April Call For Questions! (Patreon)

Greetings, Patrons!

Later this month I want to do a few polls to reevaluate the type of content I'm producing, to make sure I'm using my time effectively and that patronage is worthwhile for all of you. However, for now we'll continue with the usual call for questions. Keep in mind that I often receive dozens of questions in a month, and try as I might, 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 may 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 (whether that's studying a real-world historical movement or third-party D&D supplement) that increases its effective size; even if it will only take three sentences to answer the question, if I have to do three hours of research first, it's going to go to the bottom of the slush pile. 

I'm more likely to spend time on a complex question if the topic seems like it will interest a significant number of people. So when you're looking through the thread, like questions you'd like to see answered! 

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 a side note: Questions don't have to be about Eberron! I'm happy to answer questions about Gloom, Phoenix: Dawn Command, world building, or anything else that I do. 

As always, thanks for your support!
