Welcome to the Pro Gamer's Guide Fan Club! 💙
Welcome Gamers! 💛
This is our first post on a brand-new platform... it feels so refreshing!Â
Whether you're new to the world of Pro Gamer's Guide or migrating from another platform, we're ecstatic to have you on our journey. Kevin and I look forward to bringing amazing stories, illustrations, and creations to life. We appreciate you being here and believing in us.
You may have a few questions, so let's tackle those right out of the gate.
Why are we moving away from Patreon?
There are a few reasons, actually:
- It's our chance to form a fully engaged fanbase from the ground up.
- This membership is tied to the existing shop.bricksobrian.com merchandise platform people are familiar with. That means...
- More opportunities for surprise gifts, one-off apparel items, and a seamless process for claiming those items.
- Ability to gift community memberships (especially during Bricks 'O' Brian live shows on Twitch).
- The platform we use for this membership service (Fourthwall) takes 60% less in fees (more $$$ for us to make cool stuff!
TLDR: It makes all the backend stuff unbelievably easier for us. Easier = more time to make cooler stuff.
What happens to Patreon now?
Patreon will exist as a place to support Bricks 'O' Brian content on an ongoing basis with no additional perks or rewards. I've found that most people on Patreon never (and I really mean never) engage with anything I do. People have told me time and time again, "I just want to support you; I don't need stuff." 🤷
Now, trust me, getting financial support from people with no expectations is 👌, so the Pro Gamer's Guide Fan Club is for those who do want to engage with our stuff and make future works awesome!
"I supported on Patreon annually. Can I transfer my member benefits to the PGG Fan Club?"
YES! Shoot us an email at progamersguidebook@gmail.com with the subject line "Patreon Transfer," we'll get you hooked up.
"Should I cancel my Patreon subscription?"
If you want to! No perks or rewards will be given to any Patreon supporter from this moment on, so if you're looking to get cool stuff, then feel free to cancel (I won't take it personally as long as you resubscribe here 😉)
