NOW AVAILABLE... Tomb Raiders brings you four delightfully detailed NPC parties of rascals and rivals, every one with its own unique flavor and tactics for antagonizing your heroes and becoming the guys they love to hate! Ranging from 1st level to 11th, from drug-dealing lowlifes to undead archaeologists!
You can pick this up from the Legendary Games webstore, the Open Gaming Store, Paizo, or DrivethruRPG (including new affiliate links through our site), and for the Egyptian AP Plug-Ins line a new Patreon subscription we're trying out!
Aaaaaaand supporting. I may never run the AP in question, but Egypt has a special pace in my heart.
(Also, think I'm the first patron! Do I win a prize? :P)
How does patreon work? (And is it expected that I can't read much when I go to your patreon page? There's a couple of "patron only" blocks but not much else).
Steve Geddes, click on the Home tab, and you get some more information on this particular project.
As I understand Patreon, you set an amount, you want to pay for each product released in this Patreon subscription (say, $5). You would then get the product once it's done.
Alternatively, you can set a max monthly amount, and the cost cannot exceed this amount, regardless of how many products are put out in a given month.
That is how I understand it at least, based on other Patreon projects.

Ah, yeah I see. Thanks.
Now supporting this shindig.

As far as I understand it, you get charged only in months when new products are added, so you get charged nothing for those products in other months.
How that works with products that already exist I'm still checking with the Patreon people. It would make the most sense if you just paid each time you downloaded a project from the Patreon page. This is our first venture with them, so we may tweak things a bit as we get the hang of how it works for us and for you.
Our everlasting gratitude! :)
And sure, shoot me an email at makeyourgamelegendary@gmail.com and I'll send you something fun in your email.
Well, I was just being cheeky, but sure. I'll bite. :-)
This isnt totally on-topic, but it's not totally off-topc either. Can anyone tell me how to log in to Patreon?
I've signed up and supported a couple of projects. However, whenever I return to patreon.com - I just get a list of 'spotlighted' projects with no login tab. There's also no FAQ link, nor any 'contact us' details.
If I go to a project I've supported (like Legendary Games) - all I see are a whole lot of "Patron only" pictures and an invitation to become a patron. There's no way to indicate I'm already signed up...Similarly with an email I just received showing a new release with another project I'm supporting - I follow the link to the new material but all I can do is to sign up as a patron again.
Terribly confused. :(
Steve, this may be a dumb question, and I'm sorry if this comes across as patronizing... but can you see a grey "log in" button in the top right of your screen? To the right of the search bar? I got confused for a while, because apparently Patreon won't keep you logged in. (Most annoying, I rather wish it would.)
If you're not seeing that at all, then that's really weird.

I'm interested in the Patreon model, as it seems to work well for plenty of folks, but this is also an experiment. If we find that using Patreon makes things harder instead of easier, we'll continue looking at other options to make LG subscriptions work best for us and our customers.

No worries - thanks for the help. When talking technology, I prefer people to err on the side of patronising. There's a lot I just can't get to work. :/
I'm not seeing a "log in" button, nor even a search bar. :(
If I go to patreon.com, I see a whole bunch of projects and some category sidebars down the left hand side. Across the top of the page is just a thick, grey bar. Hovering my mouse all over that and clicking wildly doesn't reveal any hidden links.
If I follow the en5iders link I received today, it takes me to their project, but the only option I have is to "become a patron". There's some Twitter, gmail and "follow" buttons near the top of the individual project, but needless to say I don't know any of that stuff. There's also no search bar, no way to log in, nor any "contact us" or FAQ.
We recently got a new type of "NBN" internet connection and the installer laughed pretty hard at my computer (which is about ten years old). It only has a dodgy little wifi receiver attached rather than built in and it no longer sees our new fangled modem. I wonder if I'm going to need to bite the bullet and upgrade. Perhaps my internet explorer is too old also?

Don't take me as a datapoint, Jason. I'm always going to struggle.
The concept (click here and get everything posted to you as soon as it's done) is an awesome one. This is almost certainly what my IT friends refer to as a PICNIC.
