Ladies and gentlemen,
apologies for the intrusion.
As you all may be aware, my situation is not particularly rosy to say the least - I've been asking around the boards, on my page, etc. for a quite long time and since the consensus was this step and since I'm always open to listen to you and your suggestions, there is now finally...
*drumroll*
I have also endeavored to answer all questions you may have, so please, consider taking a look at the patreon, and also please consider reading the Q&A here on my site - whether and in what form my reviews continue to exist very much depends on you!
Even if you can't pledge (or don't want to), please consider spreading the word about my patreon!
Thank you for your kind consideration and all the support over the years,
Endzeitgeist out.

I would give you a dollar but I'm poor as f%$$ too. Hope it works out for you though.
Thanks, chaoseffect! Please consider sharing and spreading the word!

I hope $25.00 per month helps sir...The Flying Pincushion has benefited from your honest reviews, this is the least I can do to give back.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Wow. I am humbled by your support. *takes a bow* And yes, the new files are in the queue; I hope they'll be able to stand up to the playtesting! Thank you!

I have confidence that they shall...review on sir, review on.

To be totally honest, I owe you a debt, for a rather odd reason. The first couple of tough reviews you gave TFPG on the Into the Breach lines early books actually forced me to re-think how we do things, and make our products better in future releases. Without that slightly painful but needed push, TFPG would not have grown as writers, editors, and publishers.
@GM_Beernog: See, as stupid as that may sound, it is my objective to hep 3pps improve; if I managed to contribute to the development of your company, I'm glad. :)
Indeed, we do - and thank you so much, Oliver!
Best of luck my friend. I'd back ya but I'm between jobs ATM.

No probs and thanks for the well wishes! All the best for the job situation!

Glad to see it and wishing you all the best, even if I'm not in a position to contribute right at this moment!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
THANK YOU SO MUCH, everyone! I'm utterly stunned. Seriously! (And RJ - yeah, The Sisters of Mercy are one of my favorites and my style if pretty much classic goth/metal-head. :))

First and probably only time I've decided to become a supporter on Patreon.
It's gonna only be for a dollar a month, but that's no different than me buying you a soda once a month. I wont miss that dollar :)
Keep on keeping on and I hope that this continues to lead us into a new realm of reviewing prosperity!

Thank you so much, Insain! Seriously, I was NOT kidding when I said I'd be grateful for every buck! As the old Osiriani saying in my campaign goes: "Individual pieces of dust that swirl together will become a full storm." And that's one soda (or cup of coffee) a month I'll drink to your health!

Only 10 bucks away from the $200 mark!
Aye...it's 4 AM here and I'm giddy like a little boy. O.o :D

chipped in 5 bucks. best of luck to you! your reviews have helped me with a ton of 3rd party stuff and I want to see it continue
Typo on your page description Thilo:

Good luck with it. You're an extremely valuable contributor to the gaming community. Here's hoping you get rewarded for it, the way you deserve. :)

When he wakes up in the morning I think our dear friend will be a very happy man!
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
Holy cow, I think our friend just became a professional writer. Which is still mostly broke. But it's not all the way broke.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
I just woke up, did some chores and then opened my account - holy cow. I've been grinning like CRAZY. Literally, like a madmen. Then, I went outside for a second and took a couple of deep breaths. Then I returned and starter rolling will saves to disbelieve the illusion.
Holy moly. I am stupefied. I honestly expected cicadas chirping and tumbleweeds rolling - not this level of support. Wow. Just wow. Words fail me and my first reaction would simply be: "You're the best!!!"
Seeing how that is not adequate to describe my level of gratitude and capture the state of euphoria, I am just using the paltry words of gratitude available:
Thank you, every one of you.
From the bottom of my heart.
I will not let you down!
EDIT: Thanks for catching the typo, OSW - fixed!

