Annual Patron Survey 2021

FINAL UPDATE: Poll has closed and participants have been emailed their bonus map and the invite to the Community Generated Map experiment (if you tried to access it earlier and was unable to, it is now open). If you did not receive this please email me directly at info@venatusmaps.com to let me know. Survey data will be collected and I will be sharing it back out to everyone with plans for how I will be adapting to your collective feedback before the end of the month. Thank you!!

UPDATE: There are 3 days left to participate in this year's patron survey and 8 hours to vote in the WotC focus poll built on the early results of this survey. Thank you for your help!

Link to Patron Survey 2021 

Welcome to the ~3rd annual patron survey~ (*cheers and applause*)! Started in 2019 and again in 2020, this survey is my way of "checking back in" with you all as a large, overall group of wonderful people. I am asking that all willing patrons kindly consider taking a moment to respond to the survey linked above no later than September 15, after which point it will close for submissions.

The Goal

To more formally gather feedback and input from patrons that will directly allow me to reflect on recent changes and updates as well as influence the trajectory of future content in the year ahead.

The Incentive

While there aren't a ton of questions and the whole thing shouldn't hopefully take you more than a minute or two, your time is valuable and I genuinely appreciate you spending a small part of it to help give me insight to your wants & needs! As a thank you all participants will be sent a free bonus map at the end of the survey period (sept 15) as well as a participant-only invite to contribute to a community-generated map prompt.

The Outcome

After the survey closes (sept 15) I will be compiling the data for analysis and in the case of written responses, reading through each and every one (often times more than once). The data will then be shared back out to all of you alongside my interpretations of the results, confirmations on the things we're doing right, as well as my data-backed reasoning for why anything may be changing or experimented with in response to your input.

I've tried to keep this as streamlined as possible for ease--those of you who indicate your use of assets will be asked some asset-specific questions on page 2, while those of you who indicate you only use the maps will skip ahead to the 3rd and final page. Lastly, while these annual surveys are super helpful for getting me an accurate sense of where the community has needs and desires, it is far from the only way of making suggestions or giving feedback. Please feel free to DM me on Patreon, leave a comment on this post, or send me an email anytime you'd like at: info@venatusmaps.com.

Thanks again!!
