind that I will not be able to answer every question. To increase the odds of getting an answer, consider the guidelines below. 

Given the volume of questions I receive, I limit myself to answering one question per patron per month. You can ASK multiple questions, because it may be one is easier for me to answer than another—but if you ask seven questions, I'm only going to answer one of them.

If I can answer a question in 2-3 sentences, I will answer it here (as a reply to your comment). If I can answer a question in 2-3 paragraphs, it may be answered as an IFAQ article, but I only have time to post a few IFAQs per month. If it would take 2-3 pages to answer the question, that's a Dragonmark article, and I generally can only write one of those in a month. So in short, the longer and more complicated the question, the lower the chance that I'll have time to answer it.

If I would have to do significant research to answer a question, that increases its effective size. It may be that the question only takes a few sentences to answer—but if I'd have to do two hours of research and contemplation to answer it, it's going to get passed over. An example of this is "What can you tell us about labor movements in Khorvaire," which has come up a few times. It's a great question; the problem is that I, Keith, know nothing about the history of labor movements, and before I could come up with a logical answer as to how they'd develop in Eberron I'd need to understand how they develop in OUR world—and I don't have time to conduct that sort of research right now. 

Likewise, a question that is about clarifying existing lore is always going to be easier than one that requires me to create entirely new lore. 

If you asked a question in a previous month that didn't get an answer, you can always ask it again, but consider as to how these guidelines apply. I do my best, but time is always the enemy.

As always, thanks for your support!
