i've been debating opening a patreon for a while and hadn't done it bc i didn't think i had much to give bc i dont like the idea of locking normal WIPs behind a paywall... but i'm thinking an adopt/gatcha oriented patreon might be a better idea...? i am not sure about pricing so i am 100% open to suggestions... also i specifically am thinking about having the tiers being these:

• Every Tier - Patron Loyalty = Free Adopt

Every patron will have their payment logged towards redeeming a free gatcha/adopt token. This will allow a free roll/claim and earned after an accumulated patronage of $60...ish? This will likely be cheaper than the average adopt but I think that would make it a nice reward to be able to essentially pay forward for a free adopt.

$3 - Early Access Tier

Will let you see every post and have early access/claims but nothing beyond that. Early claims include the ability to claim WIP adopts and to pay an additional fee to make it a CYOP adopt or semi-custom!

$6 - Mangonada Tier

Same as Early Access Tier as well as a 5% discount on every commission and select adopt openings. (Since loyalty is tied to accumulation of cost, most adopts will not be eligible for discount unless loyalty for the month is to be forgone.)

$9 - Small Poke Tier

Same as Mangonada Tier but the discount is upped to 10%.

$12 - Medium Poke Tier

Same as Small Poke Tier but the discount is upped to 15%. Additionally, access to exclusive discounted sketch commissions and requests.

$15 - Large Poke Tier

Same as Medium Poke Tier but the discount is upped to 20%. Additionally, same sketch commission/request access as well as access to experimental commissions and requests. (i.e. animated icons, new styles, etc)

$69 - You're Nuts Tier

Same as Large Poke Tier but the discount is upped to 30% and you can claim a free adopt each month.

If I do this, I don't think I will necessarily make a patreon-exclusive server but I think I would make patreon-exclusive roles/section in my personal server just for ease of access. But yeah... these are some thoughts...

Not sure when I'm gonna finish them up but stopping here for now :}

theres still several more to design whew

Dainty details here specifically!

And general trade bulletin here.

You can comment on this bulletin, on the stash link, or DM via TH or discord.

I don't think this will be something that will be sometime soon but I do wanna do a few gatcha style adopt sets. I'm not sure what to do first so I wanna measure interest in the ideas I have right now. If you have other suggestions, feel free to comment!

Also, I think for gatcha adopts the entry price will be split into two categories: basic roll ($20-30?) and premium roll ($40-60?). Basic rolls will roll for one adopt from a gatcha base set. Premium rolls will roll for either two of the gatcha base set or one premium adopt that may be on a full body base or even off base. Not sure if that is a good plan or not but I am open to criticism and suggestions.