Good move Thilo! And congrats!
In for $1. And heres a request: review some Flaming Crab Games products.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
It's well-deserved, Thilo. You provide a much-needed service to the 3PP community. If not for your reviews, many Dreamscarred products would simply not have ANY reviews. And since you don't pull punches or only review products you like, but also take the time to tell what was good, what was bad, etc. it provides valuable information to both the publisher AND the customer.
@Thanael: Flaming Crab products will be part of the choices next week. (And yes, Once upon an encounter: Riding Hood is done and will be published soon!)
@Jeremy: Thank you so much for the donation! Tomorrow will btw. see the testrun of the intro-module in my group; after that, the review will follow rather soon. :)

I can only afford a few dollars a month, but best of luck. You have provided a great service to the community for years and I'm happy to help that continue in a small way.

$500 reached! Congrats!. And almost down to 1 day job. (You need to get better day jobs...)

Man, this really really makes me wish I had $250/month I could give so I could turn Endzeitgeist into my own personal review monkey! And congrats on reaching $500/month, End!
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
My only fear - and I expect Endz is bright enough to recognize this - is that over time, the level of patronage has a decent likelihood of tapering off. Lifestyle has to reflect that this income isn't guaranteed.
That said, he deserves this.

I think most of us are donating small amounts like $10 that we might forget we are paying, but hopefully we can just push this again and get it back up if needed.

Hopefully by then, he'll have found a better source of income that relates to his talents. Hopefully by then, he won't need Patreon.

Aye, and I think his freelancing fee just went up :P

Thank you, everyone - this patreon indeed allows me to weather the transition I'm going through regarding my employment situation and look for proper jobs without having to resort to exploitative jobs or fearing whether I can pay the rent.
And yes, i am aware that there are bound to be fluctuations and the like - but I never would have believed that an outpouring of support like this would even be in the realm of possibility. I'm humbled beyond believe by this community. Thank you, each and every one of you - for each share, for each buck. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
While I was posting the reviews for today, a wonderful lady has catapulted the EZG-patreon over the third milestone! O__O
I am not exaggerating when I'm saying that this was only something I have dreamed about; fantasized in some moments about such a goal - and then discarded the notion. I did not dare to dream that so many of you fine folks would support me. I am exceedingly stunned and motivated to continue to bring you the quality reviews you deserve! You and your support, even if it is just spreading the word, means the world to me. Thank you, from the bottom of my now significantly less cynical heart!
Now while this week did not see too many "big" reviews, behind the scenes, I've been cranking away like a madman, finishing some freelancing assignments and doing extensive analysis of some BIG and work-intense books - the Dragon Companion's blocks, for example, were capital W level work. More are to come, ladies and gentlemen, and next week will see quite a bunch of bigger reviews - Path of Shadows, for example, will see a second playtest round this week-end, since I noticed some moving parts I need to see in action and the same holds true for certain Iron Titans. ;)
I also wanted to thank you for talking to me, spreading the word, for being awesome and I look forward and enjoy taking your suggestions and listen to what YOU want to see reviewed!
As an aside: Tomorrow is a holiday in Germany and I'll be spending the day, for once, not in front of the screen and instead go out - live, for the first time in months, without a gnawing existential anxiety at the back of my head - all thanks to YOU! You probably can't fathom how much that is worth to me! Regularly scheduled reviews will resume next Monday!
I remain, honestly humbled and happy,
yours,
Endzeitgeist.

The best part of this, is you are down to ONE job AND doing something you love that you get paid for. Win-win in my book.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Aye, though I'll wait a bit before quitting my gas station job to see whether there is significant fluctuation - for now, I don't have to get another job and can actually treat my passion as a serious job. This is a true gift indeed!!!

I often shop for 3PP pdfs here on Paizo to round out my campaign, and the first thing I look for on any product is Endzeitgeist's review. I always feel like I know what I'm getting based on your thorough reviews, and that is invaluable in helping me spend wisely. $1/month isn't much, but I had to contribute something.
Thanks so much for your good work and keep it up!

Enjoy the day, End.
Now I shall live in hope and dread for your review of The Secret of the Iron Titans.

Congratulations.
Also I keep reading the title as "I am now on Patron". :)
